Women's Place UK website hacked

53 replies

After less than 24hrs up A Women's Place UK website has been hacked. The lengths the TRAs will go to in order to silence us never fails to amaze me.
On a brighter note it seems the 'protestors' in Bristol couldn't find the meeting...

But yes, TRAs are clearly getting very scared of the amount of peaking thats going on, and seemingly at increasing speed too. I don't think this genie is going back in the bottle though lads, sorry. I know you planned on doing it on the stealth and then it would be hard to take back, but we saw you. We still see you.

I have an awful feeling that the Edinburgh meeting will turn violent like the Speakers Corner one. I hope they don't find you all, but Edinburgh ATH are seriously unhinged lunatics. Are security staff plentiful? It feels fucking ridiculous to have to ask this about a meeting where women (do men ever go?) discuss their own bloody rights and what they can do to stop them being eroded.

There was an attempt at no-platforming the Bristol meeting, if this hasn't been posted on here. I know the event has been and gone but I thought it was still worth posting this

I see there is an anti-terf placard and banner making workshop happening in Edinburgh on Sunday.

What?

Can't the men work out how to do it for themselves?

It's almost funny. It makes them sound so ridiculous.

Betsy, I hope so, there is definitely a demo planned tho

hackmum: According to transcrimeuk.com/2017/11/16/trans-homicides-in-the-uk-a-closer-look-at-the-numbers/ it's 7, but most of them were sex work/drugs related. You could well be right that it was only one because they were transgender.

BetsyM00 · 09/02/2018 17:59

I don't know why they keep spouting that TW are being constantly murdered - it's easily checked. Seven in last ten years in the UK, none of which were in Scotland!

hackmum · 09/02/2018 17:57

"Isn't the actual figure under 1 person per year since 2008?"

I believe it's one person in its entirety since 2008. But happy to be corrected.

BetsyM00 · 09/02/2018 17:53

According to ATH Edinburgh's facebook page they have a planning meeting of their own on the 14th. So hopefully they will be otherwise occupied.

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 09/02/2018 17:46

I'm blocked from that Edinburgh ATH twitter too Grin I never get to see the good stuff.

OvaHere · 09/02/2018 16:39

I see they invoke the Transwomen are being murdered thing again as if it's happening right now in the UK with alarming regularity. Isn't the actual figure under 1 person per year since 2008?

Barking.

Lemonjello · 09/02/2018 16:24

I think an Edinburgh protest is also likely to be the most unpredictable as anyone who could write that, and expect it to be taken in any way seriously, are quite clearly unhinged.

OvaHere · 09/02/2018 16:14

Sorry I see lemon already pointed that out Blush

OvaHere · 09/02/2018 16:12

Think there will be protests at Edinburgh meeting

I've been expecting the biggest protests at Edinburgh because it's the stomping ground of that group that wrote the ridiculous manifesto.

Oh for goodness sake!

KerplunkChampion · 09/02/2018 14:44

Well done everyone who went and who is involved with this stuff Thanks

Lemonjello · 09/02/2018 14:38

Nope, different TRA. Remember the edinburgh branch of action for trans health are the ones that put out that bonkers manifesto so I’m sure the 14th will be in their calendars.

I wasn’t there that sat but hope it was productive?

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 09/02/2018 14:27

Lemon I've been blocked by whoever posted that tweet, but is it the same one as this? twitter.com/ProudTransWoman/status/961943399015288832 ?

(did we meet a few Saturdays ago, BTW)?

hackmum · 09/02/2018 13:35

"Sorry, is it "Woman's Place" or "Women's Place"?"

Woman's Place.

Terftastic · 09/02/2018 13:31

Fair enough, lang - I'm obviously a tad sensitive!

They're called Sisters Uncut because they're an off-shoot of UK Uncut - one of the early anti-austerity groups founded after the Tories came into power on the austerity agenda in 2010.

Cut refers to spending cuts. The "un" bit signifying against cuts.

They've always been fully on board with the trans agenda and open to TIMs.
