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.

Probably not. Munroe is another example of a (trans person who is not female) who might look sorta passing under careful posing and photoshop but stood next to women in an everyday context the difference is unmistakable.

Munroe Bergdorf is there somewhere filming their documentary about what is a woman.

So I'm guessing we can expect very little if anything of the excellent points the speakers have made to feature in the final documentary?

RosenbergW · 19/04/2018 20:56

I mean all that virtue signalling is pointless if noone is watching

RosenbergW · 19/04/2018 20:55

Apparently there were lots of cameras and news etc outside at the beginning. The TAS probably left when they did, reality TV culture isn't it

There are so many of us I'm sure, who are sitting here in our rooms, willing you on. We can't be public yet, for the very reasons you all set out.

Thank you to those of you brave enough to do this. To face the onslaught of aggression, you are awesome. I'm just sorry I'm not with you. But every step you take, you help us all find a voice.

Whos the famous trans activist?

Im trying to watch but my signal is terrible

Spending2muchtimeonMN · 19/04/2018 20:51

Have the transactivists all gone to the pub? They were making a right racket throughout Heather's speech.

Posie said re: Emma saying she still had friends on the inside here, the threat of that, is terrorism. It is.

Q&A about to start.

Thank you so much for the live stream link - watching now - I'm a 1000 miles away, and am unlikely to make any meeting in the UK, and it's great to be able to see these speakers.

HopScotchy · 19/04/2018 20:48

You can follow live tweeting with #weneedtotalk if you can't get the stream.

ScarletBegonias · 19/04/2018 20:47

I couldn't get the link to work. But going into Facebook then searching for Jam Jar Bristol took me straight to the live stream.

RosenbergW · 19/04/2018 20:47

Posie is talking about Mumsnet now

pombear · 19/04/2018 20:47

I've only just followed the livestream, so I can't comment yet on previous speakers, but Posie, listening to your speech and seeing your bravery for speaking out on this issue, I am very impressed.

These are the issues that many of us feel that noone is listening to us on.

These are incredibly important issues.

We are being pushed to silence. So many of us will not be silenced. Even if we can't do this in ways Posie is doing, we will do this.

Thank you Posie, and to all those speaking, and attending tonight's event.

SirVixofVixHall · 19/04/2018 20:46

I can’t get it either and I really want to watch it.

RosenbergW · 19/04/2018 20:43

Posie is brilliant.

RosenbergW · 19/04/2018 20:42

Posie reading out TA threats to 'terfs'. Very effective. I've not heard lots read out loud together like that before.

MrsUnderwood · 19/04/2018 20:41

I can’t get the Facebook live stream to work on iPad :(

HerFemaleness · 19/04/2018 20:40

Posie's double entendre Grin

AnitaLovesVictor · 19/04/2018 20:38

That was a powerful speaker (Nicola?)

Made so much sense.

theaveragewife · 19/04/2018 20:37

I'd never thought of why young women are TRA allies before, makes sense indeed!

RosenbergW · 19/04/2018 20:33

I don't use Facebook either but you can watch this from a desktop without being signed in (wouldn't work from my phone)

RosenbergW · 19/04/2018 20:32

I've not heard of Nicola before today, she is making a lot of sense. Talking about trigger warnings and tumblr atm.

TripleRainbow · 19/04/2018 20:32

"The only time trans men are in the public eye is when they get pregnant"

This is so true.
