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

As a child, I absolutely didn't get the point of The Emperor's New Clothes tale, as it seemed too ridiculous to make sense. I certainly get the point now!

Good luck, Maya!

RagingBall · 14/11/2019 21:02

Good luck Maya! We're all behind you.

PhonicTheHedgehog · 14/11/2019 21:35

Thanks for taking this on for all of us and sorry you’ve had to.

AlwaysColdHands · 14/11/2019 22:35

Courage, Maya, and a massive thank you. We’re all standing with you 💪🏻

GeordieTerf · 14/11/2019 22:37

Good luck Maya Smile

Good luck, Maya. Thank you for doing this. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. My spade is ready to do some more digging if you need it.

stuckinreverse · 14/11/2019 23:29

good luck maya

everythingthelighttouches · 14/11/2019 23:40

Best wishes Maya. Thank you for doing this for us all.

GrinitchSpinach · 14/11/2019 23:58

Thank you for all you are doing, Maya, and for keeping us posted whilst you do it!

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 15/11/2019 00:25

Best of luck Maya! Thanks for explaining the "belief" angle, I feel more confident for this now.

RealityNotEssentialism · 15/11/2019 06:06

Go Maya!

Cuntysnark · 15/11/2019 06:26

Good luck Maya

CrumpetyTea · 15/11/2019 06:49

Good Luck.
thank you for the link to Maya's summary of her views - it really resonated particularly the bits : ^•I don’t know what the ‘feeling of being a woman’ is. If ‘woman’ is defined as someone who has this feeling I don’t fit the criteria!
•I have a definition of woman — adult human female. It does not come with any expectations or requirements for gendered behaviour^

GeordieTerf · 15/11/2019 11:06

What time is it?

Sunkisses · 15/11/2019 11:20

Oh cripes 🙄 Maya's ex-employer is trying to use intersex as a 'gotcha'. Summons Claire Graham, intersex advocate!

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 15/11/2019 11:22

are you there sunkisses ???

littlbrowndog · 15/11/2019 11:25

Go maya go go

Sunkisses · 15/11/2019 11:26

Maya's ex-employer is trying to assert that intersex conditions 'prove' there is a third sex. Maya is running rings around her, and showing that intersex individuals are still male or female

deary, deary me

bring out the speggs!

Sunkisses · 15/11/2019 11:28

@BernardBlacksWineIceLolly yes I'm here. Maya is incredible

Good Lord. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but they've got absolutely nothing, have they???! Intersex, coat-tails of gay rights, and, in desperation, apartheid.

Absolutely fuck all argument.

What next? Clownfish?

Datun · 15/11/2019 11:33

Brilliant Sunkisses. Sending you and Maya love and suppprt x

Sunkisses · 15/11/2019 11:35

Maya is calm, cool, collected. The ex-employer sounds smug but very uninformed. She's just asserted that doctors are guessing at children's sex at birth. Much mirth in the court room

BouquetOfRoses · 15/11/2019 11:37

Good luck Maya! 🍀

HandsOffMyRights · 15/11/2019 11:39

Bloody hell, I trust the judge will see through this farce and insult to intersex people.
