Mermaid's associate intersectional cis feminist She/Her

Mermaid's associate accuses FPFW Nic Williams of "profiting from 'transphobia'". 1) Nic's worked for FREE for 3 years. 2) Mermaids received over £700K last year and the National Lottery gave them £500K. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1322817633784369154.html

Someone dug: "Good Luck, Nic. Thanks to mimmymum for yet further encouragement. She has been immense in this fight in peaking ordinary people".

The other weird thing about Helen is that her Twitter account purports to have 14 thousand followers, yet her rants get more attention here than they do on Twitter, a smattering of likes and replies here and there, and often retweets herself. She’s either fading into irrelevance or those followers aren’t exactly genuine.

Yes she doesn’t get allot of engagement, nor do mermaids. Obviously people can buy followers 👀

This is why I will not donate to Children in need or Comic relief. I do my homework and make sure my small contributions go to organisations that do actually help vulnerable women and children.

Ah, thanks for the reminder. Happy to help pay a small portion of Nic Williams' very well deserved salary. Dug.

Just giving this thread a gentle nudge as the crowdfunder page says there's only one day left to accept donations.

Its brilliant news. Achieved target. With the average donation being thirty two quid.

No half a million pounds of lottery money, no government funding. Just ordinary women and men horrified that safeguarding and women's and children's rights are being erased.

Pretending that Nicola Williams is obtaining money, in order to undermine the equality act, rather than to uphold it, is seriously out of line. I hope she sues.

Same old same old really.

Mimmymum is surely one of the most successful peakers, maybe after McKinnon and Yaniv.

BettyDuKeiraBellisMyShero · 10/11/2020 18:13

I can't help but see her as a ridiculous panto character. She honestly thinks the various women's campaigning groups like FPFW are one woman outfits and a bot army funded by some shadowy US cabal.

Mimmymum gives me proper secondhand cringe. Can’t imagine how her kid is gonna feel in 5-10 years when they look back at mother’s ‘activism’

(And yes, I know I’m late back to the party, but the new ‘notifications’ tab showed me this thread again)

Did they meet the stretch target? Or is the funding website doing the same thing they did with Allison Bailey and closing the donations option as soon as the initial target has been reached?

DerryWitch · 11/11/2020 18:11

Hi Squirrel Nutkin. Nothing sinister here. As I understand it, it's standard to run for 28 days so it ended on Sunday night. I know they are delighted with the support. They got very close to the stretch target with a huge rush on the last day. They had not asked for any funding for two years so they really needed it. You might notice that the DONATE buttons are a bit more prominent on their website now so hopefully they won't have to do another big ask, unless there's something major like a legal case.
