1/ Apparently the Government will seek to reform crowdfunding & not a moment too soon. It looks like they have the antics of a certain fox worrying QC in their sights.
2/ In the meantime, know that there is huge support for women seeking to protect our sex-based rights. But these crowdfunds need to be planned & credible — not because we’re likely to abuse them, but because sadly we know we will be attacked.
3/ I suggest that you should have lawyers in place who back the crowdfund & can sign off on it. Be clear about how much money is needed. Choose a platform that you can challenge if it pulls your page down. Some platforms wont permit fundraising to defend certain criminal cases.
4/Times are changing. In the light of the EHRC’s confirmation that ‘gender critical‘ beliefs — belief that biological sex is not a feeling but a reality — are protected.
It would be a very foolish UK crowdfund platform that pulled down a properly designed GC crowdfund.

1/ BREAKING: As the LGBTQ+‘s stranglehold on British politics is rightly being weakened, the death rattle of these orgs that have blighted our politics are lashing out wildly & desperately. Mermaids & Others have launched legal action to remove @ALLIANCELGB’s charitable status.
2/ Just let that sink in. During so called Pride month assorted LGBTQ+ orgs, who combined receive millions of taxpayer money have the barefaced cheek to crowdfund to prevent LGB people having a dedicated organisation. Whatever good @GoodLawProject does, this is disgraceful.
3/ The silver lining is that, in my opinion, this vexatious & mendacious lawsuit will fail, because our democracy will not stand for this sinister & Orwellian manoeuvre.
1/ Adolescence is defined by the UN & WHO as the period between 10 - 19 yrs. The age of consent is 16 yrs in the UK. Pledging to lower the age of consent to begin at adolescence is therefore a pledge to lower the age of consent to 10 yrs, legalising child sex.
2/ LGBTQ+ orgs that have signed a declaration to lower the age of consent to 10 yrs should face scrutiny. This isn’t homophobic. These orgs are stakeholders with influence across society. If legalising child sex is part of their value system, we need to know & take action.
3/ LGBTQ+ orgs & their supporters who ignore red flags about child safeguarding & cry homophobia are helping to create the most dangerous climate for children. It will act as be a beacon for child sex offenders who will calculate that their antics will be hidden by politics.
Children suffering mental health problems need to be identified & supported. Children experiencing gender dysphoria fall into this category. The presumption must be that parents are notified & tasked with helping their child; without condoning abusive parenting or practices.
This dilemma is as a result of children being ‘affirmed’ as transgender at school & socially transitioned, all without the knowledge of their parents. What follows will be puberty blockers & a lifetime of medication & surgery.
There are dangers that parents will react poorly to being informed that their child may be experiencing gender dysphoria; there may be homophobic parents, but the alternative is to leave vulnerable children at the mercy of trans ideologues & social media.
2/ When Foucault's philosophical beliefs jumped like a virus from gender studies departments and queer theory courses, to capture lesbian & gay politics and the modern LGBTQ movement, too many remained silent - and just look where we are now.
2/ The gender identity politics beloved of @MrJohnNicolson are deeply cynical & sinister.
His attempt to conflate racism, misogyny & homophobia to justify his rant about people like me, should fool no one. It is a barefaced manipulation.
3/ As a black lesbian, lawyer & survivor of male sexual violence, I can attest to the appalling levels of racist, sexist & homophobic abuse meted out to lesbians who object to gender identity politics. As black lesbians, we are told to be thankful that we are regarded as women.
Hello, would people please add below the Gender Critical crowdfunds that have yet to reach their fundraising target?
1/ BREAKING: I have now formally closed my crowdfund to donations. My crowdfund page will remain open to view & I will continue to post updates and documents to it.
I raised £150,975.00 in 34 days, with an average donation of £27.00. People donated from around the world.
2/ The comments that were left are inspiring. If you haven't already, read through them. They will pep you up if you're ever feeling down & isolated about this struggle. Sadly there was no safe way to keep the comments open & donations closed.
