Women are still not allowed to gather and speak

I'm sure it was all for our own good.

Reminds me of the campaign for woman suffrage when women were considered too weak and feeble to vote but also when men threw stones at them and attempted to burn down their meeting rooms.

Why are these breaches happening in plain sight and none of the people with oversight are addressing them?

Plus the reporter said they'd asked a TRA representative to appear but they couldn't found anyone willing to speak.

But they did make a statement accusing WPUK of "calling the police to intimidate us" as if a threatening baying mob wasn't intimidating women and they should be allowed to do whatever they wanted.

Threatening people with violence is already a crime. They don't need to use a "hate crime" uplift to prosecute for it. But strangely enough, they don't ever bother.

Earlier, someone posted that one of the protestors said that WPUK's goal was to make it so that prejudice against trans people was no longer a hate crime

Is it? Not something I've heard at the 5 of their meetings I've been to. If you commit an actual crime, motivated by prejudice, that's what a hate crime is, eg when you beat someone up in the street for being gay or trans or whatever. What these people are trying to say is that they don't think people should be allowed to say that they don't believe in gender identity ideology.

Earlier, someone posted that one of the protestors said that WPUK's goal was to make it so that prejudice against trans people was no longer a hate crime (or something along those lines.) And it got me thinking...currently in the UK, if you abuse a trans person then that may qualify as a hate crime. But if you abuse a woman, that's not a hate crime at all. The video from the LGBT alliance confernece, which shows a man calling the transwoman a pervert etc could arguably be said to be a crime. But when women are chanted at, heckled, abused, called TERFS etc that doesn't even qualify as criminal at all.

Ova

Yes it occurred to me when I was writing it, that the Scottish government would probably blame the dead women and then pass laws to prevent 'transphobia'

@abhanmor I hope you you feel better soon xx

It is confusing when posters have similar names!

But Christinaxyz posts sensible, well thought out stuff and Cath- well, I can’t comment 😂

No surprise there.

I have thought for a long time that the government will only take action when a woman is killed for 'transphobia'

@Deliriumoftheendless sorry I get mixed up..also I have covid again 😅

WPUK say they have gained 800 new followers.

Love reading the ratio this asshat is getting. Endless and brilliant.

“Mate, have a word with yourself.”

Indeed. Where is Christina , Permanent , et al? They are probably in another part of the forest clutching their pearls about JK being a Russian spy or something.

How strange that the posters who came to the LGBA thread to scorn women because 2 males had an argument have nothing to say about a mob of misogynists abusing women as they spoke about domestic violence, FGM, forced abortion, female refugees, etc.

I'm totally not surprised they aren't here condemning this mob chanting ''you're a bunch of wankers'' to female survivors of male violence, as on the other thread they claimed they 'hate seeing women being abused'.

So where's the outrage for these women? Wrong type, are they?

I was quite amused by the whole thing. And now there's going to be toilets appropriate for all while providing single-sex toilets for women.

When you include quotes that are incomplete or just plain stupid like those here, the journalist indicates that he or she can indeed formulate correct sentences by including sic, usually in square brackets. Let's the reader know that yes, there's a mistake in the quote, but that's what the journalist got told. It's not his fault if it's nonsense, in other words. Of course my news writing professor would have given me an earful about failing to elicit something decent and my editor back when I was working at a daily paper would have refused to print this regardlessofhis opinion on the matter. But hey ho. It's 2022 and this is what goes for journalism in the information age.

And like those men at the meeting, many who see and hear this are disgusted at their actions.

What would it take to move them to take action? Talk to MPs? Respond to consultations? Complain to MEN? Talk to colleagues in the workplace and resist compelled actions and speech?
