Violent trans rights protest in Manchester.

This happened 2 weeks ago but I only found out about it when Mr.Menno uploaded a video yesterday.
A few local YouTubers were there and got plenty of footage. Notably they were all quite shocked at how aggressive the TRA's were. Well the ones who weren't familiar with the way they operate.
They didn't just stick to marching through the streets. They invaded the Arndale Centre and marched shouting and swearing while rather bemused looking people were shopping and trying to enjoy their day.
Things turned violent as usual. Two young lesbians got punched and dragged to the floor.
I've linked to a video by Billy Moore who generally goes around filming the city and talking to homeless people and so on. It's quite long but the trans stuff starts around the 15 minute.mark if anyone's interested.

So ironic to see allies bleating on about how trans are the most marginalised and vulnerable and have had their dignity and rights taken away, while the delicate flowers are being filmed acting violently and attacking women (and men).

But carry on lads. People need to see more of this.

Thanks for the timestamps. The TRAs are really obnoxious and annoying when they block the cameras with their placards. That being said the two lesbians come across as being obnoxious and aggressive too. Shoving their phone cameras right into individuals faces and you can see one of them shoving the TRAs rather than them being shoved. I can’t see them being punched and dragged to the floor as is claimed in the OP. It all feels a bit click baity.

The reason the women shoved the TRAs is to escape. Did you not notice the TRAs surrounding and kettling them to prevent them moving.

The protesters march about and then invade a shopping centre. Police turn up, at 48 minutes one officer asks one of the apparent leaders a question and is ignored. The polis shrugs and leaves.

The presenter is correct that other protests are not treated like this.

Most of them are just sad sacks, but there are a few very aggressive men amongst them.

It's the usual tactics - mobbing people, using flags, placards and umbrellas to block filming / people.
Some years ago there was a demo outside Netflix protesting about Dave Chapelle with a demented women with a tambourine screaming "repent motherfuckers' at 2 men holding placards saying things like "Dave is funny" etc. The film seems to have been removed but it typifies the unhinged extremism that this ideology provokes and is worth seeing if you can find it online.

And yes - what an unhealthy looking bunch of protesters. Sad to see.

Whats with the union flags?

Anyone who is shocked at how aggressive trans rights protesters are, hasn’t been paying proper attention.

It’s quite a long video, I skimmed through it but couldn’t see the violence / attacks mentioned.

About 28 minutes in theres's a lot of pushing and shoving of the two lesbians.

At about 29 minutes they're surrounded by men in wigs chanting 'there are many, many more of us than you'.

Edit: Two of them are in obvious wigs. Some of them are balding.

Guy with shoulder length hair barges into the two lesbians filming violently and repeatedly. She has her grabbed and they surround them way too close to intimidate them. Stewards did nothing.

These people all look so unwell.

Yes that's rather clever. He blends in until you read what's actually on his board. I'd never heard of him before. Was amusing to see him leading the march at one point.

I enjoyed the Billboard Chris guy who put his message on a trans flag - stealthy!

Largely comes over as a lot of angry, anti social and unhinged people shouting and swearing at each other without the faintest regard for anyone else in their vicinity. That includes the guy filming at times.

Why is there a clown holding up a banner?

The narrative won't sustain much longer, there's now far too much evidence out there. Like the Labour party: identifying as, but not 'passing'.
