How dare they.

This thread is about todays demonstrations and the disgusting behaviour of Trans demonstrators against women.

Its not a thread about your family member.
Why are you making this personal when your dc wasn’t even at any of the demonstrations

This is about threats to women !

Not relying on threats of violence at all then.

And we want single sex spaces back, I wonder why.

Shades of I'll never be cruel again and then displaying threatening behaviour when thwarted. Man behaviour.

Why is it always women who are asked to live and let live? Why isn't there pressure on the TRAs (who are mostly responsible for this, not your average trans) to live and let live?

Why do women have to be nice in the face of threats of violence, rape and murder?

When you get the TRAs to be nice I'll be nice back. When they live and let live, so will I.

Have you ever spent time on TRA forums (e.g. Reddit) telling them that their actions are a pathetic own goal?

I do wonder why it's the way that women are receiving these threats of violence that you are appealing against, rather than the trans activists themselves.

Of course, I may be wrong and you do try to reason with that community, in which case, fair play to you.

Not surprised. Far Left Liberalism seems to always involve throwing a tantrums and defacing stuff when it doesn't go the desired way.

The absolute irony seeing loads of free Palestine flags there... a poor indictment of our education system.

I've thought really long and hard why these women align themselves with these men and one of my theories is perhaps these women weren't fancied at school or something and a hatred of women started to creep in early on.
I know it sounds basic but these things often stem back to good old fashioned jealousy. So the boys they wanted never looked at them, so they formed alliances with men who would notice them and pay them attention, even if it doesn't mean anything.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I just don't get why young women would see these men anything other than creeps.

I totally understand the desire to defend your child when you think they or the group they're part of or aligned with are being criticised. Tbh I would probably feel and be driven to do the same.

Rationally, if there are women and mothers who can recognise this in some contexts but not others based purely on an inner identity than women cannot see or verify, it's a wilful choice and a failure towards women and girls.

The more they piss in the streets and make themselves look like idiots the better (feel sorry for the poor buggers who will have to clean it up though).

TRAs are violent extremists.
Women are not.

I thought you guys are better than that and could separate militant extremists from every day folks. Not that you have to agree with the everyday folks mind you.

I do spend a lot of time on my trans family members FB group trying to persuade these ordinary folk that feminists don't hate them or want them dead or deny their existence.

Might stop doing that and this, it's bloody futile.

I just don't get why young women would see these men anything other than creeps.

You underestimate how much some young women despise and resent older women, simply because they don’t want to get old themselves. So they align with creepy men instead.

I think they’re either not very intelligent and can’t understand the complexities, or they are trapped in a gilded woke cage where all their friends and acquaintances are TWAW so to admit querying gender identity would mean relinquishing their social life, job and reputation. If a little flicker of questioning starts they extinguish it by reminding themselves of ‘the suicides’.

Were education union's there today? Neu??

So transwomen, who won't ever be able to go out, because they can't use women's toilets anymore, can in fact cope perfectly well by pissing in bottles outside when it suits them. Glad they've demonstrated a solution for that particular problem then.

Exactly the discussion myself and DH has today

UCU were there, predictably. Jo Grady posted a photo of herself on X with a poster advocating hanging TERFs in the background. So glad that I cancelled my UCU membership and used the £30 a month for gardening instead.

This. To paraphrase the original quote " All that is needed for bab transpeople to succeed is for good trans people to remain silent'.

I’m a laydeee!

Bad

Bastards. If they are all so keen to be women, why on earth do they think it's OK to deface a statue of someone who fought for women's rights? This has been done by misogynistic men.

so you're saying that the TRAs are extremists who threaten woman, but that we should just... what, turn the other cheek?

is it because we are the ladies?

What is your actual point here?

It's also a crafty smoke behind the bike shed. But yes it's a slur. Elsewhere I said that it would not surprise me if TRAs/transpeople wrote 'fag rights' on a statue of a woman as trans ideology is homophobic (in addition to being misogynistic).

Unfortunately, I worry about attacks on women going up now. These men are angry and we know how men who are angry and hate women respond.

The government need to be coming out right now to nip all this in the bud..

So she did. Thick as a plank.

Did anyone really think this crowd would accept this judgement in a rational, calm, measured manner?
