Standing for Women Glasgow 5th Feb

Am I remembering wrong then? I thought it certainly was capitalised at one point, some years ago. But could be misremembering!

Beside the point, really. Loath to give too much oxygen/attention.

Sinnerboy It has been discussed widely before......

I have often wondered if "Pie" was deliberate, even though it's not capitalised.

😁and the TRAs certainly can't have an issue with that explanation surely?

Especially as unlike the TRA decapitate terfs sign wielding man, (who as can be seen from the many photos made it in a pub! With lots of other TRAs who had plenty of opportunity to get the sign removed). this MAN didn't appear to be with a group of people going to watch women speak, and was told to put his sign down/leave.

But yeah they'll throw it back at her for ever. KJK will forever be responsible for that man's sign in a public square, despite giving the politicians in the decapitate Terfs sign a completely free pass.

Well quite. That is a very deliberate username choice. Says it all really.

Yes, sly digs which mostly miss!

Has Mittens the Tuk Tuk Warrior been identified yet?

I report Pie now. Had enough of their nonsense, smears and outright lies.

*DIGS

Little dogs are great, sly or not.

Yeah. The times when he's just having sly little dogs though can be safely ignored. Mind you, that's most of his posts.

Nehanda (love her!) confronted Mittens the Tuk Tuk Attacker.

The chances of the connotations being unknown to that user are nil, imho.

Ignoring Pie is absolutely the best choice.

I think that, were we to do so, casual readers may think that he has a point, if he goes unanswered. It's always easy to rebut his "points" and to link more up to date statistics and information, showing his bad faith writing.

It's ridiculous how the TRAs are trying to blow this up into something, the sign was behind Kellie-Jay and she doesn't have eyes in the back of her head.

I wouldn't care about Marg using "GCs" if they could even say what they think it means. Marg thinks it means anything Marg wants it to mean. It doesn't.

Marg is extremely muddled and has been given plenty of chances to actually just explain what they think. They can't even manage that. Not worth bothering with.

Just in case it comes up (Willoughby has tweeted about it at least), the man holding the "Gaystapo' sign was told to take it down by other attendees.

I've seen a lot of people complaining about the term GC. But I was advised to use it - about 4 years ago - because Terf had become a slur , @Helleofabore ?

It's not the GC that's the issue, we all use that for short hand it's the dehumanising 'genders criticals' it's as bad as when some people call transpeople 'transgenders'.

It's used as an insult. And some posters have a propensity to insult so keep using it.

Marg also uses 'GCs'.

To be clear there is a significant difference in using 'gender critical people' to 'gender criticals'. Just like using 'trans people' and not 'transes'.

I am not complaining about 'gender critical' Abhannmor, I have reported for the way it is used.

Marg uses it as a dehumanising label - by using it as a noun not as an adjective. The equivalent is the 'transes' or 'transgenders'. I know on other platforms many people do it, but it is not allowed here and I don't know if any regular posters would even use it if it was.

Marg uses 'gender criticals' or 'gender crits' and dehumanises people they don't agree with. They then laugh at things thrown or sprayed at women because to Marg they are not human, you can see this through their writing. If you describe people in non-human terms, violence against them is all too easy to dismiss.

This has been discussed with Marg for months now. Marg knows exactly what they are doing.

I find this article by The National extremely interesting. It looks pretty fairly balanced. Not something we see very often from The National. 🤔

www.thenational.scot/news/23300695.glasgow-gender-critical-rally-met-trans-activist-counter-protest/

They describe the rally as opposing the GRR bill not as anti trans. Are they seeing which way the wind is blowing? Have they have some steer from higher up in the SNP?

Was Glinner really staying in the Furry Hotel or was that just a prank?

It was brilliant. The turn out was about half of George Square. We were definitely the larger crowd.
It was amazing being there and listening to women speak.
Hopefully the photo has posted. It shows the whole top floor of a whetherspoon pub that many of us went back to afterwards. It was amazing speaking to so many women and sharing views. There's a video on twitter showing everyone singing womens rights are human rights but I'm rubbish and can't share it yet.
I now have a slight hangover and have to entertain my 6 yr old who I forgot was off school due to strike! Well worth it though!

For me, I think I am going to start reporting the use of 'gender criticals'. Because it really getting very clear that some posters are doing it to deliberately dehumanise others.

Apologies . Ignoring Pie is absolutely the best choice.
