Stickering

I sticker regularly to raise awareness and they all get removed. Why is this? Other stickers aren't. Why can't people express their opinion? Took great pleasure in ripping down the Trans rights poster that's just appeared in my neighbourhood. If my stickers are removed, so will their poster.

The irony of starting that sentence with "so dumb".....

TheHappyCarrot · 05/09/2023 13:18

We're accused of being in an echo chamber on here but Reddit clearly has it's own one.

At least most of us are right on here, you really can't change sex.

I saw a saying at the weekend 'I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong' and thought how apt.

I noticed on Reddit:

https://reddit.com/r/NewcastleUponTyne/s/JnsNgKMTTs

"I saw ‘U CANT CHANGE SEX’ on a lamppost leading towards the High Level. Wonder if it’s the Infowars guy"

"So dumb. You obviously can, with the right medical intervention. It's pretty miraculous that we can do that these days, to be honest."

I'm just lucky there were no queer nit combs, they are really dangerous.

@BabyStopCryin oh how terrible to get genocided.
It almost happened to me with the pink and blue paint on the bins, but I just walked a bit quicker and escaped it.

BabyStopCryin · 23/08/2023 11:12

I have to walk past a whole row of ‘no pride without trans pride’ posters next to my office. Makes my toes curl. Literal genocide 🙄?

I have slotted stickers with their backing still on in the corner of those frames you see on the inside of toilet doors in public toilets.
Or I slip stickers with their backing still on in some of those gross Shona Faye type books in Waterstones. As a helpful bookmark.

No vandalism. If a person sees it and chucks it in the bin, so what? They know there are people out there who care about women's rights. They may have forgotten.

Harassment and alarm.
Yes, I did find the bins painted in blue and pink alarming, I jumped a mile, the stickers advertising bike hire, and a tattoo shop in Manchester really harassed me though, I didn't want to hire a bike.
Terrifying and quite hateful when I was walking/driving.

Happy Valley?
Hmm, interesting, I was there recently, passed the library and the town hall.
It's a lovely wee place, I've recommended it to friends.

There were some outside the RA a little while ago. 🤭

TastesLikeStrawberriesOnASummerEvening · 23/08/2023 01:43

I hope none were put on any libraries in Calderdale recently....

exLtEveDallas · 22/08/2023 22:34

Ooh that IS good value. Thank you @FemaleAndLearning

Why? Are you worried you might be in trouble if you were caught vandalising public property with hate stickers?

There might be some circumstances where the truth could be "hateful", like talking about how fat someone is in the street.

However if it's a doctor bringing up someone's weight, and the health risks of obesity, we would say that the truth here is a defence regardless of whether the patient becomes offended.

And so telling the truth about extremist gender ideology, in the context of political debate or advertising, isn't going to be "hateful" regardless of whether some people get upset about it.

AtrociousCircumstance · 16/08/2023 23:32

Thank you to all the women posting GC stickers ❤️

To the posters who hate women taking action like this, you are riddled with misogyny and seek only to validate men. We see you.

donnawinters · 16/08/2023 23:31

You mean a transphobe being arrested and charged by police?

ArabeIIaScott · 16/08/2023 23:29

No, I'm worried someone with ill intent might harass, threaten or abuse women.

RoseslnTheHospital · 16/08/2023 23:19

Yep, and transparent.

ArabeIIaScott · 16/08/2023 23:18

donnawinters · 16/08/2023 23:15

Cool, which station did you sticker these at?

Show quote history

Why are you repeatedly trying to locate women on here? It's frankly alarming.

donnawinters · 16/08/2023 23:15

TastesLikeStrawberriesOnASummerEvening · 15/08/2023 12:15

Service stations this morning.
I have lovely ribbons with me too.

ArabeIIaScott · 16/08/2023 22:26

Ribboning can be construed as murderous threat, iirc.

RoseslnTheHospital · 16/08/2023 22:19

Ah pretty!

Now, does ribboning count as vandalism and criminal damage?
