(At one point it says it is for Labour Party Conference delegates and later on it says it is a public meeting.)

A Woman’s Place is at Conference
Public Meeting in Brighton
Monday 23 September 2019 (Venue to be announced)
Doors open at 6:30pm, for 7.00pm start.

Woman's Place UK (WPUK) invites Labour Party Conference delegates to hear speakers discuss the WPUK Manifesto, focusing on women's issues. Half the tickets are available for FREE to Labour Party members.

Speaker biographies:
Dani Ahrens Founding member of Brighton Pride, a lifelong Labour activist, tweets as @rebelyarns
Onjali Rauf Founder and CEO of 'Making Herstory'
Kay Green "Socialist policy must always be based on reality." Kay Green is a socialist activist, supporting gender-critical voices on the political left.
Kiri Tunks Woman's Place UK founder (Chair)

Woman’s Place UK was founded in September 2017 to ensure women’s voices would be heard in the consultation on proposals to change the Gender Recognition Act. We had 5 demands and we didn’t expect the campaign to last more than 3-4 months.

Thanks to the support and actions of thousands of people all over the UK we had a big collective impact on the debate and, while we don’t expect to hear the results of the consultation yet, we know that the government has heard the voices of thousands of women.

At the same time, the debate has exposed the poor state of women’s rights in the UK. We have decided therefore to develop a broader campaign on the foundations we have built.

We will keep up the pressure on the government around the GRA and on councils and organisations to uphold equality law.

But there are other battles we need to fight too.

So we have made some New Year Resolutions to help us broaden the campaign in 2019:

And as usual the trans activists have no understanding of the impact of intimidation. eg the woman with PTSD in the meeting and the mother who had come with her daughter to the meeting and stood outside thinking she shouldn't but her child in danger.

Oh, they do understand. They just don't care. They have absolutely no moral compass at all.

According to Twitter someone has been on stage this morning at party conference to condemn last night's protest

Gone2far · 24/09/2019 11:26

My mp, Thangham Debonnaire, has condemned this. Does anyone else know if other mp's have? They were tweeted by wpuk this morning. It's pretty shameful if more mp's don't condemn this

This is what we faced exiting the meeting. I couldn’t turn right out of building as it was blocked by aggressive people and I was pushing my friend in a wheelchair so had to take a dangerous slippy dark route down slopes & steps helped by two kind unknown attendees😨 #WPUKLab19 t.co/rv8kHJjStR

littlbrowndog · 24/09/2019 10:59

Yeah was thinking that. Out of where

Imagine if they didn’t have to word terf. Wonder what word would they use

Women out ?
Witches out ?
Bitches out ?

womanontheedgeoftime · 24/09/2019 10:53

What does "TERFS out" even mean? Out of where?!

SunsetBeetch · 24/09/2019 10:38

Another video, of protestors shouting "terfs out" and "scum".

Please note @TWT_NOW encouraged people to attend the protest at #WPUKLab19 with a false allegation of “transphobic bigotry”. We have asked them if they endorse the intimidation and abuse directed at women attending our meeting. #Lab19 @UKLabour t.co/P7i1fRvAz2

TRAs banging on the window of the #WPUK meeting in Brighton right now.

Women meet. Trans activists aggressively try and hammer down the boundary.

How fucking apt. t.co/Re5GO7Jrj1

SunsetBeetch · 24/09/2019 10:34

State of this outside the venue where #WPUKLab19 were meeting to talk about women's sex-based rights, a load of trans-activist misogynists screaming, shouting and banging on the window while the police did absolutely nothing: t.co/9e7ZWbrc7E

The girl on the megaphone shouting 'TERFS OUT' in Brighton outside a women's meeting is the same Stockholm Syndrome sufferer who was forced out of The Labour Party because she was accused of transphobia for rejecting Lily Madigan's sexual advances t.co/0Y3mJcr8kL

I thought lilz was not student women’s officer of some such meaningless title?

SunsetBeetch · 24/09/2019 10:31

JUST GOT IN from @WomansPlaceUK #WPUKLab19. Staggered by the disrespect shown by trans activists drowning out the voices of the very women who laid the foundations of the freedoms they enjoy. Quite clear women speaking their truth is a threat! @BtonHovePolice - awful&abysmal. t.co/SVxWMyZjQK

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 24/09/2019 10:31

Labour has been taken over by some very odd folx.

SunsetBeetch · 24/09/2019 10:31

Labour women's officer Lily Madigan has tweeted from two accounts that the women who met in Brighton to discuss their sex-based rights while facing threats and intimidation from people like Lily outside are 'scum' t.co/QfJaDDHPNk

WPUK are outside the venue promoting their transphobic crap, my friend was just detained by police for tearing down an antisemitic banner- which has now gone back up!!!- #Lab19 is currently letting down transgender and Jewish comrades massively. #LabourConference2019 t.co/L4k1E2Vu3W

Just fell into a rabbit hole when researching Sussex Police 😖 t.co/pAw2leFxCy

Whilst men were pounding on the windows of a women's meeting the lovely "Joanne", hate crime ambassador for Sussex Police, was having the night of her life at the National Diversity Awards. t.co/jW38aEI0VS

Claire Udy, a councillor in Portsmouth, was involved in the protest against the #WPUKlab2019 meeting last night. In fact, she sort of helped organise it.

Shocking to see that footage.

I doubt I would have had the courage to attend that meeting (longstanding anxiety, and a curious aversion to being shouted at and threatened), but the attacks on women attending do show how very starkly how critical and febrile the situation has become.

Well done, all the brave women who attended and spoke. You have my full admiration.

ChattyLion · 24/09/2019 09:43

Well said.

What Lang just said:

You lost my membership subs over this.

I will never vote for you until the protection of women's rights and safeguarding frameworks for children are in your manifesto.

You need to stop relying on a few thousand bourgeois activists and start thinking about the millions of votes you're hoping to win.

Dear UK Labour

You lost my membership subs over this.

I will never vote for you until the protection of women's rights and safeguarding frameworks for children are in your manifesto.

These are the people who only want to pee/shower/change (and the rest) alongside women. Ok then...
