Me and a friend went along to this Regional Speaker's Corner event today. I was surprised there weren't more protesters, to be honest.

It was great to meet KJ in the flesh, she is truly awesome.

The weather was foul, so the event wasn't as long as the Reformer's Tree ones, the attached video is under 40 minutes long

This part of the livestream - starts at 11.08 ish - where the two TW behind her do not know what to do with themselves. It almost looks the penny begins to drop for cream hat TW. I don't think they are used to being told that they are anything other than stunning and brave.

It was great to meet so many like minded people in the flesh. The activists were like toddlers and seemed to be directed by the middle aged man in the red jacket.
Posie was brilliant and the best thing? I now have met real people I can meet up locally to share information, discuss issues, share books, plan activism and have a good natter. ,"Let women talk" was such a powerful counter protest to trans rights are human rights.
The activists were asked what rights they wanted and the only thing they could think of was the right not to be murdered. Posie calmly told them the stats and someone tried to bring Brazil into it and she told them straight it was zero (since 2009, I couldn't hear very well) in the UK compared to 3 women a week.

I'm so glad I went and look forward to hearing about more regional events.

I did laugh when someone in the crowd shouted to the activists to go home and do their homework. I would be very cross if I was the mother of that boy who shouted "stop being a victim" to the wonderful woman who spoke about her rape. Rape that took place not because she identified as a woman but because she is a woman.

I'm sure it's highly irritating, but it's actually quite effective engaging them in conversation and ask them questions. Because they've got fuck all. And it shows.

The best bit was the two TRAs in the bobble hats behind Kellie Jay - they clearly incredulous that Kellie would be so rude and obviously have never been spoken to like that by a woman before. Their faces were priceless!

I live in Nottingham - I'm glad I decided to stay at home

His parents must be so proud.

I spent some time talking to a young TM. We had a perfectly civil conversation but it left me feeling very sad.

My favourite bit was KJK telling one of them to shut up. She looked like she'd been told off by her mum. FAF

This protester told a speaker who shared their experience of sexual assault that she was "playing victim".
