Just spotted on Twitter that Women's Place are holding a meeting in Oxford next month. I don't think the tickets are on sale yet.

Is anyone on here going to go?

The university statement also demanded that people support Action for Trans Health, whose manifesto says:

"There will be no clinics, and no authorities. We will conduct our own research, and experiment with our own bodies... We demand nothing less than the total abolition of the clinic, of psychiatry, and of the medical-industrial complex. We demand an end to capitalist & colonialist “medicine”.

They also demand the release of all trans prisoners.

If there's biscuits then you've convinced me! Seriously nervous though. Still stuck in the same place!!!

According to Twitter the meeting is being held at the Quaker Meeting House in Oxford.

I'm a Quaker. Our meeting houses are used by lots of groups and the pressure is increasing to "no platform" people. Locally we have pressure from pro Israeli groups to "ban" pro Palestinian groups, and have had pressure from police due to hosting anti fascist groups.

Please send your support to Oxford Meeting.

Hope you have a great meeting. I love the idea of biscuits! Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

SunsetBeetch · 25/04/2018 18:12

Hope you all have a fabulous meeting!

Terfmore, I'm not, but I used to attend meeting. It was nice. Smile My first thought when I heard the venue was 'bloody hell, I hope the TRAs don't trash it' Sad

Doublemint the meetings are a great inspiration. Students in masks should not prevent rational debate

GlomOfNit · 25/04/2018 18:14

Hoping to go as another Mner has got a ticket for me, but we may be cutting it a bit fine! What time are you lot heading over from the pre-meeting venue?

Doublemint · 25/04/2018 18:15

I'm still stuck in traffic!!!!!! Will I be let in if I'm late?!

Melamin · 25/04/2018 18:20

You still have 40mins and it takes a good 5 or so to start. Keeping all things crossed for you Smile

Greymisty · 25/04/2018 18:20

Thinking of those going, hope you have a peaceful and a politely engaging time (with biscuits...the good kind.).

qumquat · 25/04/2018 18:25

Thinking of you all tonight. I'm looking forward to updates.

Stuffofawesome · 25/04/2018 18:28

with you in spirit. Courage calls!

Wanderabout · 25/04/2018 18:35

Am sure you will get in Doublemint

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 25/04/2018 18:36

Good luck everyone, don't forget to channel Ms Obama if you get wound up by any mouthy boys or their handmaidens!

Irishfeminist · 25/04/2018 18:36

With you all this evening in spirit. I read the SU Facebook post and I find it genuinely chilling to see such rank wilful ignorance coming from the supposed brightest academic achievers. They are fucking idiots. Sad

Writersblock2 · 25/04/2018 18:47

This thread is really making me smile. Looking forward to hearing how the biscuits go down (maybe it will become a thing for Mumsnetters attending). Also want to say how proud I am of everyone who is attending. The solidarity between everyone is fantastic and it really makes me feel hopeful when I’m reading about how women are supporting those who are worried about going in alone. Bravo to all of you. :)

I’ll stop being sappy now!

LizzieSiddal · 25/04/2018 18:54

Hope it all goes well!

Watching on twitter. Wish I could have a biscuit Grin

SwearyGodPervert · 25/04/2018 19:01

The protesters didn't show up! Apparently they're down the road at a square, though there is talk about them maybe coming later. Just have to not eat the biscuits in the interim.

Theinconstantgardener · 25/04/2018 19:02

Good luck to everyone attending. Hope all goes well. Can I be cheeky and ask for updates on here if possible? Thanks

Theinconstantgardener · 25/04/2018 19:04

Shouldve said im not on twitter

theaveragewife · 25/04/2018 19:07

Interestingly they didn’t show up at the Birmingham event either, held in the Quaker meeting house.

SwearyGodPervert · 25/04/2018 19:11

Seems I spoke too soon. They're outside now - turning up after the meeting was scheduled to start...
