@FaithSeed So you managed to go into a "safe space" packed with men, and managed to get away with not being raped/assaulted/perved on, and when there was a problem the police arrived and dealt with it according to law.

The men were looking at the Man Friday ladies, and the ladies expected this and took it as the price of getting the point across. The ladies also went in en masse, into a space supervised by lifeguards. This is a lot different from going to a sauna alone and having a male-bodied person walk in unexpectedly when you reasonably expected the sauna to be female-only and had taken your top off.

Amy, you were brilliant! To the point, on point and articulate. Wonderful stuff.

All that huffing though. Should have asked Jane 'egg shell skull' if they needed to get an inhaler.

SwearyG · 29/05/2018 18:33

She could have been referring to Peto couldn't she?

boatyardblues · 29/05/2018 18:33

My point is that no names were named.

boatyardblues · 29/05/2018 18:32

Amy did mention AWS and Womens Officer posts, but she could equally have been referring to Dave Lewis.

LM is complaining about the transphobe on BBCRadio4 who just called him a man. Did I miss something?

Jane Fae described Amy Desir/ ManFriday as 'bullying' on tonight's interview on Radio 4.

Please see #ManFriday's recent 'Art Exhibition' for examples of bullying:
manfridayuk.org/2018/05/04/manfriday-the-11th-our-very-own-art-exhibition/#more-1060

(concludes)
"The women and transwomen being attacked by these male ‘trans rights activists’ have rather different weapons of choice:

Public debates open to all
Swimming trunks and a ridiculous hat
T-shirts, badges and leaflets
Silly cartoons
A crowd-funded legal challenge to a political party breaking the law
Meetings with our MPs
Media interviews
Discussion on a public forum
A petition on the government website
The not-remotely funny thing is, it is these women and transwomen who are being removed from office, interviewed under police caution, verbally abused, threatened, intimidated, shoved, beaten and surrounded by baying mobs of these terrifying TRAs. This is not a few crazies sounding off on Twitter. This is real.

To our politicians: will you speak up now against this avalanche of violent misogyny? If not, why not?

To transpeople: there is a balance of rights to be found that both protects women and girls and enables people suffering from gender dysphoria to participate in a full social life. Women always have been and can always be your staunchest allies, but there are people among you who are playing divide and conquer. Loudly. They don’t care about you. They want to erase your identity as well as ours in their narcissistic rampage of male violence and self-entitlement. Let’s talk."

nauticant · 29/05/2018 18:01

Looking at the reaction on twitter to that radio piece, one thing that stands out is how many trans allies think that no gender critical person should be allowed a voice in the media. No interest in arguments, the only issue is that the opposite side must be silenced.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 29/05/2018 17:53

I know who JF reminded me of - me when it's been a long day and a rep calls and launches into their script - but I don't know if they are friend with my boss, so I give them scant pleasantries and pretend to listen.

spontaneousgiventime · 29/05/2018 17:50

You can always tell when our side presented the better argument in a debate like Amy has done today. The Angels forum completely ignores the fact there even was a debate.

Go Amy, go Amy, go Amy - YEAH! childish I know. Grin

AsAProfessionalFekko · 29/05/2018 17:49

How old is JF? Sounded rather like a maternity school-marm talking to a slow, small child. Huffffffffff pufffffffffff sigggggghhhhh.

boatyardblues · 29/05/2018 17:49

The TRAs really need to stop wheeling Jane Fae out. JF really cannot debate the issues effectively.

boatyardblues · 29/05/2018 17:47

Amy 1-0 JF

Seconded. You were very good. DH listened in the car on the way home and commented on your calm, measured delivery. Martin Ponting was a good pick to counter the usual “that’ll never happen” narrative.

Cecily75 · 29/05/2018 17:47

Well done Amy, calm and to the point. No need for huffing and sighing Grin

How can JF say that Amy "misrepresented" this Hampstead Pond incident? JF wasn't there, unlike Amy...

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 29/05/2018 17:42

ManFriday also mentioned in this BBC report

I'm actually pretty impressed the BBC has covered this, and the twitter bannings. Fairly balanced article too.

Melamin · 29/05/2018 17:31

Well done Amy. That was fantastic.

They listened and questioned for once.

I think it helped that Amy was in the studio - the one on the phone always seems to be on the back foot.

I was doing something with a hammer and JF helped it along nicely Smile.

JF's huffing and blowing at the beginning seems to be a comic signature.

SwearyG · 29/05/2018 17:31

Amy you wiped the floor with Fae. What a horror "that's only one case" - one case is too fucking many, you self-righteous bellend.

TeaCoffeeCakeGinWine · 29/05/2018 17:30

Nice work Amy! 👏👏👏👏

So much breathlessness from Jane Fae.. after all, that is what is women do, just a lot of breathless sighing

spontaneousgiventime · 29/05/2018 17:29

Amy 1-0 JF Star

Waddlelikeapenguin · 29/05/2018 17:29

Oh I cant listen just now good luck Amy Star (or a manly punch on the arm if you prefer Grin)

nauticant · 29/05/2018 17:29

Very good performance Amy. You got a lot in and avoided being sidetracked.

As usual Jane Fae is making very clear that they would be best kept away from spaces reserved for women.
