That's very interesting, @SingleAHF . I have a (female, white, middle class).colleague who goes on all these kinds of marches, she just takes them at face value and assumes they're all about oppressed minorities. The language of the marginalised is used, and weaponised. Of course.

Another day, another chance for mumsnet to bitch about the trans community 🥱

To be fair the protests have fed into that narrative beautifully by many of the trans enthusiasts acting like nasty thugs.

On X people are saying that some protesters have threatened to urinate in the streets to show their discontent! Hmm

Don’t animals do that to mark their territory?

The quicker the government start talking about third spaces the better

Bitch? Commenting on loons with placards with bullet holes and threatening physical violence to women is what we are doing here. Your misogyny is showing.

Best get back to pissing in that bottle now.
Another day another chance to show us who you are.

Moderate Muslims went out of their way to condemn extremism, trans activists seem entirely uninterested in calling out the less savoury elements within their ranks.

Also trans people seem to go on about being violently oppressed a lot more often than Muslims. Making violent threats doesn't fit terribly well with having "we're such poor widdle helpless victims" as a core part of your identity.

You have missed the point.

The point that I stated clearly.

Moderate members of a group are not responsible for extremists and should not be judged for their actions.

Are those moderate protesters standing side by side with those extremists bolstering their confidence?

Yes, a few idiots obviously attended. I think there are 6 or 7 unpleasant signs in the Lily Maynard thread.
An estimated 20k people in London today, show me around 20k signs advocating violence, or accept that the majority were peaceful protestors.

Show me any of the gatherings of women wanting sex based rights and women's safe spaces to be preserved, and show me ONE placard saying we'll kill all trans, or ONE placard that says 'I will make you listen' with bullet holes through it, or ONE that says rape all trans?

Not six or seven - find me ONE.

The signs made by these people definitely deserve bitching about.

With all these types of protests the vast vast majority have no clue about the issues being protested about. They just want something to stick on social media to virtue signal. Ask them any questions about the situation most of them are clueless. Look at all the LGBT protestors carrying signs at free Palestine stating “From the river to the sea”, what do you want from the river to the sea? Murder of LGBT people by a regime who has no qualms about killing people for their sexuality?

The ones who turn up to save the planet rallies (although these don’t seem as in vogue atm) in their SUVs with 3 kids in tow.

The women who turn up at the pro trans rallies without a thought of what TWAW means for women.

That doesn’t sound like something a group of women would do?

But there have already been trans activist protests with urine - it is a thing with them. It speaks of the male rage that animates them.

Let’s make sure we keep all of the receipts

This. The handmaidens really are there (and here) to excuse male rage. They dont get a pass from me.

Hairyesterdaygonetoday · 19/04/2025 20:15

Oops, I messed up my post. I meant to write:

The word ‘hate’ is overused these days. People are accused of hate if they politely express disagreement to a speaker.

What we’re seeing here is genuine hate. These men hate women. They’ve shown us with their ‘Kill TERF’ banners, their disruption of women’s meetings, their violence and death threats, their forcing people out of jobs, their intimidation and abuse. Defacing the statue of a suffragette is an honest and open expression of their misogyny. Sad to see women accepting all this.

Is anyone genuinely surprised by this outpouring of rage? They’ve been gleefully trampling on women’s rights for years. Now the law has dared to stand up to them.

If anyone doubted this was a male supremacist movement (with enabling handmaids), today’s giant mantrum may open their eyes.

Can anybody share those images, for those of us who left twitter?

Boys will be boys.
Even if they don't claim to be.
They are.

Well they would, wouldn’t they? They have no self awareness. It’s all me, me, me and my ‘feelingz’

I've certainly seen TRAs on Twitter using that derogatory word.

Every single tra outing has included violent protestors, not a single Terf outing has ever had violent protestors - how come?

Redorangehaze · 19/04/2025 20:19

Hasn’t the Fawcett society done rather a good job of defacing MF legacy? Weren’t they TWAW? I remember reading a dreadful piece by someone high in the FS lauding TW in their menopause support group.

Blinkingbother · 19/04/2025 20:20

Absolutely disgusting act - their purpose is to be considered women?! Gutless wonders. Anyone wishing to associate themselves with this mindless vandalism is quite simply a dick.
