Good news if true indeed.

I cannot however find any evidence further afield, does anyone get the GLP newsletter? that seems to be where this is from.

A full quote supplied in the reddit thread says:

"Dear Friend
We’ve been working together to stand up for trans rights, so I thought you’d like to hear how Good Law Project’s work in this area is going to evolve.
In 2025 we’ll be shifting our focus. Instead of funding or taking on legal cases ourselves, we’ll be supporting a trans and queer organisation with a three-year funding commitment. We’ve thought long and hard about the best way to keep fighting for trans rights and lives, and we feel that this is the moment for us to put our weight behind an organisation led by trans people.
It’s getting harder and harder to win rights for the trans community through the courts, and it doesn’t feel right to keep asking the community and its allies to carry on contributing to the enormous costs of this increasingly difficult litigation.
We’re incredibly proud of the work we’ve done in this space over the last five years. We’ll keep acting as allies, speaking out when we can make a meaningful contribution to the debate and supporting the tireless work of others standing up for trans rights. But for now, at least, we’ll be focusing our legal campaigns elsewhere.
We still have important work to do between now and the end of the year. In November we’ll be making sure the voices and experiences of trans people are heard, when a case affecting the freedoms they have relied on for 20 years is heard in the Supreme Court.
And through our colleagues at Good Law Practice we’ll carry on supporting The Clare Project to get answers at inquest about the tragic loss of a trans person’s life.
Good Law Project only exists because of the amazing support of people like you. I hope you’ll keep working with us as we keep holding power to account.
In solidarity,
Jo, Good Law Project"

They all seem quite depressed on that Reddit thread. I wonder if at some point we'll settle into an equilibrium where the remaining followers of transgenderism accept third spaces as fair and everyone else tries not to misgender them too much.

I mean the GLP loses most of the cases it brings so it's doing the trans cause a favour.

FOJN · 03/09/2024 18:45

They've spent the last 5 years telling trans people everyone hates them and that they are at high risk of suicide and now they're effectively abandoning them. They're disgusting.

IMO TGL are grifting psychopaths, the fox killer might have hoped his name would go down in the history books as a major player in a new "civil rights" movement and now that looks less likely he's backing away before the shit sticks.

So they have realised that focusing on this issue has led to a massive decline in donations and its no longer a worthwhile grift because its no longer covering its costs.

This is a commercial decision, which is also based on the likelihood of winning a case.

There is no ground or money to be made with this any more.

The gravy train has come to a shuddering halt.

Interesting. Wonder what they'll support now?

Whats the latest bandwagon in town that will attract a lot of donations?

Something to do with Palestine maybe?

Grammarnut · 03/09/2024 19:18

So it's getting harder to deprive women of their sex-based rights in favour of privileges for transwomen. Good.

Weel done to whomever managed to archive this before it went:

Someone should mention that on the Reddit link…

Nero went down in history, too.

I don't understand where the money for a '3 year funding commitment' for the other organisation comes from. I didn't think the Good Law Project was profit making? They crowd funded to pay for legal cases which (in the trans area) they mainly lost. So what do they mean?

Chersfrozenface · 03/09/2024 20:21

"...we’ll be supporting a trans and queer organisation with a three-year funding commitment."

If true

  1. which organisation?
  2. how much funding?

I would also be interested to know this.

I'll look forward to the peace and quiet then...

We’re not making enough money out of you, and the optics are bad. Bye. »

I think where trans people are concerned Starmer is worse. Sunak was a horrible PM and a nasty person, but I never got the sense that he actually hated trans people (any more than any other minority or disadvantaged group) whereas Starmer started his career promoting an anti LGBTQ+ church and has been very very suss, if not down right anti trans, ever since.

For me Sunak saw a political and financial benefit to the anti trans rhetoric, whereas Starmer hates us.

It's funny how Starmer is distrusted both there and here for similar but opposite reasons.

TorghunKhan · 04/09/2024 07:16

It’s as if trans people don’t need any cases winning, given they have all the protections in the world.
what they don’t need is mad special care and exceptions from rules.
