And the reports make it sound like the furries were just as big in number!

I thought it looked pretty even checking the webcam throughout the event.

These are small 🐄
and these are far away 🐄

I'm glad people were entertained by the furry outfits, but aren't Gender Criticals the side who dress up in inflatable dinosaur outfits? Is that still a thing?

They don't make it a lifestyle though do they?

You aren't half serving up some weak sauce in this thread. It's painful to read.

I think this must have been taken early on. The TRA event started at 11 and ours scheduled for 12. It was about 12.20 before it really started. There was no stage (so speakers only visible for front rows - hogged by photographers at the beginning). There were many people up on the monuments.

The overhead photo is timestamped (bottom right corner) and was taken at 12.53pm.

He was jeering the other day about what a tiny crowd she pulls.

Erm...awkward.

I just imagine him having to take his paws off to keep typing another prod. It washes over you after a while and he can just be tuned out.

And I'll repeat that: Posie's milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

Admittedly I am so very disappointed that I didn't get to go yesterday, so I have very little patience today.

SinnerBoy · 06/02/2023 08:34

True, but he's really really fucking me off

I think that's probably true of all of us!

I think that he's worth his weight in gold, as he shows the paucity of the TRA zealot's "arguments." Nothing but dishonest statistics and lightweight, fact free witterings.

And as the above will probably get deleted I'll say it more politely (hopefully you will understand but if you want anything simplified just let me know)

Margaritapie You just post here and there simply to derail and stir shit up, you can never ever (as you are unable to) even answer the basic question "what does living as woman actually mean?" you imply posters here are racist and you don't properly engage, you just have the tactics similar to a troll ie plopping in just to derail or insult as above.

I for one am going to either stop rising/replying to you, or simply just repeat the question "please can you define how one lives as a woman" in reply to you and hopefully others will also take this tactic and you will get bored and leave as you are contributing nothing at all.

We need to stop indulging you as you're aren't engaging in debate, you are just here to merail.

Poor old @MargaritaPie, it must be a full time job for they coming on Mumsnet to tell off all us wimmins. Do we appreciate the effort & rapier sharp wit?

I might if I ever saw it!

FatSealSmugSoup · 06/02/2023 08:08

Another one for your playlist Pie - Anthony and the Johnson’s “for today I am a boy”.

It’s perfectly fine to kink shame, actually. Some kinks SHOULD be shamed. Especially when people insist on engaging in them publically or in others’ spaces without consent.

I don’t need to like or accept or celebrate everything everyone does!

Well put.

ILikeDungs · 06/02/2023 07:56

Got back from Glasgow late last night, flight delayed, and slept the sleep of the dead. But what a day! Still groggy but might post some photos in a bit.

DH estimated there were upwards to 1000 women

BezMills · 06/02/2023 07:26

Well done PP and the McWims.

I couldn't be there in person, but I followed the stream as much as possible and will watch the full thing today if it's online.

Klex · 06/02/2023 07:19

Whoops posted too soon.

It was a fabulous day and really emotional hearing the women give their testimonies.

I wish I could speak of my experiences but it would put me at work and make life difficult there.

Klex · 06/02/2023 07:17

Ooooh, I'm Mumsnet famous! 😁

It was a fabulous day.

I was there and the Let Women Speak side we're definitely the larger in number by far. There's video footage of someone wandering around the other side filming and you can see them moving about with ease. On our side people weren't dancing about like fools in their underwear, we were tightly packed together like sardines to hear the speakers. There wasn't room to move about.

I’ve only clicked on the Daily Mail link, and whilst it would be excellent to see more women’s stories in MSM, I am very happy to see that this story is being reported positively as a woman’s rights campaign, rather than the negative anti-trans or row over gender, etc.

I think the opening of the Mail story is good too - Let Woman Speak being protested as Hate Speech, and woman’s rights protesters having profanities screamed at them.

“Women's rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen thanks Nicola Sturgeon for 'waking up Scotland' but tensions flare at Glasgow rally as activists clash amid row over transgender prisoner Isla Bryson

Women's right activists gathered in Glasgow today for Let Women Speak rally
Counter-protest staged by pro-reform advocates Carbaret Against Hate Speech
Heated encounter saw person scream at women's rights protestors to 'f* off'”

Makes them sound absolutely ridiculous.

Esp "Cabaret Against Hate Speech". They sound like silly teens.

Well as your post I replied to is directly above mine anyone reading can easily see for themselves what was said verbatim. I'll be more careful in future.

No, I really doubt you will “be more careful in future” (see, that’s how quotation marks work) because the only thing you do on these discussions is misrepresent and insinuate. You are as disingenuous as they come.

You were the first to use the words "sex thing" on the topic of outifts. Maybe there's a misunderstanding somewhere?

@Feministwoman, thanks.

Not sure why you are thanking me, I wouldn't want to draw attention to such a user name
