For anyone interested there is a debate about the new legislation and gender this Wednesday evening in South London

Miranda Yardley and the Julia Long are speakers. I will definitely be attending so hope to see a few of you there.

I don't know how anyone can argue with footage that blatant.

Well I do. They're delusional.

SilentSilverLights · 15/09/2017 18:55

Yes, pretty scary. And somewhat clearer.

SpaghettiAndMeatballs · 15/09/2017 18:58

Wow - that's very clear now what's going on - and yes, that guy in the pony tail threatening the women from the TRA side that went to try and break it up - Christ - everything screams to stay away from that guy.

SpaghettiAndMeatballs · 15/09/2017 19:00

and SnowCamo - completely intentional - fails on first go round because of the wrist strap (yeah for sensible-ness!), then you can see the only reason they're still in the huddle around Maria is them trying to get it off her wrist, and he comes around for another go and runs off once it's achieved.

The Met can clearly see what's happening here, and I hope they take action on this.

Just wanted to share this blog I just read - it blew me away

Thanks for the new footage.

Flowers for Maria

SpaghettiAndMeatballs · 15/09/2017 19:47

I've liked Sister Outrider on facebook, and that article.

I've not had much come through TRA-wise - and there's an ex-colleague of mine that's much more likely to post feminist memes (of the sensible kind - and he's a gay bloke) - so I'll see if it's just that the people around me are silently gender critical as I hope and I'll not have to lose any family members as friends.

Here is a compilation of the online celebration of the male violence on Wednesday.

Miranda Yardley has just posted about yesterday

theaveragewife · 16/09/2017 08:05

Great video

SophoclesTheFox · 16/09/2017 08:35

Miranda must get so exhausted by all of this. And what a headfuck for him (Miranda does not require people to use female pronouns) that people who purport to be defending rights for transwomen beat up people who just want to hear him and others speak.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/09/2017 08:41

I just got the link for Janice Turners column in the times - someone has started another thread for it so I'll drop mine here as its too good to waste:

That video is excellent. His despair is palpable.

The content is undeniable, but what comes across so tangibly is his sincerity. He's utterly believable. If I had never heard of this issue but merely watched that video, I would believe what he was saying implicitly. There is no side, no agenda.

Thanks Miranda.

Anlaf · 16/09/2017 10:35

Great video from Miranda

And Miranda makes the connection: those violent men are as much as anything like bloody football holligans,: goading, will go to great lengths to hunt their "opponents", immediate to use violence (see that young fella shove his fellow female protestor when she displeased him)

BeyondNoone · 16/09/2017 10:41

Created a YouTube account just to comment on Mir's video. And I subscribed to The Times earlier because of Janice Turner's column Grin

Elendon · 16/09/2017 11:19

Loved Miranda's video.

Watching it on youtube brought me to this. Germaine Greer on the issue.

MissHavishamsleftdaffodil · 16/09/2017 11:33

Very, very well said Miranda.

Elendon · 16/09/2017 11:34

I also think it's well worth watching this.

user1496587010 · 16/09/2017 20:57

That video with Germaine Greer is sad. What she's been robbed of because she won't say a man is a woman. Watching the interviewer (who's name escapes me) tie herself up in knots trying to use the right pronouns to describe a man having surgery to be a 'woman.' Because said person has to be described as a he initially for surgery to be needed but using he might be misgendering....

Badweekjustgotworse · 16/09/2017 21:23

God I love germaine Greer, she's great in that video, bugger it indeed!

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 16/09/2017 21:25

Kirsty Wark is a terrible interviewer.

TheWeeWitch · 16/09/2017 22:16

Good old Germaine, "fer fucks sake!"

MissHavishamsleftdaffodil · 16/09/2017 22:25

Well the interviewer makes a complete twat of herself there, she's completely incoherent.

Well done Germaine.

MichelGarnier · 16/09/2017 22:59

Can I ask, does Miranda refer to himself as transgender or transsexual? And uses male pronouns? I haven't come across him before.
