A Woman's Place - Edinburgh GRA meeting 14 Feb

It would be interesting to see if the masked wee dafties/ cowards from Wednesday have their own meetings at the drill hall, no one will be hassling them if they do. It is a great space, but no, they will want to boycott it now going by the ridiculous messages on its Facebook.

No it’s ‘lil’s officer’.

Yes, just as Lily Madigan seems to be treating the post of Women’s Officer as Trans Officer.

I'm assuming that the Sisters Uncut organisation at some point was infiltrated by one or more TIMs.

This is why feminism and associated groups should exclude men because all it takes is one dude with male socialisation and confidence to start centering the whole thing around him and his views. So many women will fall in line with this especially if accompanied by a good sob story of much oppression. The man/men will then use these women to oust the more difficult ones that don't fall in line.

It's such an obvious pattern of behaviour and so very male regardless of whether said male sporting lipstick and a dress.

🤔😂

I’m confused by how trans rights are a focus of a women’s organisation to such an extent they’re organising protests against women.
It’s depressing.

Domestic violence, eh? So what does that have to do with the trans debate?

Are they protecting the mostly female victims of domestic violence or not? Sounds like they are protecting the rights of males to gain access to safe spaces.

Supposedly a women’s domestic violence charity. They were protesting outside the venue on Wednesday.

I daren't google. Who are these Uncut people?

I tweeted the Drill Hall to say thanks. Sisters Uncut are demanding they give all the takings from Wednesday to a trans charity and issue a full apology.

I really their foot-stamping goes ignored.

Can anyone who was there, or not quite frankly leave a good review for out of the blue drill hall on their FB page.

I’d hate these TRA/MRA reviews to affect their business.

On the FB page, someone called Katie Marie responds to Caroline Rosemary by saying, "You're despicable".

I can't read that without hearing the voice of Daffy Duck!

have a look at the drill halls facebook page - its quite amusing

That Ryan dude is a shining example of Leftie brocialist. Cares deeply about every oppressed group going except women.

sisters uncut have posted on their facebook that people should go on the facebook page of The Out of the Blue Drill Hall and protest at them letting the hall to wicked TERFs up in Edinburgh last night

Sorry i never made it. Where abouts was it held?

"One of them was banging a silver pet food bowl. So rad."
Wonder if some hungry un-fed pussy will be biting back in protest...............

Sounds like an interesting night and I am glad there was such a good turnout, wish I could have been there to show my support. I agree that we need to be brave and show numbers. I refuse to be intimidated by the emperor's new clothes.

There is a query about the protest on Edinburgh reddit which wants a bit of educating if anyone has time today. I have a lot on and know you need to be present when a reddit thread spirals. Sad to see a genuine query immediately met with abusive vitriol but not surprised. Who knew that wishing to observe biological scientific fact makes me an "arsehole" or a "git"?!?

That’s a bit too deep and meaningful for them! Half probably had only a vague idea of why they were there and only went for the crack.

The pot banging and so on sounds like one of those skimmity-ride things they used to have in previous centuries to shame an adulterous wife. Kind of apposite somehow that they'd choose a form of disruption so rooted in misogyny.

Wantaticket no they definitely believe they are on the side of right. I think they are trying to protect themselves from us and our violent transphobia!

I didn't really look at the TRAs before and after, I was more focused on getting past them and keeping my head down. Is it normal for them to cover their faces or is the tide turning and their views are becoming more unpopular?

Missing question mark from my last post!

I got a ticket in the end - hooray! So glad to have gone and I was really impressed by the speakers and by the women I met before and afterwards (thanks for the great chats people!).

Is it normal for them to cover their faces or is the tide turning and their views are becoming more unpopular. I'm surprised they felt the need to cover their faces but my guess is that they believe their own lies that we're violent and hateful rather than it being a sign of holding a view that they view as being unpopular?
