Just announced last night - after a three year gap (no doubt partly due to covid pandemic) another conference at UCL in London, organised by UCL Women's Liberation Special Interest Group and WPUK. FiLiA and Southall Black Sisters also involved. Anyone thinking of going? buytickets.at/womansplaceuk/817449

I’ve just booked!

Also going alone and nervous.

I’ve been an armchair terf for a few years now, so this is my first foray into coming out (so to speak).

Excited.

I would like to go but suffer social anxiety due to ASD. Does anyone know if you are expected to verbally participate in the workshops?

Not at all. With this sort of conference you just sit there and listen unless you actively want to ask a question. There are also quiet rooms available to withdraw to if you need time out.

Doing the M gesture while humming the YMCA tune? might be overdoing it a bit …

How about one fingerless glove 😂

We need a Mumsnet badge! I’d like to recognise/ be recognised by other vipers.

I'd like that too. Secret hand movement? Nose scratching? Showing an ankle?

I've just booked and am going on my own. Looks really interesting. Thanks for posting about this.

Ok good to know everyone - I’m nervous too but hoping for a good day and to hear some leading terfs speak!

SideboardOfLove · 02/02/2023 22:30

Yes I'm going! First time at this kind of event and a bit nervous 😂

KatMcBundleFace · 02/02/2023 20:35

I usually go with friends, but not this time. To be honest, you normally end up separated. It's all very very friendly.

Can't wait!

I’m going alone.

Buffypaws · 02/02/2023 18:29

I’ve got a ticket but will be on my Todd. Anyone know if that’s usual for this type of thing? Never been before.

Ofcourseshecan · 27/01/2023 15:50

Just bought my ticket. Thanks for the link!

Thanks for this. Yes, the last one was just a couple of weeks before the covid lockdown.

Yep. Will definitely be going.
