For anyone interested there is a debate about the new legislation and gender this Wednesday evening in South London

Miranda Yardley and the Julia Long are speakers. I will definitely be attending so hope to see a few of you there.

'natacha Kennedy has blocked "a terf", "as I do with all terfs"'-- they also need to look up the meaning of bigot.

I'm a number of countries away, but fuck me - the language on that page Assigned - talk about getting people wound up for violence! Suggesting that it's racist facists that are going to a hate rally, not a group of women wanting to discuss a law change that affects them!

The two speakers have a history of launching absolutely unwarranted campaigns of violent harrassment against women of trans experience

Surely this is some kind of libel?

Datun · 13/09/2017 17:34

Not.

Today 17:19 busyboysmum

That facebook page clearly shows why we must fight against having such aggressive violent people in women's private spaces. They are terrifying in their hatred of women. OMG. I don't think the liberal supporters of the trans movement can know how much they hate women. Surely.

Feminists from across the country have offered to pay for the beefiest, hardest bouncers...

To protect misogynistic men.

From feminists.

That Facebook protest event linked above is astonishing (some of it possibly libellous). I used to think that "transcult" was a pretty harsh term but this is mind control:

BUT please don't forget to highlight that there is NO DEBATE when it comes to the lives and experiences of the trans community - questioning and theorising over the validity or reality of lived experience IS VIOLENCE, is TRANSPHOBIA and is not acceptable.

Transmisogny can never be legitamised or tolerated as 'debate',

This is violence. We know that when Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs) speak, they enact, encourage and condone violence against women of trans experience, transfeminine people and those who experience transmisogny.

Not included the libelly bit for obvious reasons. Also noticed that stonewalls natacha Kennedy has blocked "a terf", "as I do with all terfs". Seen quite a bit of this, particularly Lewisham lgbt. Is this the only way to keep your belief, to cut out all different opinions? A bit culty, dare I say

So yy, enjoy and stay safe and please tell us what terf chants sound like

That facebook page is something else! What a bunch of angry people...and they claim we are aggressive!
If I lived near London I would come. Sounds like it will be a good event.

ArcheryAnnie · 13/09/2017 17:10

That facebook post, explicitly lying about the organisers, and explicitly trying to whip up anger against those who want to meet - what wankers they are.

StatisticallyChallenged · 13/09/2017 17:06

Also miles away, but I hope you are all able to have the discussion you want (and need!) to have without dealing with too much crap.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 13/09/2017 16:56

Oh, I thought they were the secret code words, Datun.

FerretsAreFeminists · 13/09/2017 16:47

Nowhere near London so I won't be there but keep us updated. And please stay safe Flowers

Datun · 13/09/2017 16:44

So, so far it's vagina, cunt, me pencils and macaroon?

(Snort. There's one helluva cissexist limerick in there somewhere).

Can't wait.

This meeting was barred from its initial venue after threats from trans activists. A major change to UK law must be discussed.

CuntAmongstThePigeons · 13/09/2017 14:46

See everyone at Speakers Corner later. I can't wait!!! Smile

Speaker's Corner is very apt. Love it!

TheWeeWitch · 13/09/2017 13:43

Agree with you on every point @ArcheryAnnie. Have they never fucking heard of Bowie?!

TheWeeWitch · 13/09/2017 13:41

Yes. Glosswitch has just retweeted the details via Miranda.

Please keep us posted!

Poppyred85 · 13/09/2017 13:38

Nowhere near London otherwise I'd go but please keep us posted here if possible.

JigglyTuff

Great. I'm in.

JigglyTuff · 13/09/2017 12:59

They're scared because they think they'll be shown up for the bunch of over-privileged narcissists they actually are. What an absolute luxury to believe you can identify your way out of gendered oppression. Oh wait - you can't! which is one of Morgan's complaints.

Meeting tonight is going ahead. Meet at Speaker's Corner, Hyde Park at 7pm and proceed to the venue from there.

MacaroonMama · 13/09/2017 12:55

"Nazis and TERFs" bunched together. Why can they not see we just want to talk about it???!!! Why is that so scary?

I am afraid I won't be able to go now - DH cannot get back from work in time and I can't get anyone to babysit. Sorry all. Please stay safe and feedback if you can. Good luck x
