Yes, you think it's wrong that women be allowed a sexuality that excludes men from their bodies.

You could just shrug and say you do you, and go be with these claimed thousands of lovely lesbians who are man-focused, and you can all have a lovely time together.

It's the toilets/changing room thing again. The women happily willing to undress won't do. It has to be the non consenting ones. I wonder what experience those non consenting ones offer that the consenting ones don't? Because my God are they taking up a hell of a lot of headspace.

Nah, it's entitled creepy men getting their kicks from trying to silence and intimidate women. It's as it ever was.

Said it before but gender ideology and this idea that women should be silenced if they won't acquiesce to men's sexual demands is a misogynist's wet dream.

Women won't wheesht mate. No matter how much you 'counter protest' their rights.

Legally and morally completely wrong

You've just been told by the highest court in the land that indeed it is not in the slightest bit transphobic.

You harassing women by pretending it is would not hold up in court.

Right, the impossible idea of people protesting a law that they consider wrong. Crazy.

TheOtherRaven · 07/07/2025 08:41

Transphobia in your head really is just any women gatekeeping their bodies from men, isn't it?

And you didn't turn out to harass this group of women anyway, despite claiming to.

AidaP · 07/07/2025 08:39

I did and will again.Same as I went on anti-fascist protests.

You keep trying to create some "it's women victimhood here" where it's really down to the blatant transphobia and nothing else.

If it was only 15 people disagreeing with you why do you care? Oh wait… it’s because it’s 15 women.

Bet you wouldn’t ’counter protest’ a group of men who disagreed with you would you?

Tell that to the 15 people who went there and agree with you.

Or the ridiculous london-filling crowd at pride who says the very opposite. Trans women are women was made very clear on that day.

Say the person who threatens women with drowning them out, protesting, and showing up with their mates, if they dare say otherwise.

Scaring women into compliance isnt support, it's a crime.

As opposed to the one incel who rode up to them?

Males with penis and testicles are not women. Biology says so. Anatomy says so. And the LAW says so. So take your femphobic misogynistic hateful bigotry elsewhere.

Womens rights is not 'transphobia'. Your hateful and bigoted misogynist rallies are femphobic.

Guess what, you don't have the right, legally or morally and one of these days you will get arrested for homophobic hatespeech.

And malicious communication, as evidenced by this thread.

Mumsnet can, and have, given up peoples details if asked to by the police

I do not care how big your rally is, if you meet/march for transphobia, you WILL be counter protested and drowned out. We've been doing it for years and have zero plans of stopping.

We do not tolerate hate, and this is a great way to show how yours does not translate to real life, as all you get is 15 people that ran off a moment after. Keep to your online make belief how this is "widely supported".

It wasn't transphobia as it wasn't about transwomen. It was about lesbians. It wasn't a protest, it wasn't against anything, it was for lesbians.

So all your wails about transphobia and counterprotests are just flimsy arguments about why you think you have the moral right to stop 14 same sex attracted women meeting.

Guess what, you don't have the right, legally or morally and one of these days you will get arrested for homophobic hatespeech.

It's not a protest mate. The Supreme Court has just made a ruling clarifying the law based exactly on the fact that lesbianism doesn't include men who identify as women.

there's nothing to protest. That's why it's pride, not protest.

The women are meeting because they have been told it's legitimate, morally and legally. And they can't wait to enjoy it. And have sandwiches in the park afterwards.

Men showing up to object are not countering any protest. They're just being incels demanding women's bodies.

This.

It's not transphobic for women to meet without men. Never has been, and now the SC judgment has confirmed it.

Yet here you are … expecting women to tolerate your hatred of them 🤷🏼‍♀️

Don't care how big ....Hang on, I thought this imaginary crowd of counter protesters looked at the size of the meeting and walked away (I remember the kick and beat words being involved). No 'drowning' involved.

Bobbymoore123 · 07/07/2025 07:27

Is there no data that supports your arguments or can you not find it?

What data would you like exactly?

That the group that met on the 5th was not harassed as described is reported by those women themselves, it's on the threads.

That there are lesbians who do not wish to sleep with men or have their homosexuality defined and controlled by men behaving rather....interestingly.... towards women, is obviously also evidenced by this group meeting, isn't it? Photographic evidence of it. There they are. One over here too, I just wasn't able to get to London.

The thousands of lesbians apparently desperate to involve men in their homosexuality might be a bit harder to prove, I agree, but I'm fine with women making their own choices about their bodies and sexuality, and having a lovely time at Pride.

It's the part about going batshit when a woman's choice isn't about men, and then following them around and harassing them for it, that's the bit I have a problem with. And there's pages on this thread of evidence of that behaviour. Stark evidence.

TheOtherRaven · 07/07/2025 07:55

Yeah, you'll bully, threaten and attack women who say no to you. We had that one figured out already.

Thankfully the law is on the side of women and single sex spaces.

but they weren’t. One random dude shouted at them. Or maybe you’re of the impression that one dude is equivalent to 70 men who claim a trans identity. If you were there, I’m sure you’ll be glad to show the footage of you “protesting”.

That doesn’t answer my question.
This event wasn’t a protest. It didn’t require a counter protest.

You sound incredibly petty and insecure. Every thing you post just screams ‘hurt male pride’ and ‘fragile male ego’ and you STILL can’t articulate why a group of women wanting to meet without biological men present is a problem without using the word transphobia… which is not true anyway.

ApocalipstickNow · 07/07/2025 07:53

A counter protest to the idea some women don’t want to sleep with men 😂

It’s ten a penny stuff, mate. Every woman knows the most harassed woman is the one who says no to men.

@AidaP why does this small group of women meeting annoy you so much? Just go hang with all the millions of (fictional) lesbians who go support you and would honestly date you guv if there weren’t other factors involved.
