To protest for women's spaces.

I'm too far away but I did notice this event for 'humans with uteruses' at Edinburgh Science Festival. For those age 12 and above.

Parliament police are aware of the protest so I doubt there will be any aggressive or unsafe behaviour from any counter protests.
As morningtoncrescent62 says it would be counterproductive for the trans lobby to do that while the consultation is running.

I don't think there'll be a counter protest. I think the TRAs have realised it's not a good look to be harassing women, at least not while there's a consultation on and everyone's watching. Scottish Trans Alliance and the Equality Network are doing their darndest to appear reasonable, claiming they've always wanted to talk but us horrible women are intimidating them. I'm sure that'll change after the public consultation finishes, but for now they're cultivating the 'poor little us' look, and that doesn't sit well with unpleasant counter protesting.

Yes if I felt safe taking some of the kids it would be fine to get to.
How utterly appalling that it doesnt feel safe enough for children

Likewise. DH wanted to come but he'll have to have the kids. Maybe take them to Dynamic Earth or something.

If I can get childcare I'll be there, don't want to bring small person as I imagine there will be an unpleasant counter protest.

I'm very far from Edinburgh, but solidarity

I didn’t know about this & probably can’t make it. Bumping for others
