I have sent a request but haven't had anything back yet. Hopefully nearer the time.

God it's a bit of a shambles isn't it. Hopefully they'll pick up speed or they won't finish at this rate!

Oh this is very awkward!

What's happening?!

I'm still trying to work and look at the thread

No, I'm in now! Who are we now trying to raise by phone?

Kate Barker can't seem to log in or speak. The poor judge is having to mute everyone and manage everything. She needs an assistant to do this.

Meanwhile someone called Griffiths in a bright red top and possibly an inflammatory T-shirt is looming in and out of view and causing a distraction. And thus another day in the courtroom passes...

She was logged in and muted. Now she's not even logged in. How will they all keep calm. I would be panicking right now.

Don't worry. This will be the light entertainment bit when they make the film of the Gender Wars.

Are they saying the dictionary definition of a woman is offensive? Don't call that spade, a spade. Someone should say if they are mortally offended by the word Stonewall.

They need a separate facilitator to the Court Clerk to manage the tech, it's the only way.

Thanks for the updates.

I know that EJ Goodman has a decent reputation; but she really has to get a grip on this and get the bloody hearing resourced and managed properly. She's the Chair.

EJ Goodman deserves a large glass or cup of her choice this evening, she must be exasperated

Had to step out. What is Kate Barker witnessing?

Why isn’t Griffiths switching her camera off, it’s so annoying and rude!
and can the judge not switch it off for her?
Also while I’m whingeing why haven’t we for the refresh button back on here
🤬

What does the red t-shirt say?

Thank you Griffiths!

And anyone deliberately disrupting the hearing is doing so because they don’t want us to hear what’s said. In other words to get it taken to a private hearing. That’s not GC people - we want to hear it.

She's from LGB Alliance

I have an adult human female tshirt, so normally I would be with you. But I think in this context, in a live tribunal, given the issues that tribunal will be addressing, it's clearly intended as political messaging. If I were chairing I would have something to say about it, too.

Who is Martin Reuby?

Tribunal member.

There's someone there with a she/her by their name. Perhaps they could say something about that too.

I love Martin Reuby.

Lay member on the tribunal panel. They support the judge in decision making. Either with employer or employee (Trade Union etc) expertise.

There are a couple of twonks who have included their dopey pronouns.

It’s ridiculous that the judge seems to be having to do all the technical stuff. What an absolute shambles.
