Hi all I can't see a thread about this conference next week in London (QEII). Lots of great speakers including Maya introducing Allison Bailey! Is anyone going? I'm considering going to some of it. Any idea if there will be protestors outside? My (elderly) mum is going.

@NecessaryScene

Took me a bit to figure out that wasn't a deliberate parody, that was a serious automated attempt to caption that protest.

You're a bunch of white creatures
you do not understand
Kevin, right?
And that's why you're all bad.

I used Google's automated captioning for it as well. What's fascinating is that because Google's is constantly adapting, you rarely get the same transcription again. I played it through 3 times and once they caught the word 'preacher' but the other 2x it was just as bizarre as the Tweeter's automated captions.

@RedDogsBeg

There's a short article in the DM, sorry can't link, about the PM's letter to the LGBA which contains these lines:

Last night, the group said it had also been invited to a meeting in Downing Street, where members had been told they had a lot of support really high up.

Asked about the letter, the PM’s spokesman said: ‘The Government is clear that biology matters and there are different health needs between the sexes.

No doubt one side will be apoplectic.

Quite shameful how the trans activist has no care or concern for the deaf person though. So rude, inconsiderate and unwilling to accommodate other people. I guess that kind of defines the movement.

Grin“You do not have permission to use my video.” They posted it to social media. What do they expect? TRA Twitter is losing it. They look so petulant.

It's highly amusing watching Twitter lose their shit over this. The desperation to shut up the LGB Alliance is so palpable.

They will do anything to frame the LGBA as similar to the 'Muslamic Ray Guns' type racist groups, but they are struggling to get the traction needed. They are pulling more and more shit out of their arses and flinging it with increasing fury against the wall in the hope that some of it sticks.

That video linked above is funny!

That is outrageous that someone tweeted a photo of people explicitly not consenting to public photos. I was wearing a pink lanyard specifically not to be in photos.

I was really careful in all the photos I took of speakers to crop out audience members even from behind so as not to have anyone identifiable.

JulesRimetStillGleaming · 22/10/2021 01:44

Can't believe I didn't think to check Mumsnet for a thread on this until now.

I was there and it was a great day. Hi to anyone I spoke to from Mumsnet without realising!

KittenKong · 21/10/2021 22:34

In sniggering at a tweet that said something along the lines of “but there is c** in narcissist“🤣.

I’m stealing that

Cwenthryth · 21/10/2021 22:19

@KittenKong

And a disco (no Cisco apparently).
Wonder if that child even bothered to look up what “Cisco” actually is in the real world before they drew that sign 😂 it’s right up there with “No Cis In Team”.

Aside from the obvious fact that, by definition, at a meeting of hundreds of people that reject gender, there are no cis people there…..why are they protesting against cis people anyway? Targeting people for their gender identity “matching” their sex doesn’t seem a particularly progressive thing to do anyway?

@MingeofDeath

TRAs never seem to consider that going to an event doesnt necessarily mean that the attendee agrees with what is being said. Someone might be full on TWAW/TMAN and still attend in order to hear the arguments of the other side.
I`m not sure they are grown up enough to understand this.

@EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn

It was a fantastic day with some magnificent speeches. And the veggie lunch option -salad, quiche & sandwiches - was one of the best I’ve ever had.
My kind of conference.
ARoombaOfOnesOwn · 21/10/2021 20:42

Or do they save all eggs for throwing?

I think so, they can’t be wasted on eating.

FlyingOink · 21/10/2021 20:41

It was a really successful event, I hope we have something else to attend before next year's conference. LGB Alliance did a great job.
It was very well put together, great venue, great security, great speakers. I'm annoyed I left my glossy programme behind but hey. Here's to next year.

Saltovinegar · 21/10/2021 20:37

So there is no LGB without the T according to the protesters but why would anyone LGB align themselves with people shouting scum at them?

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 21/10/2021 20:19

Only fascists eat quiche.

Do antifa eat (vegan) egg and (vegan) bacon pie? Or frittata? Or do they save all eggs for throwing?

The clips from the speeches are informative and rousing by turns.

ARoombaOfOnesOwn · 21/10/2021 20:04

Knew it. Only fascists eat quiche.
