'Stewart McDonald, Kirsten Oswald, Kaukab Stewart and Alison Thewliss were at the Glasgow protest to support the trans community and stand up for Scotland's democracy.'

That's them standing in front of a sign that says 'decapitate terfs'.

Again, I'm genuinely fucking shocked. This inflammatory, violent rhetoric is not acceptable.

It's all a bit, "Christ! They've seen us! Oh! A big boy-girl dunnit and run away, honest,!' isn't it?

Imposter?

In the words of V McPollard…

I am afraid that although it is all in plain site, because the target of this hate and threatened violence, is women nothing will come of it.

After all its just banter.

To quote Mandy Rice-Davies : They would say that wouldn't they

If they were an imposter surely the good souls in that demo would have had them and their sign removed, it would not have been showcased at the special event for making signs either.

I can smell the bullshit from here - note to all those claiming this bullshit about imposters, didn't see it, etc., your pants are on fire.

It would appear it doesn't occur to them to actually check other sources, or even just more of Twitter before denying someone is part of your group. Why wasn't their sign ripped up and put in the bin at the sign making session then???

It is quite eyeopening to see that apparently that decapitate sign is being held and was made by some imposter. Because it was not someone in that movement.

An article from last year on the SNP 'Equalities Officer': 'In now deleted posts, Downing said he wanted to “beat the f out of some terfs and transphobes” and in another claimed: “I f* hate terfs and transphobes with such a passion.”'

There have been a lot of disingenuous men on Twitter saying terfs don't have to be women, it's a sex neutral term, but I wonder why he chose to use both "terfs" and "transphobes"? 🤔

Do males dish out rape and choke-on-my-dick threats to other males? If so, is it at all at the same rate as the threats so routinely made to women?

But, yeah. We all know what's going on. That's why they hate us so much. We see the abusive males for who they are.

I saw one dafty pretending that the F in TERF has always meant 'fascist' and not 'feminist'. They're really sweating now their violent hatred and abuse of women is finally getting media attention.

They never expected this to not go their way. They never expected to have to answer for anything they have ever said or done.

It must be quite a strain all this mental gymnastics their brains are having to do to try to justify their appalling behaviour.

In fact, it may be here from the time but wasn't noticed? Zoom in on third shot:

Never mind the sign does back have you read the sign on the t shirt kid the woman right next to her.

It basically says SHUT UP

Reportedly, there was a photo attended to by SNP comms, from Glasgow Pride with Sturgeon in front of a "no TERFS allowed" banner. Furthermore, said report allegedly seems to have elicited the photo previously believed to have been attended to:

It's been an enlightening weekend for the "right side of history" lot to show people who they really are - violence threatening, sexually abusive terrorists aided and abetted by a number of politicians.

And after this to just blindly follow without questioning what is being done by the activists you are quite happy to cheer on shutting down women from speaking,

I didn't realise, but that's nothing to do with this that's just one person with one sign(in amongst hundreds who thought nothing wrong with it) doesn't cut it anymore.

Since the police are the enforcers of boundaries and the word 'no', I think attempts to build trust are probably a little naiive.

Boiledbeetle · 22/01/2023 19:25

There's to much stuff out there fur them all to continue with the i know nothing i saw nothing line.

We know they are lying. You can't have managed to use any social media over the last few years, eespecially if you are in politics and not seen the shit levelled at the women who dared to deviate from bow down to the penis.

From that article:

"The spokesman would not confirm how many complaints they had received about the banners or whether their enquiries were being pursued as potential hate crimes."

But also:

"Scottish police chiefs recently ordered an action plan to build links with the transgender community amid concerns over a lack of trust in officers.

They have also earmarked £55,000 for a new campaign to prevent hate crimes. The force confirmed it was concerned about the “lack of trust” from the trans community."

Let me guess. All that was needed for this, was fact-free hyperbole.

While at the same time...

www.sundaypost.com/fp/misogyny-in-police-scotland/

The only visible thing that Police Scotland seem to have done to address 'decades of institutional misogyny' is a campaign to plead for men to maybe say something if someone is making horrific rapey and violent comments about women. The vast majority of the recommendations in the report have not been put into action.

Police Scotland are also institutionally racist. But the Government likes that to be covered up -

The Times article was a bit bland. It didn’t explain the nature of the stickers so it made them look somehow equivalent.
