if, not when

Terfing · 13/09/2017 12:07

You could not make this up, you really couldn't! Angry

I know I shouldn't be, but I am so fucking angry about this. Genuine transgender people should be supporting feminists with this issue, listening to our concerns, and making us feel safe.

This is classic male-on-female bullying. It needs to stop! Sad

AssignedPerfectAtBirth · 13/09/2017 12:13

I think you should be terfing. I am furious.

My tweet output is certainly up

JigglyTuff · 13/09/2017 12:28

Wow, Morgan Potts is one very confused young woman.

She has written a hilarious diatribe to Sisters Uncut on her website saying that it's really mean that they exclude her when she's actually a woman. Despite the fact that she identifies as a transman Confused

TheWeeWitch · 13/09/2017 12:43

This kerfuffle is entirely in keeping with the agenda. The transactivists know that as soon as the general public start to really understand the wider issues, their tide of support will dwindle and die. It is imperative that they shut down all debate, stifle thought and discussion and cry TERF TERF TERF!!! at every opportunity.

I hope tonight can go ahead safely and that someone can report on, live tweet or stream what is discussed.

ArcheryAnnie · 13/09/2017 12:46

Have just dipped into Morgan's blog, which has a very tedious piece on being stared at on the tube by a small child, because a man in makeup is OMG so revolutionary, nobody has ever seen it before OMG.

(Morgan had a lipsticked mouth applied on the side of the mouth, not actually on the mouth.)

These babies, who think middle-aged women are so dull, clearly don't realise that we have seen it all before and then some. Men in makeup in the 70s and 80s? Standard.

And female people in short hair and makeup: even more standard. < yawn >

But we all just don't understand how Morgan is just SO INTERESTING, and has SUCH NEW, EDGY THINGS TO SAY.

MacaroonMama · 13/09/2017 12:55

"Nazis and TERFs" bunched together. Why can they not see we just want to talk about it???!!! Why is that so scary?

I am afraid I won't be able to go now - DH cannot get back from work in time and I can't get anyone to babysit. Sorry all. Please stay safe and feedback if you can. Good luck x

JigglyTuff · 13/09/2017 12:59

They're scared because they think they'll be shown up for the bunch of over-privileged narcissists they actually are. What an absolute luxury to believe you can identify your way out of gendered oppression. Oh wait - you can't! which is one of Morgan's complaints.

Meeting tonight is going ahead. Meet at Speaker's Corner, Hyde Park at 7pm and proceed to the venue from there.

Great. I'm in.

Poppyred85 · 13/09/2017 13:38

Nowhere near London otherwise I'd go but please keep us posted here if possible.

ArcheryAnnie · 13/09/2017 13:38

Please keep us posted!

TheWeeWitch · 13/09/2017 13:41

Yes. Glosswitch has just retweeted the details via Miranda.

TheWeeWitch · 13/09/2017 13:43

Agree with you on every point @ArcheryAnnie. Have they never fucking heard of Bowie?!

AssignedPerfectAtBirth · 13/09/2017 14:13

Speaker's Corner is very apt. Love it!

CuntAmongstThePigeons · 13/09/2017 14:46

See everyone at Speakers Corner later. I can't wait!!! Smile

This meeting was barred from its initial venue after threats from trans activists. A major change to UK law must be discussed.

So, so far it's vagina, cunt, me pencils and macaroon?

(Snort. There's one helluva cissexist limerick in there somewhere).

Can't wait.

FerretsAreFeminists · 13/09/2017 16:47

Nowhere near London so I won't be there but keep us updated. And please stay safe Flowers

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 13/09/2017 16:56

Oh, I thought they were the secret code words, Datun.

StatisticallyChallenged · 13/09/2017 17:06

Also miles away, but I hope you are all able to have the discussion you want (and need!) to have without dealing with too much crap.

ArcheryAnnie · 13/09/2017 17:10

That facebook post, explicitly lying about the organisers, and explicitly trying to whip up anger against those who want to meet - what wankers they are.

QuentinSummers · 13/09/2017 17:13

That facebook page is something else! What a bunch of angry people...and they claim we are aggressive!
If I lived near London I would come. Sounds like it will be a good event.

busyboysmum · 13/09/2017 17:19

That facebook page clearly shows why we must fight against having such aggressive violent people in women's private spaces. They are terrifying in their hatred of women. OMG. I don't think the liberal supporters of the trans movement can know how much they hate women. Surely.
