Jamie Pallas, of transrights organisation Gendered Intelligence said the language used at the meeting was harassment and discrimination under the Equality Act, adding that accusations that transactivists were silencing debate was unfounded.
Community organiser Lucy McDonagh, who attended the event, said she had been labelled a bigot for asking questions about proposed changes to the Gender Recognition Act. “Literally just asking a question if these changes could potentially affect women’s safe spaces is deemed as being transphobic. So lots of women, especially working class women, are scared to ask,” she said. “We have had to access this particular space because no one else has allowed us to speak about it. We are trying to find out about law, and we are trying to find out why women have been cut out of the conversation that statistically most affects them.”
Writer and artist Shon Faye said the meetings disproved the accusation that women were being silenced. She said groups opposed to changes around self-identification often resorted to inaccurate information and demands for debate often descended into transphobic abuse
So being blocked from Twitter and Facebook isn't happening, the attempts to lose women's activists jobs are figments of our imagination, the Millwall decision wasn't due to harassment by TRAs, David Davies' comment about not having had this number of calls to deal with and the fact the WPUK meetings are effectively held in secret are all fairy stories?
