199 Days Later national day of action

Rachel Rooney? How amazing is that!

What was with all the Navy chaps? I nipped into a pub to use the loo and could barely get out again

They said it was their Sub-mariners' Remembrance Service day

Janeslittlegirl, I don’t know that many of us walking past even looked across to see specific protestors. Very few would have seen the toplessness. I suspect that a group of them now do it purely for their own benefit. I wonder if their topless protests have made people stop and listen. I doubt it.

Waves back.

it was awesome fo find out just how far women came just to be part of the day. Just brilliant.

I join in the congratulating of the organisers. It was such a different event not having the women’s voices being drowned out by noise because those who wanted to hold their own event down near the banks of the Thames were given the space to do so away from our event.

I would want my money back if I was the guy in the centre of that photo. I don't know what you have but they ain't breasts.

<waves to Lang>

Yes - fantastic day which shouldn’t have been necessary. I’m sorry I missed you & @Helleofabore but I got to chat with a lot of other amazing women, including Rachel Rooney. 🤩

London was great, the speakers were brilliant and the police did a really good job.

There was no “clashing” with TRAs, they were kept well away from us and they could witter away to their hearts’ content without bothering us.

I'm blowing off the cobwebs of my account to join in with the praise for this event. Well done to all the wimms who worked so hard to organise it. Thank you.
It felt, despite our frustrations and anger, a joyous and important event. Some really constructive conversations were had with passers by who were overwhelmingly supportive.
I enjoyed walking past the tras who were corralled behind barriers, behind a line of police and across a very wide road from us, between Parliament Square and Downing St. We were seen and we were heard.

His partner had the dog. .

Not as far as I know. Three blokes who I’m pretty sure were TRAs made it to our side at one point, took a few photos & just sort of hung around looking odd but I assume they either moved on or got removed.

Just back from London. Great event, well policed - the protesters were quiet enough that I did not realize there were any.

At times difficult to hear what was being said until the speaker was lifted up above peoples heads - thanks to those who took turns to do this.

Suggestion. The speaker should have a hole in the bottom allowing it to be mounted on a stand. The stands do not cost much but you need to be sure that the stand fits into the bottom of the speaker. Should make things a lot easier to hear

I am very bemused. Did any of us even go near that side of the road?

So pleased it went well ❤️

Sigh. The only clashes were between the TRAs & the police. Not us.

Three arrests as trans rights activists clash with women's rights groups marking 199 days since Supreme Court's transgender ruling | Daily Mail Online

I’ve just been reading an account of the day on trans Reddit. Apparently there were 3 arrests among the TRAs (at least 2 of whom were provoked), it wasn’t fair to paint them as ‘masked thugs’ because their masks weren’t at all intimidating, & the writer was very confused by seeing a woman on our side with a Terf Island flag.

I went to the London event and it was fantastic - great atmosphere, creative banners, brilliant speeches. It had been very well planned and organised and was well stewarded. I loved the singing!

The advanced liaison between organisers and police really paid off. The Met police were excellent (I never thought that I'd type those words!). Unlike a lot of Let Women Speak Events, the TRAs were kept well away from us and not allowed to drown women out. They weren't anywhere near Parliament Square where we met or the space in Whitehall, opposite Downing Street, where the speeches were. Instead, they were corralled into a small area, about halfway along the route of the march and on the opposite side of the road to us.

Oh dear, so sad to see all those TA with bad colds, but how sensible of them to protect the rest of us from their germs by wearing masks, though I am sorry not to see their happy little faces properly.

London was fantastic. Huge turnout & the TRAs were kept well out of the way for the whole thing.

The Met police did an absolutely brilliant job for us.

Solidarity with the women of Wales, who seem to have got the worst of the trans activists' bullshit today.

Lovely to see events all over.

#199DaysLater Protests: Full Summary (November 1, 2025)
Background
On April 16, 2025, the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers ([2025] UKSC 16) that “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 means biological sex—not gender identity or self-ID. This confirmed women’s right to single-sex spaces/services (e.g., prisons, toilets, refuges, sports, hospitals). 3 6
199 days later (today), grassroots women from @acts_grassroots, Women Won’t Wheesht (@WWWheesht), For Women Scotland, WRN, and allies held coordinated protests across the UK demanding:

• Immediate implementation of the ruling.
• EHRC guidance laid before Parliament ASAP (delayed by Labour govt).
• No males in female-only spaces: prisons (#NoMinWPrisons), changing rooms, wards, sports.
• Hashtags: #199DaysLater #TheLawIsTheLaw #WomenWontWheesht #TickTock #SingleSex101 11 21

• Hundreds marched from Whitehall to Parliament Square—vibrant, peaceful sisterhood.
• Banners/Signs: “TRANS WOMEN ARE MEN”, “SEX IS REAL”, “199 DAYS LATER – IMPLEMENT NOW”.
• Highlights:
• | Singer Roisin Murphy joined—huge cheers!| LGB Alliance, Legal Feminist, Women of Wessex, Surrey WRN, CU Soc of Women present.
• Counter-protest: Trans activists clashed verbally; police separated groups.
• Atmosphere: Empowering—“TERFs” united for women’s rights. GB News covered live. 68 50 52

• Hundreds braved rain/hail—“shoulder-to-shoulder solidarity”.
• Speakers:
• | Dr Pam Gosal MSP (only MSP, Scottish Conservative): 5-min fiery speech—slammed SNP/John Swinney for “scary movie” delay, faulty trans guidance, males in female spaces. “THE LAW IS THE LAW… Women Won’t Wheesht/Won’t Wait!” Vowed to fight till 2026 election. 12 | Eva Comrie, Shereen (LWD Scotland), Susan Smith (FWS), others—“brave women” inspired crowd. 10

• Strong turnout outside Welsh Parliament—demanding Welsh Govt obey ruling.
• Incident: Women in women’s rights t-shirts ejected from Norwegian Church Arts Centre—“discrimination”!
• Counter-protest: Aggressive—close-range shouting/obscenities; SW Police let them near (van emblazoned “Proudly serving LGBTQ+”—called out). Women held up SC ruling printouts: “You’ve lost!”
• Defiant vibe: “Misogyny running high—but we know what a woman is.” 16 51 80

• Resounding success: Women heard loud/clear despite weather/opposition. No arrests (women’s side).
• Pressure builds: Govts dragging feet amid TRA lobbying—“6.5 months too long!”
• Solidarity: Cross-party, LGB, sports groups (e.g., SEENinSport, @parkrunUK called out).
• Next: More actions—“Tick Tock” till compliance.
