TRAs seem to be keeping away since organisers gained assurances from police that the women would, at last, be protected.
Lots of gay men also attending in support

The next one’s Easter Sunday & Kellie-Jay’s going to be back.

Trans day of invisibility

They’ll be back. They’re bullies, remember, and they knew that there would be lots of people attending this time, so they hid. When they reckon they’ll outnumber women and think nobody is watching they’ll reappear.

Good point. When’s the next one? It’s time I went. If the women speaking always get a huge crowd, and the police do their job, the trans mob won’t be able to silence us.

That's intriguing @plumbago
There must be interesting conversations going on in the care home!

The elderly alert who read the Telegraph or the Times daily must be up to speed! I had the pleasure of meeting a 101 year old lady a couple of years ago and she was very sharp. Said she had read the Times every day since the 1940's though it wasn't as good as it used to be. Smile
It was before there were regular articles about all this otherwise I'm sure she would have been right on it.

Bloody brilliant. Now they’re weekly I’m hoping to catch a couple.

As a PP says, the few TRAs in attendance aren’t being abused by the women, are they? As the women are when they’re outnumbered. Although I agree with another PP - I expect many are at home and don’t want to have to explain to Mummy and Daddy why they’re going out dressed like a terrorist.

This is really heartening isn't it. Such a great turn out. I'll have a proper listen later.

Fantastic news! The crowd looks great

There certainly has been a sea change. I've just been talking on the phone to my aged father, who's 96 and lives in a care home - and out of the blue he said, 'Did you see that terrible fracas in New Zealand with Posie Parker, and those dreadful woke police officers?' He's got all his marbles and reads the Daily Telegraph online every day, but never before has he shown any interest in this subject. Now recent events have well and truly peaked him!

The wheels on the TERF bus 😂

So how did the TRAs know to stay away?

Show quote history

Well the Home Office spoke out. I'm sure the Home Office and met have spoken this week about the bloody awful publicity from the police mess up on two separate events last weekend which was getting into the press.

A cynical mind would wonder what the met were told, and whether the met with their political sympathies made some phone calls themselves.

They probably didn’t even notice that LWS have gone from monthly to weekly!

ControversialOpening · 02/04/2023 16:37

Aja says there are 3 TRAs attending.

Notice how there are no reports of them being attacked, screamed at, surrounded or bullied in any way. Everybody seems quite ok with their presence.

Now imagine how the 'be kind' people would treat 3 GC women at one of the numerous trans days.

dcbc1234 · 02/04/2023 16:35

Great to hear.

EmpressaurusOfCats · 02/04/2023 16:34

Fantastic. And next Sunday they’ll all be home with Mummy & Daddy getting their Easter eggs.

They noted the high number of student train tickets out of London in the last few days.

Giggorata · 02/04/2023 16:26

Excellent!
But the minute the eyes of the press are elsewhere, they'll be back, I reckon.

QueenHippolyta · 02/04/2023 16:25

That's wonderful to see. Julia Long and Venice Allen are heroines!
The TRAs are losing and the Police higher ups are waking up to actually do their fecking job!

SinisterBumFacedCat · 02/04/2023 16:25

A lot of people got Peaked this week I reckon.

EndlessTea · 02/04/2023 16:24

I love the casual hand in the pocket. She’s brilliant.

Aja has caught one lone TRA staging some sort of one man interpretive dance protest in front of the police which I'm childishly sniggering at.

Venice Allen and Julia Long met with police yesterday. Gained assurances that they will not be obstructed by TRAs. Think they realise it's not a good look.

There's been a real seachange.

Yes, you are right! They'll be skiing with ma and pa over the next weekend so should be quiet!
