I wonder how that went down on Twitter?

There was also a full page as in the Scotsman.

There was a lot of testeria on twitter Grin

If they have one in Wiltshire, I'll be there ❤️

Thanks itsniceoopnorth!

marvellousnightforamooncup there will be placards available that you can use. Hopefully songs and speeches too.

I'm getting excited too. Smile

Everyone please come along if you can! We need a show of solidarity and numbers.

I'm getting excited but I don't have a placard. I'll shout or sing or something.

I'm a bloke but I fully support this. I think women are getting a shocking time at the moment.
Good luck all.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 06/03/2020 16:52

Anything?! Anyone Blush

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 06/03/2020 16:51

Just giving this a bump in case anything missed it.

It's really important there is a big turnout so we can't be dismissed as fanatic fringe feminists.

DD is in Edinburgh and will be going along if she’s free. She’s krav maga trained and used to dealing with male troublemakers at feminist protests, but I expect a good police presence will make her intervention unnecessary.
I’m an hour and a half away by car, but have commitments until after lunch, so would get there too late.

I was personally a fan of the “There’s no CIS in Team” placard.

BetsyM00 · 05/03/2020 13:24

Reminiscent of the TRA's placard at the Women's Place conference I think I want one in the suffragette colours, purple white and green, that says SISTERS NOT CISTERS.

"cisgendering is misgendering" is brilliant!

jen1wren · 05/03/2020 11:45

I was going to go for "MSPs signing away safety" seems a little dry now compared to yours @sexnotgender Grin
Thinking of wearing a snood thingy to cover my mouth so I can put tape over it?
Anyone seen the videos of 'and the rapist was you?" They're excellent.

Sexnotgender · 05/03/2020 11:06

Cisgendering is misgendering 😊

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 05/03/2020 09:24

Bumping. There seems to be lots of interest.

Maybe in light of presiding officer not upholding point of order Elaine Smith raised about Patrick Harvie's speech, we could make some signs saying " women say 'cis' is not parliamentary language"!

jen1wren · 04/03/2020 17:36

Apologies- sloppy grammar

jen1wren · 04/03/2020 17:35

Also trying to persuade my dad to come along although not sure how the line "well @sexnotgender 's dad is coming will go downGrin

Sexnotgender · 04/03/2020 16:02

My dad is coming 😊

NonnyMouse1337 · 04/03/2020 11:49

Men who are supportive of women's rights are welcome too. So invite along your partner or friends who are also concerned about the erosion of women's rights in the gender self-id debate. Smile

Sheshehe · 04/03/2020 11:35

Going to try and come too. Be interesting to see how many of us turn up.

MadamePewter · 03/03/2020 21:14

I’ll bring a packet of Pom Bears

jen1wren · 03/03/2020 21:06

@334bu we'll all be supporting each other. I'll be prob walking from bus station PM me if you want. I'll make sure I check my account.

Sexnotgender · 03/03/2020 20:56

I’ll be there.

2Rebecca · 03/03/2020 20:52
