WPUK: A Woman’s Place Is Fighting Back: Cornwall

[Writersblock2]

WPUK as events continue to take place across the U.K.
Save the date for Cornwall

I will be coming from across the border in Devon let me know when the facebook group is sorted id love to meet up first :)

No FB unfortunately, but if you DM me with the name that you booked your ticket under we will sort something out. :)

@poster Writersblock2 thank you I’ve just sent It 😀

Replied! Bumpity bump bump!

Ticket booked! Keen to meet beforehand, I’m nervous already.

@Scentofwater - DM me your booking name and I'll add you to the list of people who want to meet beforehand. :)

I'm booking tickets when I get paid at the end of the week. I cannot tell you how happy I am that this is happening in Cornwall. Thank you!

I’m really pleased it’s happening too. Things never get down to Cornwall usually! :D

@DearSergio I’m in Exeter too and am interested in going down to this (though exeter would be way preferable)

In fact I’ve just had a thought- I’m (potentially) coming from Exeter on my own and I have a van with 9 seats- anyone want to do a road trip with me?

Thanks for the explanation very helpful! Sorry not always able to be on mn. I'll be passing on the info to any women who might b interested in this event definitely!

Is it booked out yet? Sounds really busy

Booked my ticket. I will be driving hopefully from just over the border. Would like to meet up... will DM writers. Can also probably offer a lift or two to any peeps nearby.

Ok I’m going to book my ticket today and I’m bringing two friends and one of them is bringing a friend. They didn’t know anything about any of this and were eager to hear more. I still have 5 seats in my mini bus if anyone wants to pm me for a lift from Exeter

Thanks everyone who has bought tickets so far. We need to push this so please share far and wide and ask your friends if they want to come along.

Just bought 2 tickets! Going to take my Mum. Will share the event on my Facebook. Pretty sure there will be some backlash from some people on my friend list, but fuck them. I'm fed up with feeling like I can't talk about this.

Bump, I went to London, if you have a chance to go, then GO! Brilliant atmosphere, loads of fun, fires you up!

Ken your party bus sounds fun. I've let an Exeter friend know and will pm you if they are coming.

Cool @Distaffside I may even know her that would be weird eh?!

Good for you pickledparsnip - that’s a good attitude to take. Hopefully you’ll be surprised and some people on your social
media will be up for discussion at least!

Thanks Writersblock2. I think my friends fall into two camps, either "live and let live. It's all bollocks, just be whatever you want to be" and "anyone who doesn't support (ie anyone who questions) trans rights 100% is an evil terf."
It'll be interesting.....
(still trying to muster up the courage to share).

I live in Falmouth, and have some very right on friends.

Definitely go if you can!

I went to a WPUK event, travelled two hours to get there and back again. It was so worth it!

Met some amazing people, including transwomen. Everyone who spoke or who I spoke to were really caring, thoughtful and passionate people.

I was a bit scared of the idea of protesters but they were just students chanting.

Definitdly go if you can, and take your friends!

Thanks, wanderabout - hopefully loads will show up and the event will be a success!!
