Bristol meeting tonight.

[therealposieparker]

It's going to be amazing. Please come.

A famous trans activist is coming. Film crews (yes more than one). Feminist royalty. This event is a game changer.

Have the transactivists all gone to the pub? They were making a right racket throughout Heather's speech.

Whos the famous trans activist?

Im trying to watch but my signal is terrible

There are so many of us I'm sure, who are sitting here in our rooms, willing you on. We can't be public yet, for the very reasons you all set out.

Thank you to those of you brave enough to do this. To face the onslaught of aggression, you are awesome. I'm just sorry I'm not with you. But every step you take, you help us all find a voice.

Munroe Bergdorf is there somewhere filming their documentary about what is a woman.

Apparently there were lots of cameras and news etc outside at the beginning. The TAS probably left when they did, reality TV culture isn't it

I mean all that virtue signalling is pointless if noone is watching

Munroe Bergdorf is there somewhere filming their documentary about what is a woman.

So I'm guessing we can expect very little if anything of the excellent points the speakers have made to feature in the final documentary?

Probably not. Munroe is another example of a (trans person who is not female) who might look sorta passing under careful posing and photoshop but stood next to women in an everyday context the difference is unmistakable.

(There are pictures on twitter from outside the venue)

Nicola is fab!

Sheila Jeffreys on the mic :D

Munroe has allegedly left (noisily) now after heckling over Heather.

Lord forgive me, but the mike is terrible, and it's taken a good few minutes of confusion before I realised Sheila Jeffries was saying 'Gender' not 'Jenga'

What was the principle that Sheila was talking about? Did anyone catch the name?

yogyakarta principles

I think it's yogyakarta principles.

She also mentioned Resolution 2048 of the Council of Europe

Thanks. I'd never heard of it, had anyone here?

Im a bit disappointed Munroe was there to disrupt, rather than debate.

Why do none of these people believe in free speech, or debate, or critical thought?

If they genuinely believe they are right, they should have an argument to put across, rather than intimidate the brave women attending

I looked it up after I saw it mentioned in the Scottish GRA Consultation document, to back up their claims of self ID as international best practice.

Did they know Bergdorf was going to be there filming? Flounced off apparently, prob needed some more oxygen for the gaslight.

My last post was in reply to HerFemaleness

Is it the person who asked the question who walked out half way through the response?
