ReSisters groups in Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Cambridge, Cardiff and across the country were out making a point for women last night and did an amazing job. Please share your photos here!

If you can, please leave a comment on the LeedsLive link that BollocksToBrexit posted.

The more GC voices that are heard, the better. You don't have to use your real name.

That leeds article says the campaign "is designed to make transgender people 'feel unsafe'."

Published alongside this TERRIFYING picture of the dastardly campaigners. Hmm

Remind me again who it is that goes out masked up and wielding baseball bats?

I am loving this! Well done everyone concerned!!!!

KenDoddsDadsDogsDead18 · 28/01/2019 12:26

...and they say there's just a handful of Gc feminists eh? 24 groups says different!

Well done to all those tired resisters and for all the hard work. I know there was a lot of graft putting this together. Solidarity!

Note the lower case in the title- didn’t intend to link to SFW, but I’ll ask if it can be changed.

This is great, absolutely brilliant in fact and I'm so impressed with everyone involved but it's definitely not part of SFW. It's a stand-alone activist project that's just the ReSisters pointing out the dictionary definition of a word. If possible, could the title be amended please? Thanks, fantastic heads-up post otherwise Flowers Gin

Screenshot of some of the groups. At least another 8 have been set up since I took this.

Inspirational women.

If anyone is on twitter please share and retweet.

Yes it's in some local papers. Leeds are even running a poll of whether it's offensive. Currently 88% of the readership says no.

That Sappho of Lesbos statue is beautiful. Even more beautiful with the Tshirt on Wink

Are these being sent to the picture editors of local newspapers, does anyone know?

Send them soon and they might make it into tomorrow's papers!
