Come and say Hi to me if you're at the Bristol Woman's place talk tonight.

[therealposieparker]

I've got curly brown bob length hair, too much make up, 5'1 and in all navy.

Please come and say Hello!!

[KnitFastDieWarm]

So gutted I missed out on tickets! Hope all goes well. A group called Sisterhood Uncut will be picketing apparently, because ‘trans women have been at the forefront of feminism’ for years

[KerplunkChampion]

Uncut?? 🍆

[OvaHere]

Is it this group?

If so back in 2015 they seemed to be all about domestic violence. Another TRA takeover since then perhaps?

[Fairyflaps]

It's a regional branch: Sisters Uncut Bristol, 'trans women have always been at the forefront of feminist activism' activists.

[NauticalDisaster]

I hope it goes well and the protesters are kept away/in line by the police. I wish I was going to be there. Solidarity in spirit.

[mamas12]

I so wish I was going, tickets sold out before I could buy them
Is it worth going to stand outside in support or is that just asking for it as they say

[KnitFastDieWarm]

Seems there’s a few of us around! I’d love to meet other local gender critical feminists, not sure how we could organise this without risk though
Just the fact I have to type the above is ridiculous, it’s like McCarthyism isn’t it?

[SteelyPip]

Hope it all goes well. I was too late for a ticket, but will be there in spirit.

[TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole]

'trans women have always been at the forefront of feminist activism' activists.

Ah. This will be the same transwomen who actually started the Stonewall riots, then?

[Melamin]

KnitFastDieWarm Superb name

I would love to meet people when there is a meeting near to me. It not an unreasonable aspiration to be able to meet like minded people for entirely legal purposes. Yet it is ridiculously difficult.

[DistaffSide]

I'm sitting in front of you! Hi!

[KnitFastDieWarm]

ooh how’s it going? Where there many protesters?

[LefkosiaTigers]

Ooh, would love to know what it's like! Who are the speakers?

[doricgirl]

Gutted I couldn’t get tickets for this would love to hear how it goes

[therealposieparker]

There will be some more nearby.

[TheRagingGirl]

I’m sorry I missed meeting you @therealpisieparker and @distaffside

I was dashing from Work (an hour away) and bumped into a colleague also coming to the meeting (we exchanged cryptic “Are you here for a certain feminist meeting?” At Bristol Temple Meads. Had to dash just after 9:30 to get my train home.

But it was a great meeting wasn’t it? It took me back to the late 70s/80s when I was optimistic about change for the better.

I was struck by how lucid, logical and reasonable all the speakers were. And their talks were evidence-based and grounded in the material realities of women’s lived experiences in our sexed bodies.

I particularly liked (and was heartened by) the Welsh politician who reassured us that most people think the TRAs’ demands are, as she put it, “bonkers.”

[therealposieparker]

I did the roaming mic. Raging.

[TheRagingGirl]

You were great! It was very fair, efficient, and you are fast & nimble!
