They really do need to clear up what they will actually do if someone they consider a Terf shows up.

FekkoTheLawyer · 08/10/2018 18:46

I know I know - I've reported myself Blush

This tweet says lesbians can get the fuck out of the LGB scene in manchester.

Many trans activisists use lesbian and terf interchangably.
Women who will not service dick are hated by men.
So what's new?

For the police to support these frankly rapey homophobic (when it comes to the L anyway) is nothing new though. Police have never worked for women an girls. Read the news >>

Just now more women are coming up against them and people who didn't realise before are starting to realise.

Well not all of them maybe. What happened with Brian Paddick in the end?

NothingOnTellyAgain · 08/10/2018 18:40

"We have the right not to be harassed or discriminated against for our beliefs."

I think we're finding out that we don't.

Police have always worked to protect those with power - of course.

Our laws show that well + the outcomes.

Stat today saying 2/3 schoolgirls have experienced sexual harrassment while out and about >> this has always gone on. Society / police not interested, never have been.

When it comes to what men want / mens sexual rights, the law is not on our side, never has been.

Just a reminder that the Woman's Place meeting in Hastings had a bomb threat, and that very shortly afterwards there was a news story about potential explosive materials found in St Leonards, although whether this is actually connected has not been confirmed as far as I know. Still bomb threats alone count as terrorism when they're made with a political motivation.

So Greater Manchester Police are aligning themselves with terrorists.

I am tempted to contact Visit Manchester tourism

mailto:[email protected]

to ask for clarification.

If their police don’t want TERFs on their turf, what do they feel about culturally conservative overseas tourists. And who is there to protect people from the police.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 08/10/2018 18:28

Well that's progressive.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 08/10/2018 18:28

Lesbians who say no to dick are "terfs".

So the police force is saying that lesbians are not welcome in manchesters gay scene unless they get with cock?

And that they will remove them from "their turf" if they don't comply?

VickyEadie · 08/10/2018 18:23

Burnham it is. Should I also contact the chief constable of GMP?

FekkoTheLawyer · 08/10/2018 18:23

Who told them that being GC was tantamount to genocide?

Is the the G and the C? Is that it?

I suspect civilians are let loose on the twitter account? Young male type civilians?

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 08/10/2018 18:21

Andy Burnham?

VickyEadie · 08/10/2018 18:20

Advice, please. I want to write and ask if I'm welcome in the city I used to call home - whom would be the best person (or is it more than one) I should write to ask?

Turph · 08/10/2018 18:14

Maybe they quite like policing hate crime as it's an easy collar for them and they're all on targets now aren't they?
Any muslim posters here? Why not report a hate crime - being forced to accept men in your spaces and being called names because you are opposed to that is anti-muslim, right?
I think it's pretty anti-lesbian. I might complain based on that, exclusion by default. Many terfs are lesbians, many lesbians are terfs, and we are being excluded by the police. My political stance is socially unacceptable to the police but this doesn't affect men who mock trans people, just women who want to discuss the law.

VickyEadie · 08/10/2018 18:07

The striking thing is in their original tweet - the people they want 'off their turf' are people campaigning to keep the law as it is. The stickers/leaflets etc they are responding to is part of a campaign to keep the law as it is. They are setting themselves against those who are in favour of the current law. The law that the police have sworn to uphold.

You couldn't bloody make it up, could you?

Does this apply to the many shops in Manchester? Presumably we must use other shopping centres instead.

I think, in fairness, we need to make it clear to those businesses we can no longer use that we are not boycotting them; we have simply been told by the police to stay away from them.

Charliethefeminist · 08/10/2018 17:44

Manchester United I think, within 4 tweets the response from fans was 'Tran United'

HandsOffMyRights · 08/10/2018 16:39

toilets I mean! Although stands may be appropriate if the ladies' are converted to mixed sex..

Vicky, I am sure supporters will have worked out something more fruity for Morinho on the coach on the way up. Presumably ok as long as he does not come out as transgender before then. Or are all men in Manchester super sensitive to what they might perceive as criticism?

HandsOffMyRights · 08/10/2018 16:38

I'm not a footy fan but hasn't one of the Manchester Clubs decided to go 'gender neutral' (they mean mixed sex) with its stands?

Something's going on in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds. It sounds fishy to me.

"Transphobic" = "A witch!"

PerverseConverse · 08/10/2018 16:21

I've raised this on my local labour supporters page and have been told my post is transphobic. By a man, of course. My post merely focused on the rights of women and girls. How this is transphobic I'm not sure but I've asked him and will wait with bated breath Grin

VickyEadie · 08/10/2018 16:03

And if I join the away end chanting of "we support our local team"

I have to say, as an Old Trafford regular, that you're on dodgy ground with that one! In an average crowd of more than 70 thousand (e.g. in Saturday attendance was over 74K), at least 55 thousand are Mancs living in Manchester and a lot of others (like me) are Mancs in exile.

Cracks me up when Palace supporters and the like start singing it.
