One Year Later: 11th April - National Day of Action

Like the vile Helen Webberley it seems that Dr Sophie Quinney is only qualified as a GP. As far as I can see she doesn't have any specialised qualifications or knowledge of gender medicine. She also has a patchy employment record as there are quite a few years when she wasn't on the medical register so presumably not practising as a doctor.

I saw that comment as well.

Apparently fine for Dr Quincey to both lead GIDS and to protest against a group of women calling for the law to be applied but not okay for Prof George to make a few tweets supporting scientific facts and to lead the Streeting trial as head of MHRA.

It looks like Dr Sophie Quinney (she/her), Clinical Director and Gender Clinician at the Welsh Gender Service, NHS Wales, has done rather more than like a comment on SM.

That's a concern. Surely she should be stepping down then? Like the doctor who had to step down because he "liked" a sex realist comment on social media. These things have to work both ways. Medical professionals really, really need to remain impartial. She obviously didn't get the memo.

A comment on X about the flags being flown yesterday - that they were all trans and no rainbow flags this time. Interesting if so.

In the Cardiff pictures there appear to be only trans, and trade union, flags in the group that were shouting down women who were talking about their rights. Was that the case at all the venues??

I’m sure the Young Moth-ers joke was in one of the Jennings books but I can’t remember which.

I got my genociding done in the gym this morning. Breathe in… Transwomen. Breathe out… Are men.

Well done. And a good reminder for here, thank you.

However, you may have misunderstood the genociding brief. Am reminded of the old joke where a lad unwittingly buys his friend an embarrassing book for his birthday, because it was called The Complete Book for Young Mothers.

I made sure to get my genociding done last weekend - although that was my 6 month change of the moth traps - does that count?

A rather disturbing comment on the photo of the Hagrid in a grey dress.

The woman in red beside the brick is Dr Sophie Quinney, head of Welsh Adult GIDS - we question her professionalism turning up on the counter protest demo. Wouldnt someone in her position need to show impartiality?

"I'm not keen on the new Hagrid, I must say" is probably my favourite. 😀

That would definitely save time.

You might not even have to sing it, thinking it may be enough

😁

Have you TRIED juggling a cat? No one’s going to get any genociding done if we’re trying to stem the bleeding from our shredded arms.

I’ll see if I can fit any murdering in tomorrow but I’ve got a yoga class, you know <huffs>

It would have to have been remote genociding. Do you think singing ‘If a person has a penis he’s a man’ while hoovering would have worked?

Tbh I'm not sure you're womanning right. Where's the multi-tasking and juggling? You could have done a little genociding while putting the cat out.

I didn’t have to leave home until 10.30 but before that I was rushing around doing housework & changing my cat’s litter tray. I didn’t have time for genociding either.

Christ alive, I had to get up at the arse crack of dawn to get to Westminster for 1 as it was. I simply didn’t have TIME to be murdering/genociding anyone.

The comments under that photo are priceless😂
I'm so glad to hear that the day went well - in London anyway, hope to hear more good reports and maybe more photos from the other demos!

It was also noticeable - as ever - that the women are generally minding our own business, talking amongst ourselves, politely listening to our speakers and occasionally singing. We largely ignored the TRAs.

The TRAs were just there to shout at us.

I think many of us were rather shocked to hear that we were murdering children though.

How to convince women that it is safe to have delusional males in their private spaces, I know, images of executing them, that should be reassuring, erm....
Nope, still not convinced.

In Cardiff there was this styish chap

I helped to organise an event in Parliament Square once. The rules around noise levels were really, really tight, to the extent of having to provide exact details of amplification equipment & having a maximum amount of time that we were allowed to sing for.

No way were the TRAs sticking to rules. Yes, it was great that they were kettled & their noise didn’t spoil our day, but still.

They must had all had splitting headaches with the hours of drums, whistles, sirens and shouting
