Be braver today than you were yesterday

Goosebumps, anyone?!

Having been disappointed at flippin cloud coverage spoiling the partial eclipse this news has improved my mood immeasurably.

Congratulations Maya 👏

Goosebumps AND tears for me. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and happiness.

I'm so thrilled and relieved. Congratulations Maya and thank you.

@DancesWithTortoises

This should be allowed on the main boards but the moaning minnies will report and report until it's moved. Why do they hate women so much that they want to silence them?
Phrase it as an AIBU and MNHQ might let it stand, OP.

Excellent news. What was it like recording that calm, dignified statement I wonder, when you must be bursting with emotion. Thank you Maya, I'm sorry you were put through that ordeal.

GU24Mum · 10/06/2021 11:20

Amazing news - yet tinged with the sadness and incredulity of how much free speech has been compromised to be here in the first place.

Just sent it to my nearly 17 year old daughter too - so important for her generation not to lose their identity because of misguided "nice" people who don't get the damage this is causing.

IvySquirrel · 10/06/2021 11:21

Fab-u-lous!!!

Fantastic news!

Fantastic news! Thank you for standing up for us Maya.

@Bryonyshcmyony

I am delighted

Emma Barnett discussing it on Women Hour and giving the last word to a transwoman Brew

I think that was meant to present a balance. Some of it was fair enough, but the idea that 'both sides' are shouting at each other not so much.

Women aren't shouting abuse outside trans rights meetings, calling people Nazis, threatening them with rape and murder.

gimmiesomethingfast · 10/06/2021 11:31

I'm so incredibly happy! Joyous!

Jigglywobbly · 10/06/2021 11:32

Fantastic news!!

SprayedWithDettol · 10/06/2021 11:34

What a bloody wonderful woman she is! Thank you Maya.

DifficultBloodyWoman · 10/06/2021 11:35

Thank you, Maya.

You didn’t ask to be put in this position but you have achieved a tremendous amount fair women’s rights.

I have a sneaky feeling that, in a hundred years time, your name will be mentioned along with the Pankhursts and Emily Davison. 💐

SunnyintheSun · 10/06/2021 11:35

Thank you from NZ Maya!! You are a legend.

IsThePopeCatholic · 10/06/2021 11:36

What a relief. Maya is a true champion of human rights.

HandsOffMyRights · 10/06/2021 11:36

Thank you Maya. I am so emotional right now.

Victory for Maya!

Fantastic. Such a relief for Maya too. How brave she is/has been Flowers

MrsOvertonsWindow · 10/06/2021 11:40

That statement from Glinner is magnificent:
Maya is one of a handful of unbelievably brave and principled people, almost all of them women, who have taken the burden of our human rights upon their shoulders and carried the fight to the media and through the courts. No one who hasn’t been through it can imagine the constant stress, the harassment, the lies and abuse these women face, not to mention the colossal weight of responsibility and the knowledge of what this means for free speech .
Thank you Maya - and also thank you @Glinner - I know that you are one of the men who has also sacrificed a lot for this struggle.
