Transactivists close down clothes swap

Imagine if all people who had differing opinions weren't allowed in Parliament at the same time.

PM questions would be a bit one sided.

In fact taking it to it's logical conclusion every single MP would have to be allocated their own day of the year to enter the building.

If violence had been incited, why hasn't LM gone to the police?

This is such utter bollocks.

Very glad you've taken this to the police but so so sorry that this has happened

Clothes swap ffs a clothes swap

It’s a shame the press don’t pick up this kind of stuff. Threats of violence toward women and children at a community event.
Staggering really.

Is there anything we can do, Venice?

I've read all the comments there @DrRadFem and I'm horrified at the viciousness of their tirades. Interesting that Liv refers to Andi as he/man. So what the fuck is that all about? Does that not somewhat blow their ideology out of the water?

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

Argh Dr I'm so sorry. This kind of swap makes a huge difference to families, especially the ones living in poverty, it's wicked to take that opportunity away. But I understand in Deptford, the homeless, addicted and desperate have been requested to move over and make way too, so unsurprising children in poverty can either witness violence or get stuffed.

I'm very glad you have gone to the police and I admire your sense. I'd have been so tempted to hold the event anyway and either prove these threats are empty intimidation, or make sure it was captured on camera as these individuals kicked off in front of children at a community supporting event. That should make the national news and peak trans the UK overnight.

So now people struggling to clothe themselves or their children are being targeted by TRA simply because of who organised the event? Shocking!

With you all the way DrRadfem.

Is pus his name or a description?

With you all the way Doc!

I just think of all the poor trans women [LM] who can't afford clothes that could have benefited. Weird huh?

@DrRadFem sorry this has happened to you, but what a marvellous example of half-wit trans activists

@Angryresister, I think you mean this article: www.feministcurrent.com/2018/03/23/leftist-women-uk-refuse-accept-labours-attempts-silence-critiques-gender-identity/

It includes a long interview with Lucy Mcdonagh about the difficulties Goldsmith's students have caused various working-class women's projects in Deptford. Complete inability to grasp the reality of these women's lives and look for practical ways to help/support/empower them.

Venice, look after yourself. These people are nasty.

Really hope the police are helpful.

Venice, I have PMed you. I hope you are ok, and do consider what I suggest. I'm not happy about it, but think its probably a wise move for now.

It’s not really up to the police to judge is it? If someone is stalking, harassing and threatening then it’s a crime and the police are duty bound to act on it or you can make a complaint. What if something happened and the police had failed to act - this has happened before. Even if the police hate women they can’t pick and choose.

@DrRadFem Terrible this has happened to you.

I strongly urge you to contact Paladin National Stalking Advocacy Service paladinservice.co.uk 020 3866 4107 [email protected] - Our unique team of accredited Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworkers (ISACs) ensure that high risk victims of stalking are supported and that a coordinated community response is developed locally to keep victims and their children safe.

They will advise what evidence you need, how to approach the police plus give you the emotional and practical support you need. This is serious shit now as it's harassing, stalking and mobbing - it is illegal and you do need to protect yourself. Also care is needed for your well being as this kind of harassment cause PTSD.

The people doing this are committing criminal behaviour - you have the written evidence which is great. If you know the people's identity all the better- and take real good care

Yetanothertranswoman, I want to thank you for your stance on this.

Seconded.

Called 101 and they suggested I go to the station in person. I'll report back what they say

Good. Report any further harassment too. It's important that the police are able to build up a full picture.

Just when you think you’ve reached the peak of peak trans - another larger peak appears in front of you. I hope the police are helpful (though I suspect not).

Absolutely right to report. Keep us posted.

I'm glad you're reporting, keep an incident diary because this is targeted harassment and its not going to just go away.
