'Protest' at EHRC HQ

I’m just happy to have a reminder to watch Nathan Barley again, thanks to these literal piss artists

I needed a change from all the Royal programming and was having a shitty day so I binge watched the whole series again yesterday (it's available on Channel 4 on demand). There are many relatable moments.

"<urinates> And now I'm vulnerable. <stop> And now I'm not vulnerable. <urinates> And now I'm vulnerable..."

We are truly in Nathan Barley times. On steroids.

I'm afraid I agree.

Crack on guys. Go for it. Let it all hang out.

Blimey! I'd say they are functioning FOR the GC case! Well done, them! Carry on!

I mean, all us ordinary people are going to look at that photo, and think, "Yep, sounds completely reasonable to me, if you are a man who is refused use of women's bogs, then you just have to piss in a bottle and pour it all over yourself. While wearing a thin cheapo dress. With an excited little dick." As you do!

Yes, please do carry on publicising this campaign!

Katey Mongomerie applauded & said the next protest would be worse.

im not sure what “worse” would be - crap your hands then clap?

But Matey is of course welcome to do that on camera to further the cause of proving it’s very wrong of the EHRC to (checks notes) uphold the law.

These aren't the actions of average, well adjusted adults, no.

How does someone even pee themselves in public voluntarily? Forcing people to wet themselves is used as a tool of torture because it’s so deeply humiliating. We have such an ingrained taboo, I can’t imagine being able to stand there and just pee your pants like that.

Didn't know about this protest and haven't read the thread but have just come across this article by Jo Bartosch on Spiked:

"Trans activists are taking the piss

That urine-soaked protest outside the EHRC might just be the nadir of the trans movement."

So we're Vice actually sponsoring it, if they had got a photographer in special to cover it?

Ah, I see. Not really committed support, then. Probably quite shrewd.

I think it was mentioned in Shown Faye's Instagram stories, which only last for 24 hours before they disappear.

Well. I went to try and find Shon Faye's supportive quote but can't find it. Deleted? .

Not saying it though....?

Important to find the courage to open handedly evidence it and then say flat out, no, not in our name, we absolutely do not support this behaviour and this person does not speak for me.

What can they really say, though? 'This person is transgressing boundaries and forcing others to participate unwillingly in a publically played out obscene fantasy'?

Luckily we have the images. Still up on Vice. And all the other performances - writhing with fish, drinking milk and oestrogen out of a condom, pulling pearls our of they's anus. Etc

They aren't that bad as far as student performance art goes! Own them! Well spoken person explores their own marginalisation fetish by creating lots of shocking mess for someone else to clean up.

They'd be absolutely right. Important to find the courage to open handedly evidence it and then say flat out, no, not in our name, we absolutely do not support this behaviour and this person does not speak for me.

Which is why I would really like the threats and abuse the guy in the period post to be made public. When they're not clearly stated it not only prevents people being able to make clear that behaviour like this is not an approved part of a political view, it leads to an impression that they may not actually exist. At least the evidence for this one is front and centre.

Haha, I was waiting for a it was the terfs what done it type response but there was none. They have said that it has set their cause back because of the public perception of the protest and has given us (gcs) a LOT of ammunition.

I am just waiting for any prominent group or activist though to say bluntly that this was a very wrong step on twitter....

Or has it happened and I missed it.

I mean, I offered Hearache that I would even help to promote this protest & the Barclay's 'big tits' episode far and wide because they have been so very confident that all publicity is great on the Barclays thread! But.... crickets.

Almost like even extreme activists realise that maybe this one was a fail! And makes the Barclay's episode start to look like what it is as well.

And they are struggling to spin it.

Did it even happen or was it
just made up by angry feminists?

obviously don’t look for evidence of this, just take my word for it. I mean I checked so you can stay safe.

something like that?

Well I'm sure it was TERFs' fault that it went wrong, right?

How long before they start saying TERFs did it?

I had a lurk on the UK trans subreddit and the majority of them seem to think that the piss protest has been a very bad idea. Deranged, perverted and bad optics have been mentioned. Not often I agree with them but yes lads, you are right.

That’s a shame.

I hope Wade isn’t a the biologically female version of non binary. We all know that the NB shield does shit all to help female people when male-bodied trans activists start getting angry.

(Gosh, you are correct, Bex does indeed take gorgeous photos:

www.bexwade.com/female-drummers

much better than anything by the piss artist person.)

Bex Wade describes themselves as a trans non-binary person. They were commissioned by Vice to photograph #PissGate, and it is Wade's photos which have graced the Twitter accounts of Monty, Alex Sharpe and other TRA's, seemingly working undercover to undermine the trans cause.

Wades photos of course have been adopted by the GC movement and are already being posted across numerous Twitter threads. Which was probably not the result Wade, or Vice, were seeking.

Wades's Twitter account is now in 'protected' mode. They're web site isn't and it should be noted that Wade is I think, actually a bloody good photographer. In the 'Drummers' section my husband has noted a photograph of Nick Mason he'd want to buy. What is missing are Wades #PissGate photos, though they might be the copyright of Vice.

It isn't inconceivable that the TRA's/incels have identified Wade as a quisling, seeing the damage that #PissGate has done to the trans cause. Which poses a problem for Wade is that their work, which used be based on the LBG clubs until the 'T' killed them off (particularly those dedicated to lesbians) has been focused on protests.

The ripple effects of #PissGate haven't finished yet and likely won't for a few months.
