Maya Forstater hearing starts Monday

[MForstater]

Hi all,

Thank you so much for all your support: emotional, intellectual, financial, spiritual(!) reading the Mumsnet feminism board is where this all started for me!

The case starts tomorrow.

It is all online. If you want to watch you need to email the tribunal for a log in to [email protected]

It kicks off at 10am - the first bit will be "admin" between the judges and the lawyers working out the timings, issues and any reporting restrictions .

Once that is all sorted the judge and the panel will go away to read (probably for the rest of Monday and all of Tuesday)

I will most likely give evidence Wednesday and Thursday.

@tribunaltweets will be tweeting the whole thing (assuming they get permission from the judge)

Links to papers will go up throughout the case at www.hiyamaya.net.

Any other questions I am happy to answer them (apart from the ones where I have to say "that is for the tribunal to hear"...)

I have made a spectators guide with FAQs etc here

Lots of love

Maya

Cmon Maya

I’m another one that has been inspired by you to speak up more...my employer has been pretty hot on international women’s day this year.

Good luck Maya, you have opened my eyes to what is happening to women xxx

Maya, thank you for taking on this fight. You have inspired and given confidence to so many women. We are all with you.

Good luck from me too Maya. There are so many of us behind you.

Glad to see that there is clearly a lot of press interest.

Good luck Maya. And all of us.

It looks like the digging has paid off and Maya has reached her funding target! Go women! and the Russians and Christian fundamentalists

Fabulous! I dug a bit last night and it was getting close. So pleased the target has been met.

Good luck Maya. Donated again because...my (too many!)wedding anniversary... and carrots for the cause so much better than mangy chrysanths from DH. Your win will be my pressie this year so knock it out the park 🏏

Good luck Maya

The Spectators' Guide with FAQs is excellent.

Adjourned til Wednesday.

Why?

@AnneLovesGilbert Two reading days were in the schedule from the start.

@MForstater Whatever came of your case regarding the gender training material distributed to judges? I was very personally interested in that, but can't seem to find any updates.

@QuimReaper - on the ICO/ Judicial College/ FOI case we won one bit - information on the costs in the contract and lost on the rest, (other information about the contract with Gendered Intelligence) we have put in for permission to appeal.

I need to write an update!

Good luck this week. We stand with you.

People who plan to watch… have you had your link emailed to you yet? I’m still waiting and unsure whether to email them again.

Good luck today Maya x

@Signalbox

I messaged on Sunday and received no reply at all. I also want to watch.

Actually I've just found a response in my spam with the joining info.

Thanks for letting me know. I haven't found anything in the spam either so I have messaged again. Thanks!

Good luck for today Maya

Am I right in concluding that all of today so far has been spent discussing how to refer to the/ some of the employees involved so they don't get anyone talking about what they've done, on Twitter etc?

Yes. Funny how they want the protection they wouldn't afford to Maya or any other woman who doesn't share their beliefs.

Cowards. If they believe they are right they should stand by their accusations.

It's interesting how they cited a GC account as evidence for further protection. Makes you realise how tweeting and talking about a case before it's heard can affect the proceedings.

They are also not happy with Tribunal Tweets!
