Come and say Hi to me if you're at the Bristol Woman's place talk tonight.

[therealposieparker]

I've got curly brown bob length hair, too much make up, 5'1 and in all navy.

Please come and say Hello!!

So gutted I missed out on tickets! Hope all goes well. A group called Sisterhood Uncut will be picketing apparently, because ‘trans women have been at the forefront of feminism’ for years

Uncut?? 🍆

Is it this group?

If so back in 2015 they seemed to be all about domestic violence. Another TRA takeover since then perhaps?

It's a regional branch: Sisters Uncut Bristol, 'trans women have always been at the forefront of feminist activism' activists.

I hope it goes well and the protesters are kept away/in line by the police. I wish I was going to be there. Solidarity in spirit.

I so wish I was going, tickets sold out before I could buy them
Is it worth going to stand outside in support or is that just asking for it as they say

Seems there’s a few of us around! I’d love to meet other local gender critical feminists, not sure how we could organise this without risk though
Just the fact I have to type the above is ridiculous, it’s like McCarthyism isn’t it?

Hope it all goes well. I was too late for a ticket, but will be there in spirit.

'trans women have always been at the forefront of feminist activism' activists.

Ah. This will be the same transwomen who actually started the Stonewall riots, then?

KnitFastDieWarm Superb name

I would love to meet people when there is a meeting near to me. It not an unreasonable aspiration to be able to meet like minded people for entirely legal purposes. Yet it is ridiculously difficult.

I'm sitting in front of you! Hi!

ooh how’s it going? Where there many protesters?

Ooh, would love to know what it's like! Who are the speakers?

Gutted I couldn’t get tickets for this would love to hear how it goes

There will be some more nearby.

I’m sorry I missed meeting you @therealpisieparker and @distaffside

I was dashing from Work (an hour away) and bumped into a colleague also coming to the meeting (we exchanged cryptic “Are you here for a certain feminist meeting?” At Bristol Temple Meads. Had to dash just after 9:30 to get my train home.

But it was a great meeting wasn’t it? It took me back to the late 70s/80s when I was optimistic about change for the better.

I was struck by how lucid, logical and reasonable all the speakers were. And their talks were evidence-based and grounded in the material realities of women’s lived experiences in our sexed bodies.

I particularly liked (and was heartened by) the Welsh politician who reassured us that most people think the TRAs’ demands are, as she put it, “bonkers.”

I did the roaming mic. Raging.

You were great! It was very fair, efficient, and you are fast & nimble!
