The filmmakers of 'Adult Human Female' are taking UCU to tribunal.

I'll try to find an archive copy.

I think it is just UCU although it will be interesting to see any correspondence between UCU (and UCU Edinburgh) and the university.

Looking forward to the witness list

I've got my login! [Sets up deckchair next to SidewaysOtter.]

I've got my login too (though sadly I won't actually be able to watch much of it).

I've just emailed. Looking forward to this, the testimonies are usually pretty gobsmacking to witness live! Happy to report back on here.

I went to watch this film when they screened it in London, with the panel. It felt pretty factual to me, it's incredible the protests around it!

I've got my log in

Likely to be Alliance Defending Freedom or some other similar US Conservative Christian org with very deep pockets and interest in political lobbying in UK and Europe to roll back LGBT rights and abortion rights etc.

Why would they want to show a film that opposes homophobia then?
Think you've gotten mixed up even when you're just guessing things!

😂 What's the Mumsnet saying .."Are you on glue?!"

Try doing a survey of gay people and see who supports that film, you won't find many.

Unless perhaps you contact the LGB Alliance to do one of their special fabricated surveys 😄

Or it could be one of my secretive right-wing organisations.

😂 You founded a few then did you?

oooh here we go again, here comes the unsubstantiated accusations, force-teaming and smearing committee! Hurrah!

'fabricated surveys' 😂I feel like they're dialling it in these days @nutmeg7

From a poster who is likely nowhere near the UK yet is so horrified by feminist women speaking on this little corner of the internet. 😂

Absolutely love the idea that some posters desperately need a survey of popular opinion to determine what is homophobic! Bizarre.

Same-sex-attracted people being told they're actually straight if they don't feel like they conform to the sex role expectations of their sex.

It's a tough one, might need to phone a friend...

Not familiar with British conspiracy theories then?

I’m WFH tomorrow, this will be ideal
background music.
Thanks for the link.

could some kind mumsnetter repost the tribunal tweets here as I'll be abroad and won't be able to watch live

Oh no! Have we been infiltrated by more mega rich religious Nazis again? How many of them has it been this week? Where's my cheque?

Haha, just clocked your username, ok 😄.

It's all a bit shady isn't it...funded by a secretive organisation that would prefer to stay in the background 🕵️🤔.

These mega rich religious Nazis have been paying vast sums to the UK GCRF movement. Unfortunately, the only account that they know is owned by @BoiledBeetle Boily is desperate to distribute the funds to the witches but as she only knows us by our Mumsnet usernames, she is kindly holding these funds in an escrow account.

@TuftonStreet i beg to differ regarding the financial controller distributing our right wing nazi Christian funds. <munches on a box of tunnocks teacakes>

<burps>

3 boxes of Tunnocks dark chocolate teacakes each week and your secret is safe with me.

Oddity in my email with the link: the instruction at the bottom "Please delete this email once your hearing is complete." As a pathological rule-follower I daresay I will even if I continue to think this utterly without sense, but out of curiosity...can anyone think of a good reason for the request? Or even of a reason that anybody ever thought was a good reason?

Wonder if the same link would get you in to a future tribunal? Seems unlikely though?
