I've just seen this on twitter.

Seeing as though mumsnet are their target market, this is very foolish of them.

The windows would have been panned in and those doing the smashing would call the police to complain about ‘sharp items’ hidden behind transphobic messages.

Imagine the hoo ha if shops put Adult human female flags or suffragette colours in their windows when there was a trans conference nearby.

It would be Noel Edmonds getting married somewhere labelled "the Church of Crinkley Bottom", and we'd have to explain that Crinkley Bottom wasn't a real place.

That would definitely be a gotcha (Oscar)

Marge's posts certainly aren't gotchas.

They merely identify as gotchas.

They put a trans-pride flag at their window, yes.

Is this all this is about?

Funny how there wasn't one there before a conference about VAWG, and there isn't there one after.

But then there's always "but what about the menz?" whenever women try to speak up about their issues, isn't there?

I’m now thinking Marg is one of those Twitter accounts that post “on this day in 1997 Noel Gallagher married Meg Matthews” with a picture of Parker and Lady Penelope from Thunderbirds and she just held off posting a photo of the Nuremberg Rally or the audience of 3-2-1 from 1981 because it would be too stupid.

Oh right you mean you're screenshotting for Marge to have a gotcha, with ya now.
Other viewpoints aren't always gotchas you know though.

I suppose we ought to be grateful the trans flags were only hanging in shops and restaurants/pubs etc. And the terf stickers were just stuck all around.
I've just seen what happened to Maya and Helen last night. Loads of brave blokes in balaclavas with their "totally not trying to intimidate" women flags, screaming terfs at two women having a pint in the pub.

So brave! So stunning!

Thats why is best to read the whole thread before posting.
I have - still not sure why you'rei automatically assuming another poster is going to screenshot me clucking as a gotcha though.
Or is it just because they don't agree with you either, so they must be screenshotting and up to no good? 🙄

If you know, you know. If you don’t, maybe ask some TRA to explain it you you. Or maybe Marg will oblige 😀

Screenshots it so marge can use it later as a gotcha
Actually not a clue what you're going on about now, sorry 😬

I do love Marge’s gotchas. They add a certain spice to threads 😂😂😂

I'd much rather live in 2022 where gay and trans people can have rights and marry etc and see flags supporting LGBT people having rights

Oh ffs where to start - as a gay person living in 2022, I'm watching the TQ+ part of the letter string remove my rights at high speed, so no, as a gay person I'm not celebrating and I have very very little pride left at all because of the utter mess being created

compared to how life was for LGBT people in the not-too-distant past.

Trust me darling, in the 90s it was way, way, way better. We were allowed to be homosexual for a start, and people weren't committing safeguarding disasters and blaming it on us. You're kidding yourself, you really are.

I'm not a TRA just because I have an alternate view 🙄
And I am a woman too - you are actually aware we don't all think the same, right?!

You say you’re a woman? How do you know? Apparently no one can define woman so how do you know you are one. You may be a chicken for all you know.

"Women gathering for a feminist conference are righty complaining about being trolled by retailers, who have no business getting involved in this kind of political messaging."

Are you referring to the recent LGBA meeting? It seems to be equally split amongst men and women, there are photos circulating on Social Media such as this one.

And how can you possibly accuse retailers of accusing gender critical people/LGB-Alliance members of "being trolled" just by putting up an LGBT/trans flag?

I'd much rather live in 2022 where gay and trans people can have rights and marry etc and see flags supporting LGBT people having rights compared to how life was for LGBT people in the not-too-distant past.

Errr…. Umm…… I’m actually cringing for you bless you @marg

Extremist for saying I don't see a problem with a shop having a trans flag in the window .🙄
Ok then 🙄

That just so happened to be put up when there was a Feminist Conference in the City, how very convenient.

What has a trans flag got to do with a Feminist Conference? Why the need to put it up and tell shopkeepers there was an anti-trans meeting going on? Let's hear your defence of that?

You say it's not all about women and yet TRAs sure as hell want to make everything all about them.

Someone holding trans extremist views? anti women views? defending the indefensible? that better?

"Not everything is always about you" says a TRA to women. That really made me laugh. 😂😂

How amazing to hear that some shops when hearing they have been lied to took the flags down.

I really am finding it outstanding that we have posters on this thread a) putting up pics they have not checked (ie. If they were posted by anyone saying that was the LGB Alliance conference, doesn’t that give you pause??? Why the lie?) b) supporting a person lying to other businesses to get a trans flag up in the window, c) despite being told on other threads still have posters using dehumanising language against feminists.

It doesn’t surprise me, but those posters cannot understand that if they cannot see the dishonesty in these instances, what else are they missing. They don’t seem to be able to recognise dishonesty when it is right there in front of them.

But they are on the right side of history apparently….
