'Protest' at EHRC HQ

I agree with ‘power move’

male mammals scent marking with urine as a display of dominance is defo a thing.

I've seen very few. Most of us will recognise these TRAs:

I thought this one was a Titania McGrath style spoof at first, but on second look the profile seems real?

this timeline is proper weird.

*losing single sex, apologies for typos

No options? Nobody has forced anyone to wear a see through frock or pour piss on their head.

That's a decision made entirely by this person, and encouraged by Vice who call it 'exciting'.

Women faced with loaing aingle aex spaces have written to their MPs, donated what they could do various crowdfunders, and on occasion tied ribbons to things.

There are other options than naked piss protests.

As a result it will fail spectacularly. No one anywhere can possibly look at this 'protest' and feel anything other than revulsion and disgust.

well, you say that, but …

Moley is brilliant! Cracks me up.

I'm not sure shower is the appropriate word in this situation!

Moley 🤣

The only problem is that so many are not wishing to keep their heads down and live their lives at all rufus, quite the reverse, and in the process they are literally pissing all over the campaign and ruining what little public support is left, blowing up the original goal of integrating and acceptance. It has been taken over by violent, bitter men whom have turned the whole thing into a vicious and hateful campaign against women.

As a result it will fail spectacularly. No one anywhere can possibly look at this 'protest' and feel anything other than revulsion and disgust.

Trans ducks ARE ducks.

We are told to accept people for what they present to the world.

Acceptance, no exceptions.

I presume it's being used in the same way that some LGB have tried to destigmatise the insult 'queer' by adopting it themselves. There are some words, like the N word, that only people who've had it used against them as an insult can legitimately use.

Years ago when no one thought single-sex events were anything to worry about, I put together a leaflet publicising a couple of lesbian-only events, including a lesbian biking group called Dykes on Bikes. We had an arrangement with one of the unions that if their print room had spare capacity they would do our printing for us at cost. I sent then pdf off to be printed up and it was returned with a horrified note that the print room staff had had equalities training and had decided 'dyke' was an insult and were refusing to print it. Fortunately Pronta-Print weren't fussy...

That's what I thought J Yaniv was. Difficult to believe that JY is genuine.

Most trans people are not pouring piss everywhere and surely don't support this?

no absolutely not, as we’ve said many times most transpeople just want to keep their heads down and live their lives…..I can’t actually believe anyone is supporting it

I wonder if this might make young girls on til tok and Instagram duckfacing in all their pictures and videos think twice?

I do hope so. Just be yourselves people.

It isn't really surprising that our arguments about "dignity" and "privacy" don't make much of an impact with this lot when you look at this.

I thought trannies was a word that we are not allowed to say? If even their own allies are calling saying this word, is it now fair game?

Not that I've ever personally used that word. I'm curious as to why it was banned in the first place.

"Duck Face".

Honestly. What a shower.

Thanks, I had a look at the reddit. I really do feel for the few rational voices on there trying to point out how unhelpful this type of protest is.

And the fact is that despite supportive comments on how attention grabbing this is, it really hasn't made the news.

Hoping that the call on Reddit to consider justifications for violent protest on there are similarly ignored....

And thus, and for ever more, the Trans Toilets Piss Protester became known as The Transgender Toilet Duck…

A question for Helen Islan:

Where on the 'losing your shit scale' does suing a charity stand?

And we've also been told, over and over, that anyone is trans who says they are.

It is always good to remember that.

Not even trans people seem to remember that. They then say, well… except for that person…

You mean toilet duck to clean up the toilet duck.

I mean, why else a duck face?

Poe's Law comes to mind

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture saying that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, every parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.
