as soon as i saw the woman from 'reclaim the(se) streets' saying that all genders were welcome it was obvious where it was heading - and the dumb woke press lap it up.

Nobody reading in the mainstream press will see the nuances in this, and I can’t blame them, it gets ridiculously complicated. This is why pronouns and names matter. We need to know who we’re talking to and who we’re talking about.

My sister is part of sisters uncut! She is always sharing stuff from them on social media and going to their events. ☹️We disagree about a lot of things and try not to talk about this issue and it usually doesn’t go well and we don’t want properly fall out about it for the sake of our mum. But this is just too much! It’s so hard to stay silent with all this going on. She doesn’t know that I know about sisters uncut. I don’t think they have been mentioned by name between us. I just remember her referring to her feminist group and then seeing all the stuff she shares on social media. She is very much anti capitalist, communist/anarchist, BLM, defund police, prison abolitionist, de criminalise sex trade. So I think she came to them from that angle and just took the trans stuff along with it. She really doesn’t like to discuss the trans stuff when inbreing it up. Which had only been a couple of times. I watch the Netflix do Disclosure on her request to try and change my pony of view. Should I bring it up again. I think this group in so dangerous. I have a daughter and I really worry about her future if sex as a protected category is not prioritises over gender identity! That’s my main concern. Not hatred of trans people. I don’t know what to do! I want to turn as many people away from this organisation as I can and the only person in know that supports it is my own sister! She is also very in to new age spirituality, something which we also come to blows about!😂 I think that mind set makes people more susceptible to falling for this dangerous ideology. Thoughts?

I agree they are a menace. But I still think the police handled them appallingly.

Thank you for getting in touch.

We take reports of pages seriously, dealing with these on a case-by-case basis for the benefit of all parties. JustGiving Crowdfunding is all about positive community action and largely works on the basis of trust between the Crowdfunder and those who want to donate to the cause.

Please be assured that we are reviewing this Crowdfunding page internally, and we are currently working with 'Reclaim These Streets' direct to ensure the page story and their intentions are clear - the funds from this page are currently being held safely.

We will take any necessary action once this has been thoroughly reviewed.

Also just so you know, our Crowdfunding platform can be used to raise funds for multiple charities and causes. However, because it is mainly used to help people crowdfund for local projects, I'm afraid it's not possible to add Gift Aid to any crowdfunding donations, as the facility to collect the data required from donors to make a Gift Aid claim to HMRC is not built into the Crowdfunding donation process, as the organisation would need to use our charity fundraising product and be registered as a charity.

If you have made a donation to this page and would now like to request a refund, please could you send us your donation reference number and donation amount in reply to this email so we can look in to this for you.

Thanks again for taking the time to write to us with your concerns. If you have any further questions at all, please get back in touch.

Thanks,

Hannah
