Yes! Yes! Yes! I could weep, what a woman what a warrior and to you Graeme, I cannot tell you how much it means to have you and some other great man on our side. I can’t imagine what it’s been like to be you in the past year, believe you me we are very glad you are you!
Amen. Over the last few years I have really, profoundly come to appreciate the difference between those who saw the thing and either let the crowd do their thinking for them, or awkwardly sidled away trying not to think too hard about it, and those who saw something unjust and hurtful and stopped and shouted "HEY LOOK AT THIS UNJUST AND HURTFUL THING EVERYBODY!" and stubbornly kept saying it while the tomatoes got thrown at them.
Well done, Maya and everyone who's supported her efforts. I agree that tackling institutional capture is the next step, and it looks like it's already started with major players leaving the diversity champion scheme.
I admit my eyeballs got liquid too. That JK Rowling tweet had as much impact on some of us as the death of President Kennedy did for the baby boomers...I remember that moment like it was yesterday, where I was sitting, etc, and honestly I don't think I'd even heard the words 'gender critical' yet in my life. I just knew it was a volcanic explosion, I rt'd Jkr's tweet with "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" across the top. It staggers my mind to even try to conceptualize what might have been if JKR just said, 'nah, not getting involved' and sat the inning out. Thank heavens for people like her and Graham Linehan.
I wouldn't have known about Maya's case - or any of this craziness - had I not followed you, Glinner, when looking for the funnies on Twitter, as a newbie, last summer. Thank you for all you've done X
Well done Maya and thank you for fighting, the tide has turned. Hopefully there will be a grown up debate in the public eye, the more the TRA's are exposed the more foolish they look and their arguments turn to dust.
Hmmmm youtube ate my comment. Maya, if you come here, big tech won't let me express my gratitude about the huge difference you've made to women's rights in the UK, so THANK YOU for standing so bravely for all of us especially in the face of that ridiculous misogynistic first judgment.
THANK FUCK! I've been a nervous wreck waiting for this.
Me too! Yes yes yes!
Me too! Couldn't bear the thought of the appeal not going through
yup!

All power to Maya, her team, you three, all gender critical women and men who fought and won for the Rights of Women. Thank You. Thank you so much.
Yes! This has cheered me up after Starmergeddon yesterday
She's so calm. 😁😁

OFSTED and their grooming cohorts are next on my to-do list. The Mermaids-influenced mayhem is done.
Was OFSTED a previous diversity scheme champion?
I hope so. It's BOGOF day if they were! 🤣
I'm actually crying right now. Fucking fantastic news!

It's been one heck of a day. Really looking forward to the vid this evening. The live chats have already been going on for hours.

Whoop! Well done to everyone involved! 👏👏👏

Thank you Graham for all you have done to support and raise awareness. You are a hero too!
Well done Maya and all concerned. How did we get to the point that this even needed discussion!
Well done Maya and what a relief! Reading the judge's reasoning will be very interesting.
I KNEW IT!!! GREAT NEWS! thank fuck she had a great legal team arguing for fucking common sense..
Thank fuck for that. I cheered internally when that news flash came through. Sense prevails at last
Love. That. Shit 😎
