This is horrifying. Women (lesbians) told by police they are going to be removed because abuse is being hurled at these women.

Police do nothing about the person shouting the abuse.

The police are idiots. The plan has worked. They are nothing more than " heavies" working for tras.

If having to throw lesbians out of pride parads for stating their same sex attraction doesn't make them realise what they have become then nothing will.

I was just talking to dd about the pride event she attended

she saiid there were some religious types with placards telling everyone they were going to hell i asked if theyd been moved on by police and she said no…

i told her about the police removing these women

That person telling them to 'fuck off' is a woman?

Just to be clear, the old fashioned 'cunty' kind?

No! Really!

Really can't tell on a 'phone screen.

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 28/08/2022 09:44

so many posts are calling her a trans woman and she’s not happy about it

is she not?

shame

Tirediam · 28/08/2022 09:24

@XiXimXerJinping yes it is 😊 she is AWESOME. And I know the girl yelling at her… she now identifies as non binary but so many posts are calling her a trans woman and she’s not happy about it (friends on fb.. she doesn’t know I’m on the side of get the L out). She was spouting all day about how the group were transphobic and basically everyone is transphobic. Eyeroll

Whatiswrongwithmyknee · 28/08/2022 08:51

This does rather put to be the ridiculous notion that I've heard some TRAs say - that men suddenly experience all the oppression which women have grown up with and continue to experience when they put on a dress, doesn't it?

Andrew Doyle summed it up well, explains very clearly what the issues are:

That was very clear

im confused as to how 10 women ‘stopped’ the march….I thought from that policeman video that the women were marching as well

I think Pride is just a corporate virtue signalling display now that has been trans dominated and has very little to do with sexual orientation. Self appointed committees who put males first organise it and I am more inclined to ignore it. Pride month was ages ago anyway. Did Wales not get the memo? It's attention seeking for narcissists now

Cardiff's Pride event has always been held in late August/early September, as have many others in other UK cities. Pride month hasn't always been widespread, and it's only in the past ten years that they've thrown rainbows at everything in June. Previously it was just the Stonewall riots being recognised every June rather than a full on month.

I've found it interesting the news outlets that have and haven't reported on this, not many surprises there. Local papers have said SWP released a statement after an "incident" but put no further details. I'm waiting to hear from some friends that attended, I'll be interested to hear what they say - some are fully signed up to the gender bullshit.

NotBadConsidering · 28/08/2022 08:18

Why were they counter protesting?

Because they are lesbians.

Why do they need to protest their same sex attraction?

Because they are lesbians who find themselves in the ridiculous situation where declaring themselves as same sex attracted is a protest.

Why were they abused for their protest - AT PRIDE?

Because they are lesbians who exclude males and hence fair game to be abused. At PRIDE.

Everything they experienced was because they are lesbians.

Nellodee · 28/08/2022 07:34

I think it’sa bit disingenuous to say they were thrown out for being lesbian when they went straight to the front of the march with banners that they knew would draw this kind of reaction. The reaction was presumable totally expected. I support their right to be there, I think they are brave protesters and this is a visible and well planned protest. I also think the way they were treated stands in stark contrast to the way black clad tras were treated by the police. However, I don’t think they were thrown out for being lesbian, they were thrown out for counter protesting. They weren’t just taking part in the march with different opinions. I almost think that would be even better publicity if they just joined quietly at the back, as I think the outcome would be the same and it would really highlight the bigotry of the rest of the crowd and the police, but who am I to criticise? At least they’re out there, doing something that matters.

Thanks for this link, Ereshkigalangcleg. It's calm, clear and factual.

Another day, another video to show me how the world is going nuts.
Lesbians having to explain what same sex attraction is, what is going on 🤦🏼‍♀️

IcakethereforeIam · 27/08/2022 23:31

Write up of incident on Reduxx with a statement from Pride Cymru, to which they have restricted replies:

FemaleAndLearning · 27/08/2022 22:36

Amazing women with great placards. It all seems so bloody obvious (lesbians don't like penis) but it has to said and I'm glad they held up the parade whilst the police dithered.

Helleofabore · 27/08/2022 22:35

Who thenwaited with patience in the boiling sun to be allowed to continue.

You didn’t see the video then? Patience? Yelling and screaming at lesbians who have been excluded?

How very inclusive of pride? To now exclude some of the people who were there from the beginning and they don’t seem to see this as a problem.

Normally I agree, but in that sort of crowd, he would have had the general public turn on him

So ... the police are being led by a form of terrorism, effectively.

What I witnessed from about 10 meters away is that a very small group of about 10 people stopped a march of thousands

Wow! Fewer than a dozen lesbians stopped thousands of people. They must be the toughest dykes in the world.

lesbians rock.

Those lesbians certainly do rock! Imagine! A small group of lesbians stopping a whole march!

And yet, no one takes any notice of what they are saying…. It is amazing to see activists not understand how the optics look to people who are not deeply entrenched in their ideology.

I feel for the police because no matter what they did, they would have been wrong

The police should protect the more vulnerable party. Not the loudest and most entitled. It's not difficult for them at all.

In all honesty? I feel for them too. When the meetings are held, like the one recently held about the mess they made with a similar situation where TRAs kicked off against female people publicly wanting to talk about their biology and the fact of sex, the police will be uncomfortably aware of these issues and none of this will have happened with deliberate ill intent.

But the facts stand.

They are all wandering around wearing partisan political symbols - a trap they blundered into with a lot of largely good intentions and naivety to how they were being politically manipulated. And the evidence is available that the manipulation was quite intentional and planned.

They are repeatedly falling into the trap in trying to manage a situation of actually letting the quieter, easier, and always bloody female group come off worst.

They are repeatedly demonstrating partisan policing in their actions.

And they are waking up to this far, far too slowly.

So all strength to the brave women who are strong enough to walk into situations where they are intentionally letting those all too happy to demonstrate vile behaviour and intimidation and anti-female, homophobic politics show their colours and let the police make a public mess of it, and because of their guts things will eventually shift. I admire them, I really do. They are letting peaceful protest do what it was designed to do. And all the TRA need to do to thwart them is smile, welcome them, join arms and march with them, support the right of females to be same sex attracted and say so alongside females who want to be homogenderal and TQ+. Be inclusive. As opposed to screaming abuse and threats.

But this has come about through females being too patient. Too generous. Too accommodating. And as is so often to said to women in low level abusive situations on the relationship boards you have to stop being the easier party to upset . The situation is being controlled by a political group who know when they throw a damn great tantrum their behaviour unfortunately ends in a desperate grown up handing them sweets to make them stop.

This has to stop.

Transwomen seem to really hate that, and with the world as it is, they seem to get the last word in don’t they

Yes and the police enable them - as do so many others (see also the Hampstead ladies swimming pool fiasco).
