How dare they.

I think many of them enjoy that element of intimidation of women.

@JHoundcan you see why women are asking for single sex spaces when men react with threats of violence and actual violence?

Did she get sacked?

I am all astonishment at their lack of answer and/or condemnation.

She did indeed. I hope they are all doing great.

I quote, following the 2017 Speakers Corner assault of GC feminist Maria McLachlan/Skepticat:

"Imagine 20 people had punched TERFs. Imagine if every TERF left bruised and bleeding. They would stop organising".

this was a TRA tweet, by a reasonably prominent TRA at the time.

This and many more on this thread, where we translated the slur “TERF” to what it actually means: “women who say things I don’t like”: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/3242186-Fun-new-game-TERF-translator

Related thread: this delightful little ditty. IIRC one of these men turned out to be an abuser.

No, she was forced to apologise. Though it was one of those 'I did it to protect my trans friends' so bit pointless. Dunno what she thought the baby was going to do - crawl towards them threateningly?

And she was at that point (still is ifaik) the aide to a Labour MP who displayed such intimidating behaviour to Miriam Cates in the House of Commons after a heated debate that other MP's had to sit next to Miriam so that she had some support.

I understand! I’ve a lot to catch up on on this thread, I think - I usually try to read everything before posting, but, wow, is there a lot to read right now!

1. Strangely enough like many women I have children to look after and feed and a life that sometimes takes me away from Mumsnet
2. I actually don't owe you an answer here. I don't feel comfortable acting as a spy on the FB page going through posts and answering specific questions from here.

I have told you that there is consternation about the behaviour of certain people at the demo, a feeling that it gives everyone a bad name, and there are proposals to try to clean up. That is all I am going to say and if it's not enough detail or specificity for you, then oh well.

Sad.
Id have thought nooses and knives for terfs and inciting violence would be more important
…….not surprised though.

We’ll wait and see if anyone at the demo shops all those law breakers

Absolutely this!

sorry, complete lurker here 😊

I don’t agree that trans women are women, I just don’t think it’s possible for them to know what it feels like to actually be a woman. But (strangely I think) we as women aren’t allowed to say that IRL are we?

To that shouty man in Scotland, I want to shout back ‘give them periods! Give them menopause!’
They can fcking have those if they want to feel what being a woman is really like.

When have I ever said I don’t see why women want single sex spaces?

Yeah none of that stuff is what they think being a woman is. Certainly not the AGPs. It's Andrea Long Chu defining being female as "an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes”. Or Heather Herbert talking about 'taking off my knickers and spreading my legs' to dilate his surgical creation in a Gatwick disabled toilet (and taking pics). You probably don't want to know what they think about what being a woman is.

@ItWasTheRightThing I'd feel uncomfortable saying that because it's so fetishised, they'd enjoy that

Urgh, I’m underestimating these people aren’t I?

@Nameychangington that Herbert man if it wasn't so revolting is hysterical.

But the use of a disabled loo ,well, shows how breathtakingly selfish the man is how dare he. And he would have preferred to do that in the ladies loo?

There are never ever enough females loos as it is clubs, pubs theatres, even museum and art galleries don't have enough female loos and they want to add to the burden?

I was in a loo last week and a mum was changing her baby and then had to navigate no larger baby change loo and have to the door propped open so she could watch her child!!
I remember having to do that as no where to put baby!!

The whole invasion is a disgrace.

In their own words

For so many, I believe the majority, it’s a sexual kink nothing more complex than that

I don’t know why this isn’t acknowledged

Because it was sold as the next big cause in human rights and plenty of people were naive enough to buy that. Now they don't want to admit they got it so wrong

So you don’t condemn their horrendous behaviour. Noted.

Is this real? The infamous 'Beth'?

Any chance up you could enlarge. When I try to the words are all blurred.
if you can…thanks

Is this any better?

I can’t believe some of the sick crap I have just read
I don’t even know how to begin to digest the absolute depravity of it all

Thankyou @Waitwhat23 This should be posted everywhere !
