Film of protest outside the Lesbian Project meeting

It worries me that those young people seem to have never read a book or studied any history, watched any of the recent interesting documentaries about actual Nazism. They throw these words around with no real understanding of what they mean. Some of them are even at university. It is pretty shocking.

You would think, in the light of the recent Casey review, that the Met police would begin to make a bit of an effort to prevent violence against women, but it appears they are a lost cause.

How did I miss this thread? You lot are all brilliant. I’ve been nodding along thinking. Yeah! And that! And That!

Do they have a clue what this comes across like?

I mean way to win over people who don't know what's going on. Accuse them of being in league with neo nazis. It just shows it doesn't matter what you bloody do. if you aren't there with a rainbow on your shoulders shouting down lesbian women you're a nazi. No trial, no jury. Guilty.

Fuck me!

lol

Yes they really do think all those things. That's what their social (online and IRL) bubble/filter shows them.

Just as a GC one, if we are not careful, overstates the degree to which "woman" is being replaced by "gender neutral" alternatives in biological contexts, or the degree to which toilets are becoming gender neutral.

I think GC women, being generally older and educated back in the day when seeking out a range of sources, hearing opposing views directly and concluding ones own position only after understanding all views and considering each on its own merits was considered a fundamental requirement for any position one held, are usually less susceptible to the filter bubble, but I do try to read many perspectives and I can see the mechanism operating on all sides.

It's not surprising a side that believes concepts that hurt the ego are too dangerous and damaging to engage with should be more susceptible to filter bubbles.

Plus of course the small problem that since reality itself is anti trans, or at least anti the "men and women have always been gender roles underneath, and sex doesn't really affect anything so let's all just ignore it" version of trans, ultimately everyone, and everything, is anti-trans, not because of hatred or bigotry or lack of vision but simply in the same way reality is also anti-flying-pig.

He clearly said he was centre left. Gosh, vague allegations of being far right, never heard that before.

This is their banner image. How ironic.

The Transactivists encountered someone who is actually attempting to monitor organised harm enacted by authorities on ordinary people and the TRAs smeared him as a Nazi/fascist/Baddie whilst using the police to oppress him.

Lesbians have been brutally assaulted by men over the decades for daring to say no to their advances. Sadly, this is nothing new.

I can’t stop chuckling at the ‘we have been told by witnesses’ assertion.

Pretty sure that at one point TLA told the police that he had (paraphrasing) ‘a witness that doesn’t lie’ (ie the video footage).

Note the inevitable attempt to smear someone as a nazi. It's fucking grossly disrespectful as well as absurd.

Do they reckon he looks like an easy mark they can libel without having the book thrown at them? 🤔

Guess they must have found another box of crampons.

The Auditors are assumed a TRA enemy because the Auditors are out to shame the bad cops, and the cops and the TRAs are all on the same side 🤷‍♀️

The TRAs are exposing themselves as part of the establishment.

Counter protest my arse.

Thank you for sharing the link to the video and all the info about the rope of an "auditor"... it's a very interesting concept and I find the role of impartial observer/ documenter fascinating.

The video is of course gold and once again shows that the TR movement needs light and sunshine... they will quickly tell you who they are and show you their true colors.

Agree with pp that there was a sinister vibe from some of the characters on the video... the "calm" couple were eerie but the senior police officer gave me the creeps... I want to think I saw some hesitation / irritation at their own doublespeak in some of the more junior police officers. On the other hand some of them looked like Men To Be Avoided TBH.

'It's impossible to be sure whether this streamer is actually affiliated with Patriotic Alternative, was misheard, or was deliberately trying to generate content by pretending to be a fascist.'

They forgot to add '...or whether the claim was completely made up by the bunch of deluded homophobes who believe everyone with an opinion different to their is literally Hitler.'

We need Rik 😆

Because it positions them as defenders not aggressors.

It was serendipitous that one of the women she spoke to at the end was also from Scotland and the right side.
The tra lad, when he was asked what a fascist was, did her seriously start mumbling about Italy! Mind, it would have been hilarious if the guy filming had turned out to have a massive moustache and be dressed like Mario. Him dismissing the Inspector at the end was....chef's kiss (for the avoidance of doubt, not a far right hand signal).
The, ahem, dancing seemed a bit performative fun. They mostly seemed bored. I wonder if, partly, that's why they swarmed him.
I'm glad he was there and decided to film. Like pink leggings the stars aligned. I hope his phone wasn't damaged.

They probably should’ve watched the footage before making up a bullshit statement, eh?

🤡

Oh, they have covered themselves:

'It's impossible to be sure whether this streamer is actually affiliated with Patriotic Alternative, was misheard, or was deliberately trying to generate content by pretending to be a fascist.'

Oh, my days:

'Yesterday at the lesbian counter-protest to The Lesbian Project's launch event a streamer approached protestors. We have been told by eyewitnesses that he claimed to be affiliated with the neonazi organisation Patriotic Alternative.'

Jolly good thing the entire event and interactions weren't filmed, isn't it? Otherwise this might have been exposed for the bullshit that it clearly is.

Note the inevitable attempt to smear someone as a nazi. It's fucking grossly disrespectful as well as absurd.

Apparently TLA uses all those Police ID numbers he gathers to file official complaints against the officers, so he might want to employ some admin staff before attending a Let Women Speak event - there is bound to be a shit load of paperwork generated.

The women emerging from the meeting are almost like a punchline to a joke - how the fuck can you morally justify organising an intimidating protest outside a London building on the basis that a group or reasonable, friendly, midlife lesbians (and a dog) are inside having a meeting.

The ridiculous waste of public funds alone is enough to start a normie off on a mountain climb!

he's male (not make).

I just watched all of that. Fecking gold. Honestly I haven't laughed so much for a long time. The fact he basically doesn't have a clue what's happening, but knows exactly what his rights are, thinks he's there filming police, thinks he's kind of on side with the protesters, to some extent any way, gets called a fascist and on it goes until he sees the rather boring looking middle aged women coming out of "the meeting". There's a moment there where his brain doesn't catch up, because he's preoccupied with "dismissing the inspector" 😂, but clearly he didn't forget.

I do hope he goes to other TRA protests. He's got knowledge about his rights that he's not afraid to assert and he's make, so obviously not seen as dangerous as, you know, a middle aged lesbian.

Btw did anybody else spot the person with the bright Christmas tree jumper - they took it off to block the camera..and were wearing a t-shot with suffragette stripes on it!

And YY to whoever made the connection to the Scientologists and that couple. Spot on. Creepy as fuck.

Another good T-shirt slogan!

Probably women need to learn all that terminology.

I think the event looked like the chairlift version of trans ideology.
