The 24 year harassment of the Vancouver rape relief and women's shelter

Interesting article here about the 24 year campaign against the Vancouver women's shelter for its refusal to allow trans identified females into its space. I'd heard about the law suit but didn't know about all these other acts. Honestly starting to feel like Trans Right Activism is just mens Right Advocates in a dress. Why can't no one see how batshit insane and EVIL these activists are?

Or a zippered Hefty bag, as the case may be.

Is this the one offering make-up tips?

Now I’ve zero interest myself, but even I know the blusher goes on your cheekbones Confused

But his last tweet .. “VRR serves all women”?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 17/05/2019 07:59

Thanks for the reminder of the fundraiser.

Ogre is just avoiding the question.

2BthatUnnoticed · 17/05/2019 07:50

What is this? Has one of the few female-dedicated Rape Crisis Centres been forced into line? Any Canadians about?

And people can fuck right off with implying that butch lesbians are any less “woman” than anyone else... jeez when will it end.

I cancelled my small monthly donation to nspcc a few months ago. I have just found a worthy replacement in VRR.

My children agree with me! Finally. They have applauded the donation.

CaptainMarvelBunting · 19/03/2019 15:43

EweSurname, oh I know! I've watched in starry eyed admiration as she has responded with every bit of integrity I would have expected from her as she's come across each new avenue of horror in this. It is a beautiful, encouraging thing.

EweSurname · 19/03/2019 15:41

Oh and "lesbian" no longer being defined as women who have a sexual attraction to other women (which is related to the cotton ceiling I suppose)

EweSurname · 19/03/2019 15:39

CaptainMarvelBunting she's retweeted or commented on the cotton ceiling, lesbians not being welcomed at Pride, affirmation of children into the medical pathway, the high percentage of transwomen in women's prisons who have committed violent crimes against women and I'm sure other things that I've missed!

QuantamBaby · 19/03/2019 15:38

I've donated too, the whole situation makes my blood boil.

MrsTerryPratchett · 19/03/2019 15:33

They only need 4000 at $20/month, which is what I'm now donating.

placemats · 19/03/2019 15:29

I've donated. This is a MRA in a wig and a dress who takes pleasure in subjugating women. It's time for this to stop. I would bet that most of those who agree with this MRA in a wig and a dress are on right wing sites as well.

This is a beautiful statement from the Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter.

Read and then decide if you want to support this worthy organisation.

You hear that? That's the sound of Martina Navratilova scaling ever new heights of shocked realization about the consequences of what she stumbled on in sport.

You silly, silly men really thought you could bully and shout everyone down, didn't ya? A rug doesn't exist that's big enough to hide all your shit under it, fellas.

EweSurname · 19/03/2019 15:11

I hope that creature never needs to look a female friend or relative in the eye and explain why they can't access help after a sexual assault or have to walk away from a centre because there are men there.

GrinitchSpinach · 19/03/2019 14:03

I believe 1.1 million is their annual budget, but only about $33k of that has been cut off by the city (much of the rest comes from the provincial government I believe, which is probably Oger's next target).

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 19/03/2019 14:01

What’s the rest of the tweet - 1.1m what?

LondonPainter · 19/03/2019 13:05

Have set up a monthly donation after seeing Helen Watts' tweet Smile

donated.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 19/03/2019 12:18

B’B’TW - even more specialised.

GrinitchSpinach · 19/03/2019 12:14

BBW = "big beautiful woman" = specific type of porn/sex stuff focusing on heavier women.

Sorry for lowering the tone.

(I did donate to VRR, in honor of the fragrant Ms Oger).

SocFem19 · 19/03/2019 11:43

I've donated.
