god the Allison Bailey court case is going so badly (for her) and it's hilarious.
Princess Emily
for the uninitiated: Allison Bailey is a barrister who is also a huge TERF piece of shit
Princess Emily
and raised a shit ton of money from other terfs to sue Stonewall
Princess Emily
over supposed discrimination as her job as a barrister
Princess Emily
she says that after coming out as a hateful terrible person and actively discriminating against trans people, she received less job offers and that's discrimination
Princess Emily
here are the three facts that have been established so far:
Princess Emily
- Allison set herself up in the system that clerks use to assign cases as Away, and so was not contacted for work because she was away
Princess Emily
she says that they know to contact her anyway and the fact they didn't is discrimination
Princess Emily
- there was an overall decline in case numbers, likely due to covid, meaning less work to go around
Princess Emily
despite this she was offered work, but DECLINED TO TAKE THE CASES because she felt they were beneath her
Princess Emily
she says that purposely denied her "quality" work, and refused to entertain that she might have to "settle" for "lesser" worth because of a lack in cases
Princess Emily
- she names one clerk in particular as discriminatory against her, even though that clerk gave her her biggest case within the time period she's claiming
Princess Emily
when asked to clarify how that works she said "it doesn't count"
Princess Emily
JKR gave this lady like a hundred thou prolly,
Princess Emily
amazing
BattroidBattery
sadly even when these people make themselves look like idiots they're still probably raking it in from the even bigger idiots who support them out of political solidarity
Princess Emily
oh, yeah
Princess Emily
like objectively this is a laughing stock
Princess Emily
but the TERFs are literally quoting bits of it and going "LOOK AT HOW SHE'S CASTING THE LIGHT ON THIS"
Princess Emily
like the fuck y'all smoking?
