Millwall cannot host the March event :-(

[MacaroonMama]

Just had an email from Venice Allan saying Millwall have had to pull out of hosting the event 'Transgenderism and the War on Women' due to threats from TRAs.

This is Millwall. They must have some of the best security around. It is dreadful news. We are being silenced.

She said the meeting will still go ahead but at another venue. I feel so sad and so angry.

Maybe add in a link to Action for Trans Health in the meme

Millwall: scared of the horrific violence of women talking Actually I think this is perfect. 🤣

I'm sharing that thought on Twitter to see of somebody can create one that we can all share. Maybe starting with West Ham

Sunderland, Hull city, Brentford, Barnsley and Nottingham forest are next on first team fixtures.

@sunderlandafc

Tweet anyone from Sunderland who is tweeting today.

Have asked SandyDrawsBadly if she could come up with something we could use

They will be arriving for the match now, this needs quick action.

I don’t normally do this, but what about a link to this thread, so they understand what’s going on?

We need to invent a relevant football chant

Yes and someone write a summary.

Is this not the same tactics that the TRAs use?

Millwall, scared a man in a dress will blow up their balls

Is this not the same tactics that the TRAs use?

Any better suggestions are welcome. What would you suggest?

Millwall afraid of men in dresses - not OK
Millwall backing out of hosting a feminist talk - OK

If we resort to the same bullying tactics as TRAs we lose. We win because we have logic and reason and fact on our side - we don't need to resort to what will be called slurs.

DH who is both a fully on board TERF and a lifelong Millwall fan (but not a racist...) is v cross about this, but wants to emphasise that the team will have nothing to do with this - it will be the commercial side of it/premises manager who will have taken this decision. I expect most Millwall fans would be on our side actually!

I’m still waiting for your better suggestions.

How about we all tweet Steve Kavanagh, the Millwall chief exec? About freedom of speech, and protecting women's rights? I will try and find his Twitter handle (am not on myself)

That was not to you PositivelyPERV! Just a thought.

If we resort to the same bullying tactics as TRAs we lose. We win because we have logic and reason and fact on our side - we don't need to resort to what will be called slurs.

I agree. We have to keep our copybook completely unbotted. We cannot allow ourselves to sink to name calling and slurs. We must occupy the high ground here.

I think it is just @MillwallFC. I couldn't see a separate one for him.

AAAGH PositivelyPERF not PERV!!! So sorry. Am typing fast while trying not to lose my three kids in the library...

I’m still waiting for your better suggestions

As I said. Don't disseminate what will be seen as slurs (eg men in dresses), disseminate logic reason and facts.

Frame this around freedom of speech,.protecting women's spaces etc etc. Don't frame it around men in dresses in women's toilets that doesn't work.

This article was tweeted and appears on Millwall Football Club's facebook page:

www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/02/27/millwall-football-club-hosting-anti-trans-campaigner-who-says-raising-trans-kids-is-child-abuse/

That article biased and vile.

I think I may tweet about Millwall's support for women's football (Millwall Lionesses) and ask why they would not support the right to congregate and discuss changes which will allow e.g. Men playing in the women's team etc.
