This is incredibly shoddy work @TRF @hugo_greenhalgh @rachelmsavage @antozappulla and does not stand up the @Reuters principles of integrity, independence, and freedom from bias

My case is not "pushing back against transgender rights" it is case about belief discrimination.

It is about the right of people not to be discriminated against at work & by service providers for holding or not holding a belief about the nature of sex and gender identity.
Adding up some numbers in the public domain is not much of an investigation.

It is the work of a pocket calculator and 15 minutes.

The rest of the time was spent looking for the fabled shady right wing money... none was found
“Basically, money is being used to bully" says Clara Barker

Is Thompson Reuters saying that women like me, @BluskyeAllison @8RosarioSanchez are bullying the institutions that discriminated against us by having the temerity to raise money to hire lawyers ?
“It certainly feels like there (are) deeper pockets for those challenging our rights than those trying to protect our rights” says Clara .

The average donation to my crowd funder is £27
Clifford Chance is just one of the magic circle law firms with deep pockets that has signed up to give pro bono legal support to strategic litigation for trans rights cases - for example the 'X' passports case. https://t.co/DPMcEXsiPy
Another one, Dentons wrote a report advising campaigners on how they should be secretive in their lobbying to change the law so that children can change their legal sex without the involvement of medical professionals or parents https://t.co/uSQHeLYaFl
How did Dentons and the transgender organisations get together... there was a matchmaker.

That would be.... Thompson Reuters Foundation
As @GlenTarman then head of the Trust Law, the pro bono law programme of the Thompson Reuters Foundation said "We hope this report will be a powerful tool for activists and NGOs working to advance the rights of trans
youth across Europe and beyond."

This takes a particular view of "rights of trans youth".

The judges in the case of Keira Bell v Tavistock were of course also considering rights of these children

The right not have experimental medical treatment w life long consequence at an age when they cannot weigh these
Trust law says that since they launched ten years ago they have generated the equivalent of $172 million in free legal assistance to NGOs and social enterprises "on the frontlines of social change"

I doubt any of that went to gender critical feminists.
So @TRFdotORG an organisation with the power to raise millions in donated legal time from the worlds biggest lawfirms is larping as @Reuters the trusted news agency to put the boot into a bunch of grassroots women raising funds by putting together their £20's on payday.
It even managed to get @msjenniferjames crowdfunder taken down by @gofundme for "hate"

This is one that has been running since January 2018.

What hate did gofundme only notice after 2 years when Reuters flexed its muscles?

Clara Barker was right “Basically, money is being used to bully"

This is not news reporting.

It is propaganda by an organisation that is committed to one side of the debate.

Reuters should be ashamed.
