How dare they.

another day another chance for the trans community to give mumsnet a chance to talk about them

What a pathetic bunch of wankers.

As a PP said, the misogyny is real. At least some of them hate us because they want to be us and know they can't be.

And yet again for all the wrong reasons! You’d think they’d have educated themselves about how women, on the whole, behave by now….

My thanks to Lily for posting the photos. They really want to harm women, don’t they.

....... by defacing the statue of a feminist icon 😡

I like the one where the person in the mask holds a sign saying ‘transphobes’ are the cowards.

How many of the FWS women were wearing masks as they celebrated in public? None. That’s right.

Of course defacing the statue of a woman hurts people. It’s meant to intimidate women.

Has anyone got a copy of the placard in Manchester, saying "I will piss where I want"? Someone told me about it, but I haven't seen it.

Let. Them. Speak. (shout, screech, stamp their feet)

I've seen footage of trans activists screaming fag at gay men on numerous occasions here and in the USA.

To be fair, you can’t blame your average trans person for ‘letting’ lunatics do lunatic things. How are they supposed to stop them? Anyone who does try gets abused the same way Gender Critical women do. Look at Miranda Yardley? Fionne Orlander? Rose of Dawn, Blaire White? Any criticism of the TRA movement whatsoever is met with shouts of ‘truscum’ and accusations of not really being properly trans and betraying their community. Blaming them for letting TRAs be violent lunatics is akin to blaming women for ‘letting’ men claim to be women.

And some of those urine donors need better hydration. That fella is never going to get the smell of the splashes out of his boots or his frock.

So no placards saying:

Trans rights matter! We demand our own sports categories / toilets / prison wings / refuges...

plenty of men do this already

Julia Long has been assaulted by TRAs

I've always hated that ugly statue. I remember walking past on a Sunday morning and seeing an Indian-looking man selling tea towels to a group of tourists. Oh the irony...

I don't know who designed it but it's awful.

The Mary Wollstonecraft statue is even worse!

Sometimes I wonder if these statues aren't piss takes.

Sorry but I have seen NO signs like this at any GC marches or public gatherings. None. And none on marches for other causes I support. But it’s quite the feature of TRA protests. The organizers should have been clear such placards were not acceptable and demanded they be removed. They didn’t though, did they? Why is all that?

We’ve been in this movement a decade. We have all experienced the threats and intimidation, from your side, including the attempts to stop us from being able to provide for our families and ourselves by getting us sacked. . You can’t gaslight us that yours is a peaceful movement. And I suggest you stop gaslighting yourself too.

Protesting biological reality is genuinely ludicrous. Carrying signs threatening women with violence is disgusting, and just further proves why the majority of women don't want these men near their spaces. Funny enough I don't recall ever seeing any placards wishing harm on trans people at any womens rallys? Fine when it's against women though ain't it.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. The whole movement strikes me as very homophobic. Lots of ‘transing the gay away’ going on.

@Diverze you do understand that something being legal does not compel everyone to approve of it?

Yes, a trans activist could quite likely use the word 'Fag', as it's being reclaimed, in thevsame way that Queer was.

I don't think it was a clever piece of propaganda by a feminist, I doubt that many people on that protest knew who Millicent Fawcett was, to them it was a statue of a woman, so of course up for grabs.

😂 you WISH

We - biological women - asked the Supreme Court nicely to have our rights protected. The trans community are only relevant because for some pesky reason many of them don’t want girls and women to have safety, dignity or sex-based rights. The TRAs are only ones kicking off as far as I can see.

It's getting nasty, I had a look at their sub reddits and their are now many posts saying that the whole like of "sex and gender is different" which was their line in the first place was a mistake and that they need to reclaim the terms female and biological for themselves. They are also claiming that by transitioning they do in fact change sex and become female women and that anyone who says otherwise is just a bigot who doesn't get the real nature of biology.

Why I have to wonder do they so desperately need access to women's spaces? Most women would support a separate third space for transwomen. Why does it always hinge on access to spaces where real women go and anything else is literal violence and making them not exist?

I fear that these males will not give up trying to access women's spaces ever.

And the Fawcett Society wouldn’t dare to object even if they wanted to.

This one?

Yeah but moderate Muslims, to use your phrase, openly condemn Islamist terrorists and publicly say they are not Muslims.

Whereas Trans Allies like you are happy to stand next to those holding signs calling for violence and death to women, and minimize these signs rather than condemn them, just like you are doing now.

Thats quite the difference
