Kenwood Ladies Pond Authoritarians

@JanesLittleGirl no. They can also provide a service to people with two protected characteristics. This is not hard.

I hadn't seen the footage for a while so I took another look. I hadn't recalled her screaming originally and wondered if I had misremembered.

No. She was angry and her voice was raised above the din in the room but she wasn't screaming or in any way "histrionic". She was remarkably articulate under the circumstances actually.

Are you doing the thing where someone compares a group without the right to vote and participate within the democratic process with a group that does? Do say you’re doing that one. That’s one of my favourite bollocks parallels.

Only because I'm going to bed, I think it's a valid point in response to Alcove's.

Are you literally having a go at suffragettes now?

@alcovecupboards@Mouldemort. Once all the whataboutery, finger pointing, misrepresentation and being very loud have finished, this will come down to a point of Law. The Kenwood Ladies Pond is provided as a service to the public by the City of London Corporation. It is provided under various Acts of Parliament including the Equality Act 2010. This Act requires CoLC to provide the service to everyone equally unless there is an exception under the Act. The only exception is Schedule 3 Paragraph 28 which allows for discrimination by sex where it is a proportionate means to achieve a legitimate aim. CoLC can comply with the Act in one of two ways: they can restrict the service to biological women only or they can make the service available to both sexes. They have moved heaven and earth to avoid this coming to court but they are running out of tarmac.

The law will decide.

I don't recall trying to claim that

to be fair,if all theTRA did was a bit of screaming instead of issuing rape threats, death threats, punching women, pouring soup on women and piss protests we’d all be a lot happier. Pass it on won’t you?

Of course women's rights activists would never stoop so low. Just bombs and acts of terror. A bit or urine or paint doesn't quite seem so bad in comparison.

One could argue that anyone who thinks it's a good idea to let men however they identify into female single sex spaces should be investigated, especially if they have children.

I won't, but one could.

The fact that you are incapable of admitting that she's screaming - despite the objective evidence - says so much about you. I genuinely feel sorry for you. Please try to get something more than hatred in your life.

After seeming the piss protests and the fascists outside Filia, maybe Venice was just copying the gender ideology tactics of making noise to disrupt. At least she wasn’t holding a horrible placard with rape or death threats on. Probably felt that was going a bit too far and she’d leave that for the misogynistic genderborg

I bet it does. Anything to distract that you're trying to claim - with a presumably straight face - that Venice's screaming fit was perfectly calm and reasonable. To any normal-thinking person - she was screaming.

That's not screaming. This is screaming

There’ll be a word in German. Arschanplatte. Or something

Hmmm...yet more comments on other people's lives.

Looks like projection from here.

She is literally screaming at people. I understand that you desperately need it not to be the case - but I'm afraid it is. Put it this way - if a 'TRA' behaved like that - what would you call it? We both know what you would actually say it is. Stop being a hypocrite.

Well we do also have tunnocks. And we’ll always have Milton Keynes. I also have cheese.

Yes, she's clearly perfectly calm and doesn't scream at all. You must have awful lives if you think that's a normal way of speaking to others. I'd actually suggest that anyone who thinks that is normal behaviour should be investigated - especially if they have children.

Is that it? That's the alleged "histrionics"?

How underwhelming. But well done Venice anyway.

I wasn't alive to give them any advice.

Nor was my post intended as advice to anyone else.
Why would you construe what I said as advice? Do you struggle with basic reading comprehension?
