It took over a year...

"LGBA applied to register as a charity in March 2020. Its purposes are to promote equality and diversity and human rights.
The test of charity status is set out in law. A charity is an organisation with exclusively charitable purposes for the public benefit, that is subject to the jurisdiction of the High Court of England and Wales. If it meets these legal tests, it will be entered on the charity register.
It is not the Commission’s role to make value judgements about the aims or ideas put forward by any organisation. Instead, its role is to decide whether an organisation’s purposes fall within the legal definition of charity.
The Commission received a number of objections to the registration of LGBA as a charity. It carefully considered these as part of making its decision. In handling this application, the Commission has had regard to the Public Sector Equality Duty.
Registered charities fall under the Commission’s regulation, and their trustees must continuously meet the legal duties and responsibilities set down under charity law. A charity can promote the rights of one or more specific groups, but may not do so whilst demeaning or denigrating the rights of others, including on social media – and the Commission will consider taking regulatory action where that occurs.
The full decision, explaining the grounds for registering the organisation and the objections that were considered, can be found on GOV.UKK_"

@RufustheBadgeringReindeer

You are literally saying that It doesn’t surprise you that a ‘disrespectful’ child would receive death threats from Trans Rights Activists for a video that should have been ignored

Gotcha

Cross post.

And the second bingo card is well under way.

Donate to celebrate! LGBA are a great charity that will not confuse sex and gender! All the best for their campaigns!
Well done LGBA!

I have accessed various forums and social media over the last 6 or so years since become involved with the gender debate and I can in all honesty say that I have rarely seen GC feminists or their allies post with the same level of violence that the TRA supporters do.

Okay and I can say the opposite from my view

See we can do it too. The difference is you never provide any.

PeakTerf.com shows some examples. As well as the GC misogyny, ableism, etc pages on twitter. I'm off to work now so have a good day 🤍
transsloth · 21/04/2021 08:59

3 minutes to read and check evidence? And dismiss it as opinion?

Thankfully there are actual adults looking into this stuff.

Including the charity commission who have checked out LGB Alliance and found that they fit charitable status.

Helleofabore · 21/04/2021 09:01

And it doesn't surprise me when the GC community do the same thing and send insult, death threats and more to TRAs. Its a two way street.

Really. I will ask for evidence on that spurious claim. Although I notice you now use ‘GC community’ which is ever so far reaching and may be misapplied to people who are not GC as such but simply have one or two aligned points. Very interesting.

So I will narrow that down to, please provide me with evidence that GC feminists (and I don’t claim to be a feminist by the way) send death threats.

I shall ignore the completely irrelevant ‘insults’ you threw in there. There is simply no comparison between perceived insults and death threats.

Not even in the ‘proportionality’ ball park. But it speaks volumes to your intent.

You can say whatever you like.

@RufustheBadgeringReindeer

Evidence of that? Plus the whole.super sexuality thing is really homophobic and transphobic. Doesnt surprise me with the threats

It surprised me that a child and his mother would receive death threats for a video

It didn't surprise me, sadly.

I haven't heard that for years. Took me straight back to school 🤣

but now it's starting to feel like we're meeting up to discuss something important (THE LGBA ARE A REGISTERED CHARITY - BLOODY BRILLIANT!)

I know. Women have made so much progress in the last few years. It's amazing having watched some of these things start off as a vague idea and turn into something real, powerful and quite special ♥️

Ereshkigalangcleg · 21/04/2021 09:24

No I don't see how stating the fact trans women are women changes that.

It's not a fact, it's your belief.

Tibtom · 21/04/2021 09:25

I don't know. I think it has raised serious questions about whether Stonewall and others are meeting the standards set out by CC and reminded us that we can also complain. The more they have to set out the conditions for GC groups the more obvious it is that others are not meeting those same conditions.

R0wantrees · 21/04/2021 09:25

AbsintheFriends
I had the same thoughts. In group discussions (whether adults or children) there can be one or more who whilst adding little of value demand centre stage for whatever reason/s. It is not neccessary for others to indulge and we should always be mindful of the quieter, more considered contributers, whose important contributions get overlooked.
