It's going to be amazing. Please come.

A famous trans activist is coming. Film crews (yes more than one). Feminist royalty. This event is a game changer.

Oh, on my phone I was in fb in browser, not fb in app if that makes a difference.

womanhuman · 20/04/2018 10:08

How are you trying Vix? On my phone I just clicked straight through.

SirVixofVixHall · 20/04/2018 10:06

How can I watch the video ?

jeaux90 · 20/04/2018 09:29

I stayed up way too late catching up on the videos. It was really good.

I wanted to know at which point Bergdorf flounced though Grin

HerFemaleness · 20/04/2018 09:29

A dozen masked Student Grant's with toff voices

Let's name the problem, they were mostly men. It's always men. Outside abortion clinics - men. Writing fucking books that tell us we have lady brains and girl feels - men. Telling us to stop standing up for our own rights - men.

MrsWinkly · 20/04/2018 09:25

Hats off to you all Posie x
Fantastic that the Jamjar hosted & didn't buckle. Good old Bristol.
I'm nearby & wish I could have been there in support.

Melamin · 20/04/2018 09:19

Glad it went well Smile.

Brilliant that a venue has not chickened out, at last! Who'd have thought it with Millwall Hmm

Beyond11cisRetinol · 20/04/2018 08:55

You were all brilliant posie, I really wish I could have been there.
Especially now I've seen that Sheila J and Magdellen B were there too!

I think I would have literally had fangirl vapours at all of the awe-inspiring women in the room! Grin

I still can’t access the video. Really want to watch it. It is brilliant that the venue supported women’s right to discuss legistation.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 20/04/2018 08:11

I read it that way too. I found it absolutely bizarre. What did they think the roving gangs of gender critical feminists were going to do? Of course if you only ever move in circles where nobody challenges your world view it must be very jarring suddenly to realise that not everyone else agrees with you, but how does that suddenly translate to violence? Where's the resilience, the mental toughness, the confidence in your own position? How do these people get through life if they're as fragile as this?

BrashCandicoot · 20/04/2018 07:00

@thebewilderness I read it as them thinking that the GC feminists would be the assailants. Which is a pretty interesting way of rewriting how violence tends to be committed, especially considering Maria’s court case this week.

TotallyLibrarianPoo · 20/04/2018 04:23

Can someone please tell me if the TRAs outside were masked, and were they caught on film?

Posie Flowers, you were all fabulously brilliant and brave to do this, thank you!

thebewilderness · 20/04/2018 03:56

Are they actually suggesting that transgender identified males might lose control and assault women if they do not have someone to walk them home?
Kinda like that how to prevent rape by the buddy system or giving men a rape whistle he can blow when the urge overcomes him so his random bystanders can come and stop him?

womanhuman · 20/04/2018 01:53

I have just finished watching. Amazing.

Angryresister · 20/04/2018 01:47

Good to see you all there...comforting to know that there are always problems with the technology, still! Great line up , great team. Fantastic to be able to see actual women talking.

spontaneousgiventime · 20/04/2018 00:56

You know what really peeves me? Those women were so brave and they had to be to face a group of TRA who cornered them on the stairs. That is BANG out of order. Speech is still free in the country, yet those brave women felt intimidated just for attending a meeting.

Watched the video and it was so inspirational, so many 'veteran' speakers along with newer ones. I'm going to bed with my head full of idea's and my heart full of hope because of those brave, brave women!

Lots of brave in this post but they were and we shouldn't need to be just to meet up for a meeting with like minded people. Bravo to the small number of men who attended too, my late husband would have cheered us on, and there are others who will too. Twitter has been full of both sexes defending womens rights today. Here's to it continuing.

That's great duddle 🙂 You will remember it forever. You were there for the fight back. How great is that 🌟

Duddlepluck · 20/04/2018 00:19

Not trying to make anyone jealous or anything, but I was there, and it was absolutely AMAZING, if more than a bit scary at times. I spent half the evening feeling like some kind of feminist fangirl - got to meet so many of my sheros... Grin

Writersblock2 · 20/04/2018 00:16

Fab event, everyone. Hope you’re all safe after the crap outside.

AdultHumanFemale · 19/04/2018 23:47

Waaah! How did I not know about this?! Would have loved to be there.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 19/04/2018 23:45

Thay was brilliant

Spending2muchtimeonMN · 19/04/2018 23:34

You're right. I'm just going to think about all those amazing, brave, articulate women at the meeting in Bristol . Totally inspiring.
