This debate needs...violence, says Lib Dem candidate

So sarah brown (erstwhile Cambridge councillor, introducer of non-EA2010 compliant policy on "gender", and active member of the LGBT+ Lib dems) thinks of the debate with feminists who don't support trans women:

Violence worked for the suffragettes"
"When you have a mere philosophical disagreement then violence is not appropriate, however these people are, at a aminimum, trying to eradicate us from the public realm"
"The gloves are off"

Worth noting that sarah frequently says that "t**fs" want her and other transwomen dead and want to eliminate them from the public realm.

I find this genuinely chilling. All heat, no light.

Why do they persistently invent these ridiculous straw-man arguments?

"getting shanked"
I'd like Sarah to show me her evidence for this.

Does PC Gul have anything to say about this?

Here's a library picture of the way sarah presents the "other" side of the debate.

Exactly. She needs to make it explicit so we can all see what she (still) is.

Let’s hope it doesn’t happen. Nobody wants violence

If it does though, the public will not look kindly on it.

Look at the huge responses to the steph hayden story. That’s hit two main nerves.

  1. Ordinary woman locked up for saying what everyone thinks - the reader can see themselves there.
  2. Heavy handed (three officers) arrest of an ordinary women in front of her kids for saying what everyone thinks / factual information.

That story catapulted this out of the ‘well all this metropolitan crap, nothing to do with me’ into a framing where someone just like the reader has been arrested for saying something the reader believes. That makes it personal.

Now add in violence. Cover it visually, because the sight of large male bodied people physically intimidating ordinary people for something the viewer believes is going to peak an awful lot more people.

I predict recruitment of female allies to do the dirty work, to make the visuals better.

How do the Lib Dems manage to turn a blind eye to this kind of inflammatory statement, when women are skinned and shamed as transphobes for pointing out how violent the TRA rhetoric is?
And Sarah Brown is pretty much the icing on the cake in that party, all shades of wrong. What woman would feel comfortable working for or alongside someone who openly encourages violence towards women who disagree? Fully demonstrating a nice bit of male aggression there. Shut up or I'll thump you.
They are the pits.

Brown should say who “ these people “ are that brown wants to commit violence on

Sorry - missed this:

”you know when things started to change for LGBT+ people in the first place? When our predecessors started to smash shit up after one provocation too many”
”it works”

”you can't expect us not to defend ourselves from people who want us dead"

It will be interesting to see how the party responds - I am a Lib Dem and would be pleased to see non violent debate.

Looks like male aggression?

Signs of paranoia and mental instability. But the TRAs always try to claim that their gender delusions aren’t a mental illness!
Since when has “ preserving single sex toilets for women’s safety and privacy” become “trying to eradicate us” or “wanting us dead”?
