Hannah Spencer harassed in Manchester

243 replies

MissScarletInTheBedroom · 09/03/2026 08:42

Despite the fact that certain very vocal sections of this board are aggressively anti-trans and anti-Green, I'd gently suggest that this kind of confrontation and abuse is unacceptable in any civilised society, regardless of personal ideologies.

Link to article

Perhaps the saddest irony here is that these male bigots claim to be protecting women's rights whilst trying to attack a woman MP. On International Women's Day.

I'd be curious to see how other MNetters feel about this situation...

Green Party say 'Hannah Spencer won't be silenced' after Manchester violence

Hannah Spencer, Gorton and Denton's newly-elected MP, was ushered into a police car amid the unfolding chaos

I think you’re a bit confused about which board you’re on- there’s no ‘anti trans’ voices here.

🤣

😂
This is fun. Your turn

Look, can someone clear something up for me? Not least the OP.

OP, are you the poster that used to post as @MissScarletintheBallroom ?

Because I found her posts to be well considered and well researched. If you are, what happened?

Agreed. A profound personality change? Some sort of trans room experience perhaps.

"No idea tbh but why are they always so aggressive?"

You admit to having no idea about a marginalised group, but still condemn make statements that they want total domination?

I can't imagine any other situation in life where people have no idea about a group of people but are still aggressively opposed to them...

Really? Think hard. I can. Some of them post on this board from time to time.

MsGreying · 09/03/2026 11:30

We should be able to ask people why they believe the nonsense.

Male or female.

See Nicola Sturgeon thread.

"But can you clarify: we here are pro women's rights. Is that in conflict with what trans people want?"

We are all pro-women's rights. That really should be obvious to you by now.

Is that in conflict with what trans people want? That depends. What is it you think trans people want?

Show quote history

utter piffle.

Transwomen are not women.
So again: are women's rights in conflict with what transwomen want?

I'm not aggressively anything but you certainly are coming across as such in your posts here.

I have no idea what they want as they (as a group) haven't been very clear except where they are wanting to take over women's single sex spaces. Why do men want to be where women and girls undress? 🤔

Again, why did you lie in your op?

Of course, this pitchforks and brand-waving clamour has rather derailed the thread, which presumably was the intention in the first place by the usual suspects here, but it has at least been instructive that it has provided a neatly clear picture about the political ideologies that are core to this forum.

Maybe the online magazine Jezebel was right when they said MN "has become a toxic breeding ground for transphobia"...? 🤔

I thought you were interested in what people on here thought?

Your pitchfork and brand waving didn't go to plan?

BettyBooper · 09/03/2026 11:20

OP - A man attacked a woman and it's all YOUR FAULT! You must REPENT!

Everyone else - Er no, that's not what happened. Here's the evidence...

OP - You're derailing my thread with your PITCHFORKS!

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the thread, OP. The sunlight is excellent. Every time you post, it gets brighter 😎🌞

Yes, we've all been to look at the source material now, because that is what FWR women do, and we have found a very different tale to the one being pushed by the OP.

Doesn't it just?

"pitchforks" "brand-waving clamour" "a toxic breeding ground for transphobia"

....yawwwnnn...

No attempt to deal with the true facts of the incident in Manchester

heathspeedwell · 09/03/2026 11:13

Men, however they identify, are not 'a marginalised group'.

And it's worth repeating that violence against trans people has fallen for two years in a row. Unlike violence against women.

You really show who you are with posts like this.

Bedders You've conflated comments from two different posters.

Btw, why haven't you responded to the posters pointing out your op was based on a lie?

No, it is not obvious that you are pro-women's rights. At all.
Is that in conflict with what trans people want?
Are you for real?

RoyalCorgi · 09/03/2026 10:48

Another example of male aggression, providing further evidence of why we shouldn't allow men into women's spaces and services.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 09/03/2026 10:47

All I saw was men. A man challenging a woman MP and then a range of aggressive / violent men punching and harassing women and men.

The OP seems unaware that this is the experience of women. That if we attempt to meet and speak without male permission all these aggressive thugs congregate to try to silence us. Unlike the Matrix man in the link, they never ask questions. They roar, threaten and issue threats of sexual and physical violence at women (just as some of the men did in these links).

Maybe if the OP spends more time on here listening to women instead of posting ill advised threads that prove the opposite of what they claim, they'll understand how prevalent VAWG is from the trans loons?

Just watched the video that shows Ameen Hadi (Unison rep) punch a woman. The police just ignored her when she told them she’d been punched.

Watched another video with the matrix (?) guy and it clearly shows that the ‘men-in-dresses’ are very aggressive as are their supporters. Not in the least surprised tbh.

Nasty, nasty people.
