Women's March London says trans voices should be elevated over women's voices

Women's march london is a fully intersectional and trans inclusive collective, as laid out in our guiding principles. We fully recognise trans women as women and sisters and welcome them to all our actions. We acknowledge that all who were assigned female at birth, including our trans brothers and some non-binary siblings share many of the same struggles and believe that the voices of trans men and AFAB non-binary people should always be heard and elevated in discussions of reproductive justice or menstrual equity.
We will not tolerate anyone who comes to our actions or our spaces with the intent to cause harm to others and believe that transphobia has no place in feminist action. Bread and Roses is an all genders action and one where we hope people of all genders and none can feel safe and welcome. If any trans sibling feels threatened or unsafe on the march we urge them to come speak to our stewards or one of the organisers and we will do our best to help.

Isn’t Sophie Walker from the WEP gender critical?

It would be brilliant if no women turned up.

Not a new position. When the women’s march came about I was on the London FB group. A trans woman called me a Nazi among other things for saying people should allow Jenni Murray to have her opinion as long as she wasn’t advocating harm to anyone. Nobody there did anything about it. This person was really aggressive and abusive all over the group and completely got away with it. I’ve never had anything remotely to do with any aspect of women’s march since. It’s a pointless liberal feminist shitshow. I wouldn’t worry about the FB support, they and/or FB will be deleting any and all GC comments.

Sadly, this movement has already fallen apart for several other reasons... sorry TRAs, you didn't get to ruin this one for us! Try harder next time!

Should be avoiding the women's march anyway. It's an organisation rifed with antisemites.

As soon as I think we have reached peak craziness it gets even more ridiculous.

Yes - everybody is a woman - except actual women, who should be voiceless, quiet, and obedient follow directions!!
Yeah including women who say they aren't women, but they have male privilege apparently.
Who writes this stuff?

Purplewithgreenspots · 19/01/2019 01:24

Why should we keep elevating others above ourselves? I bet most women who go to the march won’t have read this twaddle.

Didn't spot that about Linda Bellos. I wonder if she was asked.

I was too busy reading facebook comments. Sadly they are getting support.

But noticed they haven't responded to queries re affiliation to Women's March in the US now split because of accusations of anti semitism.

So they think TWAW and TMAW too?

Apollo440 · 19/01/2019 01:04

Errr.... Linda Bellos is listed as a supporter on their website. I can't see her subscribing to the woke bullshit.
