How dare they.

That event was calling for women and girls to be put at harm through the loss of single sex spaces. It was calling for women and lesbians to lose freedom of association as women and lesbians. I am sure the protestors were jubilant to be calling for these harms to women, but it sure wasn’t a peaceful thing to call for. You don’t get to self identify as peaceful when you are calling for half the population to be put at risk of harm.

The victim mentality from this post is staggering.

No one is being vilified. The ruling clarified that people will be defined as their biological sex in law, protecting the single sex spaces of women and girls.

What kind of person would be against this?

I never understood why trans rights activists chose the gay community as their philosophical harbour. Surely the issue here is gender not sexuality, and therefore the feminist community would have been the natural place to turn to, way back when this all started decades ago.

Ah, the old 'you made me angry - you made me do it' one. Women are to blame for the violence stating in those signs one.

Rules of misogyny -

1. Women are responsible for what men do.
2. Women saying no to men is a hate crime.

1. Women speaking for themselves are exclusionary and selfish.

1. Women’s opinions are violence against men, thus male violence against women is justified.

1. Women and Feminism must be useful to men or they are worthless.

1. Women who go around being female AT men by menstruating and breastfeeding babies deserve punishment.

1. Women should always be grateful to men for everything.

1. Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.

1. Men always know the “real reasons” for everything women do and say.

10. The worst thing about male violence is that it makes men look bad.

11. Whatever women suffer from, it is worse when it happens to men.

12. Women’s ability to recognize male behavior patterns is misandry.

13. Angry women are crazy. Angry men have trouble expressing themselves.

14. Women have all the rights they need: The right to remain silent.

15. Men are the default human. Women are strange subhuman others.

16. Everyone owns and controls women’s bodies except the women themselves.

Except that no debate is their preferred option, because they are not able to articulate their reasoning (such as it is).

Open debate is far better at exposing their untruths and inconsistencies, though I fear that much of the media will continue to give as biased a view as possible. The BBC has already shown its bias clearly in its reporting.

Popping back in to say, as I made abundantly clear on this thread, we didn't attend, DC is not especially upset by the ruling and does not use female spaces (though has been very quiet this week as a favourite wild area locally has had a housing scheme approved).

The additional extraneous autism sideswipe also noted.

I say I don't really care who calls themselves a lesbian. It doesn't make me any less of a lesbian. Doesn't take away from my relationships. People can date who they like - it really makes absolutely no difference to me. Nobody that I know would call someone transphobic for turning someone down, but there's a way to do it. If someone said 'Ew, no, you're trans' or something along that vein then that would be transphobic. In the real world though, it's not something that really comes up because (A) people don't get bent out of shape because they're turned down and (B) people tend to find polite ways of doing it. It's one of these arguments I only ever really come across via the terminally online, so 🤷🏼

Interesting to see what's happening in the labour camp. Is our leader going to come out and help to shore up the rights of half his country??

Jubilant seems an odd vibe for such an occasion.

I thought it was odd feeling jubilant too. Maybe that was the wrong word. I suppose that came from being surrounded by people showing support and love. There were picnics, dancing, music, and the sun was out. If nothing else, I hope the community hears that there are thousands of allies and people who support them, no matter what comes next.

Transwomen are women...and that's why they're determined to show their absolute hatred of women at every opportunity. Vile, entitled, bullying, misogynistic men, and I have no sympathy for them.

And bullying and assualting women. What joy.

Personally I think that's a low turnout: 20K on a bank holiday weekend in the capital? In contrast, 300K marched for Palestine.

Well quite.

'Let's have a lovely picnic while we call for women to be hanged.'

'Ooh, sounds great. Shall I bring the lemonade?'

well thanks for the long reply - funny you then run away so you don't have to hear the challenges to your muddled thinking.

Even as recently as 5 years ago i might have agreed. now? no there is no nuance. TRAs hate us, and use revolting misogynistic violent language towards us. I don't return their words in kind but i hold them in contempt and i no longer believe they are genuine in their support for, or trans-ness. They hate women, and the more cowed and downtrodden they can have us, the better for them.

Nobody can change sex. And you can carry on sitting on the fence (which is pandering to the TRA brigade, tbh) but i will continue to push back on the hate coming women's way.

That was few people out of how many? All you lot do is focus on a few isolated incidents to tar everyone with the same brush. It's what you always do with trans people and what ignorant people have done to minority groups since the beginning of time. It's the oldest trick in the book.

Racists did the same at the BLM protest, focusing on a few extreme signs and not everyone else.

The actions yesterday show a lack of respect, whilst I believe they are deluded they are entitled to a peaceful demonstration - their actions show they have no tolerance and respect for others. Their ideology is dangerous and their actions mirror this.

And then they all skipped off into the sunset, proclaiming themselves happy dykes and allies*, picnic baskets in hand, to piss in bottles all over the land.

• Apart from the anti gay graffiti. 'Twas but chalk they claimed, so that's ok.

Yes, nobody should get upset or "bent out of shape" by any graffiti, especially chalk.
I think we should tell that to Jewish people, migrants, Muslims, gypsies, gay people etc
Don't get bent out of shape by offensive threatening graffiti!

Please don't conflate this issue with racism/BLM, we have been repeatedly told that transracialism is not the same as transgenderism.

It would not be transphobia for a lesbian to say they don’t date biological men because they’re a man. The fact you think it is is staggering. And insulting to gender critical lesbians.

Quite.

Don’t forget they also claimed it was done by someone else who was setting them up!

😂😂😂
Maybe somebody "bio" 😂

Ah yes!
A big g.c. woman did it and ran away.
