Why are they so obsessed with toilets?

I suppose it's a small mercy they didn't whip out their dicks and pee at the entrance of the toilets as an attempt to mark their territory.

Were they already aware that trans rights activism includes this agressive and misogynist element, or has it been an eye opener that some on their side were not the reasonable and peaceful people they assumed?

I mean this is true for every single protest. Most are peaceful and some spoil it for the rest.

So why are they allowed to?. I've been on loads of protests and, believe me, we would have been vocal in anyone had a placard even approaching the bigotry of these.

Yes. I am asking whether the protesters who feel they need to clean up had realised that.

There seems to be an assumption in pro-genderist groups that their side is all tolerance and rainbows so I wondered whether this had been a wake up to them or something they already knew, and if it is as you would think well known why there has been so little condemnation of TRA aggression in the past. I am concerned that the Naice #bekind type allies are not in fact aware of the nastier fringes of their movement because these are not being reported by Naice #bekind media.

The poster I was replying to was in that FB group so they might have actual knowledge rather than a generic observation about protests.

Aberdeen Trans Action (including a few members of the infamous Polycule and the man who told a crowd, including a Scottish Green MSP, that he was going to 'shite on JKR') creating a disturbing walkway for women accessing toilets.

TRA's in Scotland are claiming that staff at Edinburgh Waverley were asking people using the toilet over the weekend to show id. It's complete nonsense - both Waverley staff (happy to be named) and Network Rail have refuted said claims but it's still being spread as truth by various cult addled MSP's.

Lies and violence is all they have.

This is intimidation !

Walk proudly past Women of Edinburgh !

Or carry a poster saying

‘I Love it when a plan comes together’ 👏👏

Certainly every single women's / feminist meeting / conference has been targeted by masked and violent protesters issuing threats of violence, including sexual violence, physically intimidating, touching, grabbing and assaulting women trying to enter buildings. Threatening to burn down buildings and a whole range of actions aimed directly at women doing nothing more than speaking.

Why some of these people haven't been referred to Prevent is a mystery. But as has been said before - the Stonewall champions / trans flag flying police forces have been trained by these powerful trans lobbyists to ignore VAWG if it's women daring to speak without their permission.

Anybody who thinks that they can go on a protest and everybody who shares their views is “full of tolerance and rainbows” is an idiot.

It's not true of women's rights protests.

I mean, yeah, some shit heads turn up and spoil them, but it's the same shit heads who are making trans rights protesters look bad by threatening violence against people who don't share their beliefs.

The common theme isn't "all protests".

The common theme is these specific be-pronouned woman hating thugs.

Why would they not have realised that some people on the protest were bound to spoil it for the rest?

Have they never seen a protest on the news? I have been on anti-racism protests and saw on the news later that some people took the opportunity to be violent.

I was completely unsurprised.

Which is it:

or

What do you mean “allowed to”? Every protest with a violent minority - the violent minority do what they want.

They don’t ask for permission.

Miss Scarlet is referring to the same group that protest AGAINST the women’s rallies. If we looked at the protestors in London this weekend and compared them with the ones who protest the women’s meetings and events we will likely find some of the same people. So not just figuratively but literally the same group.

JHound · 21/04/2025 17:35

Aha.

So women’s rights protestors are unique among all protests in that there has never been a violent minority who cause trouble.

Fascinating.

I mean the actual women's rights protesters don't include a contingent of shit heads who give the rest a bad name.

At women's rights protests, the women who show up to defend their own rights manage to behave in a civilised manner, but the atmosphere is invariably spoiled by "trans rights" protesters showing up to protest against women's rights and behaving like violent thugs.

At trans rights protests, feminists respect trans activists' right to protest even though they are literally protesting against women's rights and stay away, but the atmosphere is still spoiled by the same violent thugs who can't even manage to behave themselves at their own events.

So no, not "all protests".

Trans activists. It's just trans activists who have no respect for women or the law.

Would you like to point out the women’s rights protestors in the UK campaigning for female people’s single sex needs to be prioritised over gender identities who have had a sub-group of violent women’s rights campaigners at the event? There is at least one meeting or event every few weeks, they are generally on YouTube.

Just name one occasion.

Women generally aren’t as violent as men.

Protests or wherever we just don’t use violence as much.

Men do, particularly when women say no.

Yeah because women's rights protestors aren't aggressive misogynist men who expect to get what they want with intimidation and threats of violence. Weirdly.

Venn diagram of aggressive misogynist incels and TRAs, anyone?

Trans activists might want to ask themselves why they have a violent minority.

Should we start posting the protests in the UK where there were male protestors using intimidation tactics and sometimes violence to protest the women’s meetings?

Happy to if you want to review them and point out the women behaving violently and intimidatingly. I am sure we can link you up immediately with about 20 links showing just what we mean.

You are not the only person who is completely unsurprised that the "trans rights" protesters included a group of people threatening violence against women.
