Students Against Tyranny are protesting tomorrow to keep female spaces female. They are a vile group, and the guy who heads it up is a staunch Tommy Robinson supporter. Anti Muslim, anti asylum seekers, full of hate. I want to attend the counter protest but the main aim of their protest is to keep female spaces female. A couple of my GC friends are attending because they want SAT to know they aren't welcome and aren't supported by women's rights groups. They promote hatred towards all trans people referring to them as 'the mentally unwell'.

Would you attend or support GC people attending even if they also agree with keeping women's spaces for women?

If the SAT protest is specifically about keeping female spaces single sex, then I wouldn’t counter protest. If they are a generally vile group as you’ve described (sorry, never heard of them) then I wouldn’t protest with them either. Sounds like a good one to skip imo

I wouldn't join a group I considered to be vile from the top down, no.

Forming or supporting a group that aligned with my views would be the optimal option, although easier said than done.
I'm not convinced mob groups achieve much, either.

Sorry it's a counter protest against students against tyranny. I didn't make that clear.
