Incoming Pity Party alert....

I'm very sorry to hear, that, WORIADS and I hope that you're out of action for the shortest possible time. Get well!

Have a great time, you lovely terves. I shall be following online.

Worthy I am so sorry, epilepsy is a tricksy bugger. Boo at the fancy septum ring/loo thing.

I'm going too!!

I'm going! Suspect the train from Edinburgh will be terf mayhem 😂

That's a shame Worthy 😥Hope you feel better soon.

Incoming Pity Party alert....

I can't go now and I am so fucked off. I was going up on the train today and staying at DDs overnight. I have been SO looking forward to it, meeting so many like minded women inc fabulous MNetters and actually getting our voices heard (as well as seeing my DD of course!) I was also so excited to be travelling independently by myself which is a big deal as it's the first time in a few years that my epilepsy has finally been controlled enough for me to do something like this unaccompanied and all by myself. You can probably see where this is going...yep, big seizure yesterday and dislocated my shoulder and fucked some ribs. So fucking disappointed. I was looking forward to it so much (and ofc it's one less woman there when we want and need as many as possible!)

Plus Ive cried and blown my nose so much that when I blew my nose again in the bathroom before, my favourite fancy gold septum ring (put in specially for the weekend) fell out and went down the toilet. That bit sounds ridiculous doesn't it. FML.

I shall be with you in spirit.

On the M6 now just changed drivers. 4 of us coming. Really looking forward to it. The Standing for Women stewards are fab and totally on the ball. It may be loud if the protesters are allowed too close. Incredible they call us fascists when they don't want our voices heard. So you may not hear much but I go for the atmosphere and to support and watch it on you tube later.

For those worrying you will be well looked after, I love chatting to the other women (and blokes), it's so interesting seeing what peaked people. I totally understand my first one was worrying (Nottingham) but gets easier with each one (I've been to Manchester, Brighton, Cardiff and London).

See you there!

Me too! No dungs this time though :)

Wow, a big thread of attenders - I’m going too!

Good luck everyone. I'm sure the police will be on the ball by this time. Don't forget to bring a saltire. The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 flag is not the property of the misogynists any more than the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 flag is of football hooligans.

ELOISE, I’m sure DD would be delighted to say hello to any of our fellow Terven! She was v chuffed when KJK remembered her from Edinburgh, on her phone in.

@Babdoc I think I saw your Dd at the demo at Holyrood last year, at least I’m assuming it was her from the signs the she was carrying from her group ( if you know what I mean ).

But I thought it might just be ever so slightly weird to go up and say so 🫢

DD is going. She is krav maga trained, so more than able to tackle any transactivists who turn violent, bless her!

7 degrees?
Positively balmy, coats optional, I think .
I'll be there, travelling with friends, sticking together for safety.

I'm not too worried about violence at this event. Why? The police will be on the ball with keeping the groups separate, like the last LWS. This one is VERY public and the TRAs have belatedly realised that their violence and aggression actually put people against them; they do our work for us and show themselves up blatently every time.

Also, the recent disgraceful 'rapists in womens prisons' debacle has newly mass peaked huge numbers of Scottish people and if they see TRAs screaming at women, they're going to be up front about their displeasure at the bullying and silencing tactics.
All in all it'll be a good day for democracy.

@WorthyOfRespectInADemonicSociety

Really? Oh. Brilliant 😑

I think the more the public sees of the trans activists and the ridiculous furries the more they will be disgusted/incredulous at how this nonsense as got so far. Shame on our politicians and those in the media who have been hiding.

I think there will be more incels than actual furries there. Hopefully way more women than either.

I’d also like to point out that the weather is forecast to be 7 degrees , dry with sunny intervals and a gentle breeze, which has been arranged especially for those of you coming up for England, to make you feel welcome in Glasgow 😀

I will be there too.

@GromblesofGrimbledon I understand both events will be in George Square now.

@MargaritaPie I actually would like to meet you if you go. I would love to finally get an answer from you as to how "one lives as a woman" and whether you truly genuinely believe in your head that Isla Bryson is a woman? Maybe we can get the answers face to face, and for now you could park all your merailing on another thread and you know, let women speak on this one? If you feel able to finally answer those questions I will happily set up a separate thread.

Anyway, as we were...

I mean Most of the women here will be on the side of ‘no violent male rapists in female spaces’. But I think it’s fab @MargaritaPie has the courage of their convictions to publicly state they want to shut up women complaining about this. I’d take lots of water @MargaritaPie , those fur suits get very warm…

I can just picture @MargaritaPie in a fur suit..I’m thinking squirrel as Maggie seems to have an aosessiom with them.

I'm sure we would love to meet you if you're happy to listen and talk with us and not simply shout over women who are gathering to speak.

If not, the Standing for Women gathering is in George Square. There is another gathering in Glasgow Green on the same day. Perhaps you're muddling them up. Thankfully they're quite far apart from each other so it would be difficult to accidentally wander to the wrong place.

I'm In Edinburgh so would love to go but working. Wishing you all safe travels and a safe day

I may attend.

I don't suppose I will be meeting and greeting anyone here since we will likely be on opposing sides?
