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.

Looking forward to the meeting tonight!

sexnotgender · 14/02/2018 09:18

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

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 14/02/2018 10:55

In fairness they had quite an attractive one in Glasgow.

My badges are better though

Freshlylaidterf · 14/02/2018 12:06

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 · 14/02/2018 15:08

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

Freshlylaidterf · 14/02/2018 15:24

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 · 14/02/2018 15:33

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

sexnotgender · 14/02/2018 15:44

By sisters uncut are they essentially men then?

sexnotgender · 14/02/2018 15:45

Anyone want to meet beforehand?

sexnotgender · 14/02/2018 16:31

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

frogclimber · 14/02/2018 16:36

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 · 14/02/2018 17:11

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

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 · 14/02/2018 18:39

Freshlylaidterf I'm in!

collieflowers · 14/02/2018 19:11

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 · 14/02/2018 19:28

BearFoxBear
Great!

Freshlylaidterf · 14/02/2018 19:30

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

BetsyM00 · 14/02/2018 19:57

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

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.

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