Who is going? I'm def up for it

[Stickystickstick]

I’d have loved to come to this but two kids under 10 that I’d have to bring don’t need subjected to the harassment of trans activists outside.

[sexnotgender]

Looking forward to the meeting tonight!

[sexnotgender]

Ooh, sisters uncut had a placard and banner making session the other day! Excited to see their handiwork...

[SuperLoudPoppingAction]

In fairness they had quite an attractive one in Glasgow.

My badges are better though

[Freshlylaidterf]

I cant go now. Im sick. Totally gutted. Iv emailed awp to let them know but not sure if they can give my place to someone on the cancellation list. Does anyone know?

[cista]

Wtf? Sisters Uncut are making anti-TERF banners?

[sexnotgender]

Seem to be

[newyearsameme80]

I totally agree with their banner, that's why it's important that women still have the right to single sex spaces.
I thought sisters uncut was some reference to FGM, I take it I'm wrong?

[BearFoxBear]

I've emailed the organisers re a waiting list but I've not had a response :(

[Freshlylaidterf]

Thats a shame. I hate the thought of my place going to waste. I will email them again. Can you get there at short notice ?

[BearFoxBear]

Yes, I'm local, so getting there fast is no problem.

[sexnotgender]

By sisters uncut are they essentially men then?

[sexnotgender]

Anyone want to meet beforehand?

[sexnotgender]

PM me if you want to join us beforehand- got 1 taker already.

[frogclimber]

I was hoping to go and am also on the waiting list but haven't heard back. Anyone else heard anything since the last update?

[SuperLoudPoppingAction]

Check email spam for eventbrite emails. I just found one in there

[Freshlylaidterf]

BearFoxBear
Sorry they havent replied, Looks like my ticket will go to waste. How annoying

[PlonitbatPlonit]

Check your inbox in mumsnet too!

[WiltedDaffs]

Sisters uncut is an offshoot from the UK Uncut group that sprung up at the start of austerity. The name is to do with government funding cuts. They claim to be a feminist offshoot, either they never were or they've been infiltrated.

[BearFoxBear]

Freshlylaidterf I'm in!

[collieflowers]

I am completely fuming (polite word for it) that I didn't make it tonight. But the last time I went to Edinburgh in the snow I got stuck halfway through Fife at midnight and I'm working early so can't risk it. It's the first snow we've had this winter! Anyway I really hope everyone who gets there is going to share all the details here. Please.

[Freshlylaidterf]

BearFoxBear
Great!

[Freshlylaidterf]

Yes, please share. I know Iv said before but I really am gutted.

[BetsyM00]

I bowed out of going due to horizontal snow on the A9.

Tweets from the meeting are at #WPUK. There are a few protesters chanting outside with their faces covered, but otherwise seems to be going well.

[Fekko]

Good luck, all, have a great night (and report back!)
