Maya Forstater court case

[Bardonnay]

Sorry to link to the DM but they've covered Maya Forstater's upcoming court case here:

Maya's account of events is here and her post links to updates about the case: https://medium.com/@MForstater/i-lost-my-job-for-speaking-up-about-womens-rights-2af2186ae84

Tax barristers, eh?
Well dodge, all of them.

Tbf Hardy is full of men to loathe. But yes, Angel Clare is worth some bile.

@AnotherLass
Object has tweeted that Clair Quentin said that nobody is being given puberty blockers by the Tavistock, that it's an invention of the right wing press (!)
I can't seem to find that tweet, do you have a link?

Reading this with a face like this

Well, that HR director must be regretting picking Quentin as a witness.

I wonder if he stayed to listen all afternoon.

I very much doubt it, this is what they are supporting after all.

Kool aid does that to you?

Here:

twitter.com/ObjectUK/status/1196463983043268610

so Clair had a mid life crisis change of name, pronouns and sartorial style, and then Maya lost her job because Clair thought every thing Maya wrote about women's privacy, dignity and safety was an attack on Clair?

Have I got that right?

Kool aid does that to you?
😂

Government announces consultation.
Person responses to consultation.
Person branded a bigot and loses their job.

Still blows my mind

M's L: please answer the questions one at a time. Do u accept that she is not as interested in you as you are in yourself?
Q: No.

Did you all catch that, on the Object thread? I am actually choking with laughter here.

Sure, HR dude supports the right to identify blah blah, but they would not expect this irrational and highly personal and inappropriate stuff about genitals and non existent violence and the rest of the twitter trans bonkers. If it's the first time you have heard all of this you will get a shock and as most of it is deep in trans twitter behind a blocker I bet he's not heard much of it before.

How embarrassing to be in a tribunal on that guys side.

Shame...

Looks that way.

I have lolled all day at this thread. Clair is making a real knob of Clair's self.

Woke HR director has rendered himself unintelligible

when he said that all the people who complained were women, we literally have NO IDEA what he means

I thought the purpose of language was to gain common understanding

Sorry to say I've barely got past the 'street violence wing'. Sniggering madly.

No matter how badly the trial seems to be going (or well) I'd wait for the judgement before celebrating. I've sat through numerous trials and am constantly amazed at the legal professions ability to make a pigs ear out of a silk purse.

Yes. Surely a lot hangs on Maya's employment status/rights.

I need the transcript of this for my Christmas present.

Is transcription something we should crowdfund (I believe it's expensive)? The live tweeters are heroic, but I have a feeling the authoritative full version is going to be a seminal text...

Please don't follow that link midcenturylegs posted, it leads to a well known right wing, most unpleasant person's website.

Wow there is so much that has been stated as fact in this case that is seriously libellous!

Look forward to the headlines in Prick News:

"It was confirmed in court today that Mumsnet has a street violence wing"

I'd chip in for that Perking

I’ve just heard about the bit about Quentin defending ‘short cis people’ from having their bodies measured... or something...
