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.

Now being reported in the Sun and the metro. They seem to think TERF is the name of our group. I think we need to take back the dialogue and have a name of our own.

There is the obvious but that seems to be quite a Mumsnet thing maybe we need something broader?

Women Against Gender?

I can't link the video here as it was someone's personal mobile footage that they shared on Facebook, but it was covered very favourably by Christina Patterson and Matthew Syed on "in the papers" last night, on sky news.

Managed to squish this attack, prisons, sports and young children all into a small segment, and both of them were on side!

Oh thanks. Now I understand (sort of). Denial is a river Egypt and all that.

Although the shallow end of this kind of liberal left attitude comes out frequently on MN if anyone admits to not voting Brexit or voting conservative or mentioning a concern regarding immigration, or in any other way having a 'taboo' opinion. Their views are not engaged with, they are personally vilified and denounced as objectionable and not worthy of speaking to with the respect normally owed to others. This is in part why the recent elections have had unpredictable results; people are afraid to admit to views that are 'off message' because it leads to personal attack.

When you raise a generation in this belief, I can see why this tips into 'you hold an offensive off message view/I don't need to treat you with normal respect and consideration/you deserve to be punished/it's ok to hit you'.

wow, nice ability there to judge someone as a piece of shit for having a different belief from herself. Guess that means that pretty much everyone I know is a piece of shit for having different beliefs and values to me for various things, don't like my mac'n'cheese, ah well I don't care cause you're a piece of shit eat my fist instead why dontcha, must be lovely feeling so superior to the entire world.

This is what men do to justify domestic violence....

Whoever took that video is to be applauded for having such a calm and measured response (and willingness to engage in the face of such idiocy)

Here it is

Badweekjustgotworse · 17/09/2017 11:13

assigned charming... what a horrible thing to be glad about

AssignedPerfectAtBirth · 17/09/2017 11:05

The woman in the blue jacket who is with the woman pony tail threatened afterwards said 'I'm glad he hit her' on camera.

It's on twitter, will try to find it

YetAnotherSpartacus · 17/09/2017 10:50

Ponytail knocks into the woman on video who likes violence

Sorry - can you explain? I don't understand.

TheWeeWitch · 17/09/2017 10:47

Ah, but of course they have Angry

NYConcreteJungle · 17/09/2017 10:46

Ponytail knocks into the woman on video who likes violence, Miranda linked it on Twitter.

Badweekjustgotworse · 17/09/2017 10:43

They've deleted mirandas comment now too I see.... Hmm which incidentally was the video of the attack and a comment to say this is male violence

MichelGarnier · 17/09/2017 10:30

I know badweek seeing it slowed down like that is awful. He looks so angry and menacing.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 17/09/2017 10:29

I would love to know what her and her friend thought ... hopefully not that 'he wasn't a real Scotsman transactivist because real ones are not like that. I suspect she woudl have been called by someone else from the cult group and re-educated counselled.

Badweekjustgotworse · 17/09/2017 10:29

datun not Darin... bloody predictive text

Badweekjustgotworse · 17/09/2017 10:28

Oh and Darin, you can't see the comments because you've been blocked on that Facebook page. I liked on each of Miranda's post and literally seconds later was blocked and couldn't comment. They like their echo chambers.... protects them from logic

Badweekjustgotworse · 17/09/2017 10:26

That new video is chilling, the way ponytail turns on that woman who is trying to intervene to stop the attack is scary. Wouldn't you love to know what her take on it is now since she looks to have been there to protest as a TRA and has now been in the reviewing end of their threats of physical violence, he was very aggressively in her face getting her to back away from him.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 17/09/2017 09:40

I hope that everyone naming Filk Wood is sure it is him - what are the laws on defamation?

Datun · 17/09/2017 09:37

SporadicSpartacus

Actually, they misgendered me! I so wish I had said that.

NYConcreteJungle · 17/09/2017 09:36

Send that to [email protected] with a link to DM article today.

Judging by the comments, it will help their readers understand the situation better.

TheWeeWitch · 17/09/2017 09:35

Miranda has said that this person also squared up to him and it is sunglasses they are holding, not a gun.

AssignedPerfectAtBirth · 17/09/2017 09:20

Another vid. Gun in this or has it been doctored? This is getting weirder and weirder

Datun 'man'handled? Did they just assume your gender?

Datun · 17/09/2017 02:07

I notice that although it says there are 17 comments, they can't be seen.

Is it because they've been deleted?
