YOU'VE LEFT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE MORE VULNERABLE. WELL, WE HOPE YOU LIARS, CHEATS, MORAL FRAUDS AND CHARLATANS CAN SLEEP IN YOUR BEDS WHILST TRANSGENDER PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISHNESS YOU B*STARDS!

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 17

However, to those people who liked us, pretended to be our friends and though that a retweet would do - YOU ARE NO FRIENDS OF THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY. YOU ARE WORSE THAN THE VILE TRANSPHOBES... IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU, NEVER ABOUT US - YOU STIFLED US AND NOW BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GIVE ANYTHING!

You want more Brianna Ghey stories and you want to silence good people who care and whose fundraising was legitimate and met all standards. YOU WANT TRANS BLOOD, YOU ARE MURDERERS AND VERMIN!

So, a lot of people pushed us WAY too far on Twitter on Saturday and as a result we will no longer be there.
We'd like to state the following:
To those who trolled our fundraiser and made chuffed.org take it down - F YOU! You have made the UK an unsafe country for Transgender people!

chuffed.org/project/1065... - currently at £215 after a fantastic mega donation by a lovely friend who has fought against racism, bigotry, homophobia, ableism and transphobia. Christine, you know who you are and you are a legend! Many, many thanks for the £200 donation!

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 15

Friday 1st March - St. David's Day and also the date when we announce the venue for our #FootballvTransphobia charity match. It's in Birmingham and we hope to have two teams sorted soon as well. If you'd like to play (all genders welcome) then drop a comment or DM.

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 12

Thank you very much for taking the time to read through this, please donate if you can and if you can retweet to your followers and mention us to your families and friends that would be truly fantastic!

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 12

You can donate via PayPal or Stripe and any amount is warmly welcome - if we get £5000 then we'll proceed towards getting a trial arranged but if not then donations will either be refunded or given to the Brianna Ghey Piece Of Mind Charity, but only at the behest of the donor.

We understand that times are tough and money is tight, but any donation received through our Chuffed fundraiser is one step closer to getting Darren Grimes in HM Courts to answer for his appalling behaviour which could even see him follow fellow troll Alex Belfield behind bars.

Darren knew very well that when he made the comment it would alarm and upset those close to Brianna Ghey, so close to the anniversary of that sad day when two evil teenagers took Brianna away from the world. He cannot be allowed to hide behind his computer screen any longer!

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 12

The fact Darren thinks it's funny to laugh at a dead child says a lot about him. He is an evil 'man' aged 30 who is okay with mocking the death of a young Trans person. This behaviour cannot ever be accepted and has to be stamped out for the safety of the Transgender community.

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 12

We are not doing this because we dislike Darren's politics - we are doing it because his post of Wednesday 7th February at 12:26: twitter.com/darrengrimes... is transphobic, hateful and constitutes a malicious communication. These IOO (in our opinion) constitute breaking the law.

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 12

We've set an interim amount of £5000 which we hope to raise via donations - this will at least get us through the 'pre-amble' such as talking with Solicitors and Barristers about this case, with the hope that the CPS will allow the case to proceed to HM Courts in the future.

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 12

Well, it's time to announce that we are exploring the possibility of legal action against Darren Grimes for his sickening transphobic attack on #BriannaGhey: chuffed.org/project/1065... This is what we intend to do, how much we will hopefully raise - but we will need your help.

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 10

Can very much relate to this, especially with the current 'trend' in the UK of disrespecting and disregarding trans people - sadly by our 'PM' and many right-wing trolls as well. We're doing a lot to change people's minds at WOKEN and are putting on an event for Brianna Ghey (RIP) in May.

If we can reach £5000 then that would be wonderful, and no matter how much you give we are eternally grateful to you all - Many Thanks!

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 9

The best thing of all is that you also get a say in how WOKEN is run and how we should operate; not a fan of our logo? Tell us and we can change it. Do you have ideas to help us grow and develop? Again, tell us and we'll listen to your ideas and change where we can.

If we achieve this, Phase Three will see us open a dedicated office and employ staff who can then travel to new and existing woke businesses in order that their business can be highlighted and that they continue to meet our high standards.

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 9

Phase Two is purchasing computer servers for our business in order that WOKEN can grow and develop its online presence. We will require at least two high end SSD servers and have been quoted a price of £3500 each. Not cheap, but definitely essential if WOKEN is to thrive online.

However, this is where we need you to help us; Phase One of our operations is being funded away from ko-fi.com and this will be the launch of our website in late March (Monday 25th March is our estimated launch date) but we will need help with Phase Two:

Ko-fi | Donations and Memberships from fans for the price of a coffee. No fee on Donations

Accept donations with no fees! Ko-fi also lets you sell Memberships, Commissions and Shop items

Does the Business operate 'Safe Spaces' for Staff/ Customers? Does the Business support Staff and Customers with Mental Health issues?
Does the Business actively support the fight against Social Injustices?

These and many more criteria will be crucial in determining the Wokeness of a Business.

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 9

Factors will include, but are not limited to:
Environmental Awareness (Low Carbon Footprints/Carbon Negative)
Number of LGBTQIA Staff employed
Number of Ethnic Staff employed
How pro-Vegan the Business in question is

WeAreWoken @wearewoken.bsky.social · Feb 9

WOKEN will also work with smaller businesses and one/two person businesses in order to educate and train them into improving their rating and will also list non-woke and non-compliant workplaces as well.
