Thank you to al who supported my legal costs through Crowd Justice. I am delighted to have won my claim of harassment against @ace_national . It cannot be acceptable that people like me, who believe, as most people do, that u can’t change sex, are subjected to harassment at work.

Jo points an inherent problem in arts funding, that ‘work is unwittingly scored according to how closely it matches the values of the funders’ rather than the public - Arts Cancel England | Josephine Bartosch | The Critic Magazine

Extraordinary yet another case going to court ! Isn’t it now clear that people can be gender critical and others can believe in gender identity & we can all just live with that?! I’ve supported this case for that very freedom. via @CrowdJustice

I'm staggered by this. Has it really come to this, that best sellers like @docstock ’s Material Girls are being effectively banned by libraries ? What are you going to do about it @biblioluke & @ace_national You've been sitting on your hands for 2 long & this is on your watch

I’ve had so much support I’m now 68% of the way to my target with 12 days to go - some of the comments on the Crowd Justice page are testament to the bullying in the arts. My case is the tip of the iceberg.

watch @SalmanRushdie talk about his new work, Knife. Named for many reasons, not least that words can cut through. He mentions the concerns I share with @Freedom_in_Arts , that right now the arts is actively censoring others

@stephenwhittle @Nichola09797176 The 1,284 people who contributed to my legal bill & helped me achieve justice when I was harassed due to my gender critical views were not naive, Stephen. They were generous, decent people. U might not agree with our views but there’s no need to insult us.

Thank you @PHMMcr for providing the venue for our board meeting. It's a great museum about people fighting for their rights. Go see the recently acquired Manchester suffragette banner. (The shop is also fab for feminist gifts!)
