...to be baffled, sad and angry that Paris Lees is speaking at the Women's March tomorrow?

[ArcheryAnnie]

So, Paris Lees has been invited to address the "Time's Up" rally opposite Downing Street tomorrow, organised by the Women's March London. The "Time's Up" initiative "provides advice and support to women across all industries who have experienced sexual harassment or abuse at work."

But wait! Paris Lees is in favour of street harrassment of women, and writes articles in places like Vice, making sure lots of men know that catcalls are cool and sexy, and making sure lots of women know they have been "infantilised", and aren't nearly as brave as cool, sexy Paris, if they don't like it.

AIBU to be absolutely baffled, as well as sad and angry, that Paris Lees has been asked to speak for women at an event opposing sexual harrassment?

Wow.
Stinks of transphobia in here.
And I'm anosmic.

Oh and sorry for the necro but fuck me, some shit needs calling out.

Paris Lees is not all transwomen. She's an idiot. They're not the same thing.

This is up there with when Caitlyn Jenner won Woman of the Year. So ‘woke’ it’s utterly tone deaf.

Stop censoring actual women

I thought jack was born female but is living as a male, and had given birth to a child.

She was identifying as NB when it was fashionable but it's back to being female now.

I'm just posting for the deletion notice (since we've criticised The Forbidden) but in an attempt to keep the thread going a bit longer:

I think Jack Monroe is a wonderful human being. I love tinned fruit and curry powder and think rotting salad makes the best pesto. Honest.

Not to mention the twat is a thief too, not a very good one seeing as they spent 8 months in prison.

He (correct pronoun at the time) served 8 months of a 2 year sentence for robbery, not theft. That's a large sentence for a 16 year old.

The reason is the very severe beating he gave the elderly victim. The prosecution couldn't prove the assault directly caused the old man's death.

The idea of Paris Lees as a spokesperson for reclaim the streets is obscene.

This is (was) shit - and if I’d seen it at the time I may have had my eyes opened a bit earlier.

But this is nearly 4 years ago - how come it’s popping up now?

if I’d seen it at the time

Damnit, missed that this was a zombie.

Paris lees should not be talking at a women's march. Their experience is not that of a females. Couldn't they find a woman to speak?

ZOMBIE THREAD

Speaking tomorrow?!
This thread is at least 3 years old.
Why has it been resurrected, not checked and not sure I want to as if it's anything like the usual trans threads on here I'll probably want to start throwing biscuits

Saying that however, I complained at the time via email but I didn't know this little nugget of information
