  1. > A UK trans activist group, Bash Back, has published a leaked list of donors to the Free Speech Union, drawing renewed scrutiny to the financial backing behind legal and crowdfunding campaigns connected to prominent anti-trans figures.

  2. jfc who has the time, money and energy to donate to anything anti trans? what a buch of hateful miserable fucks.

  3. UK trans activist group Bash Back has released leaked donor data from the Free Speech Union, revealing financial backing for legal campaigns tied to prominent anti-trans figures. The disclosures include large contributions from wealthy individuals and public personalities, prompting debate over transparency, privacy, and the role of money in amplifying anti-trans rhetoric. The Free Speech Union has not publicly responded to the leak.

    The Free Speech Union was founded in 2020 by Toby Young and describes its mission as defending freedom of expression for individuals who face professional or legal consequences over controversial speech. Critics have long argued that the group disproportionately focuses on defending gender-critical and anti-trans voices

    Free Speech Union=Hate Group. Got it! They should really change the name. It doesn’t fit their agenda.

  6. There is an inability within the trans movement to tell the difference between dissent and hate. The current conversation is not healthy.

    Let’s be clear most LGBTQ+ groups, the main ones, don’t care. Let me go further. Palestine is anti lgbtq+ and their flag was used in hate crimes. Venezuela government like China and Russia is extremely hostile towards LGBTQ+.

    You don’t have to support this while being an activists. There are genocides happening everywhere so why support causes from groups that want you dead?

  8. This will have the opposite effect to what Bash Back desires. More people will contribute to the Free Speech Union as no one is embarrassed by this being hacked, and Bash Back will continue to escalate towards terrorism.

    For those who haven’t heard of this group before they’ve already attacked the offices of two MPs, and they’re escalating, don’t assume it’s a well-meaning group. I would expect they’ll carry out physical attacks on people in the next year or so.

    The misinformation that Toby Young has provided is actually insane and all these people get away with it. Mind boggles me.
