MissTeri 100x yes.

[Wanderabout]

Not being psychic about my inner gender identity and using matching preferred language = evil

Shouting at woman loudly and aggressively that she is a cunt = what? Righteous indignation?

That woman in Magdalen's video. 'You f* c*! My pronouns are they!'. Jesus. H. Christ

YY. Were they wearing a badge or something? I'm not quite sure how Bern's was meant to know this individual wished to be known by a pronoun other than the one used to denote their sex.

If they remade the young ones Rick would be trans wouldn't he, or non binary. This is misogyny, pure and simple, this is why women have been persecuted in the past, women who speak up are easy to hate.

[Poppyred85]

Where were the police in all this? I heard someone (Julie? Heather?) say they were already in there. Why weren’t they dealing with these people or if they couldn’t leave where they were asking for support?

[MsMcWoodle]

From what I understand the police were around but not active or visible.

[AncientLights]

Can this be passed to the police? I think I heard on the video that the organisers were blocked in downstairs, so took that to mean they were effectively being held prisoner by these piles of shit, or did I mishear? I know the bunch we saw kept oh so kindly telling the women they were free to leave, so weren't 'imprisoning' them but surely some offence of some sort was committed? Not that the little shits could be recognised because they're such cowards they cover their faces.

[HermionesRightHook]

Regardless of whether she's right or wrong, whether I'm right or wrong, on this issue, that's a disgusting way to behave and those little shits should be ashamed of themselves for stifling legitimate debate and discussion from a different marginalised perspective.

For the record, I am completely pro-trans rights and I think Julie Bindel is on the wrong side of history. But I also think that there is a serious conversation about safe spaces for cis-gendered women to be had. I disagree with her but she's a serious journalist and a serious feminist and the only way to work through this serious issue is by talking, not dicking about on the stairs like aggressive 8 year olds trying to bully their siblings.

Bet you a tenner half these people aren't trans at all. They're entitled posh boys reinterpreting identity politics to bolster their white male privilege

[Abouttoblow]

Absolutely fucking apalling!!

I watched the live feed and heard them mention this but had no idea how bad it was.

[thebewilderness]

Sisters Uncut took credit for these terrorist actions in Bristol.

You'd lose your tenner. Most posters on FWR are trans going by Stonewalls definition...

Fixed that for you.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

For those who don't know, this footage was taken last night in Bristol as women tried to get into a meeting organised to discuss the Gender Recognition Act. Fortunately, they did get in in the end and the meeting went ahead. The live stream is here: www.facebook.com/TheJamJarBristol/videos/793672257494647/

The police were apparently outside in force but the activists had got in first. (A group called Sisters Uncut is probably mainly responsible. A lot of people are calling them Misters Uncut for obvious reasons.)

[thebewilderness]

Please stop calling these adult males misguided youth. They openly advocate killing women who refuse to submit.

[ReluctantCamper]

I can't get the video to play in full -- how did they get past?

[NotTerfNorCis]

@thebewilderness

So 'Sisters Uncut' are mainly blokes? I'd heard that but didn't realise it was true.

[ReluctantCamper]

and yes, I must admit that mitchell and webb sketch was in my mind.

[TallulahWaitingInTheRain]

OK let me rephrase: bet you a tenner half of these people don't even self-id

[HermionesRightHook]

Bet you a tenner half these people aren't trans at all. They're entitled posh boys reinterpreting identity politics to bolster their white male privilege

Completely agree. These people are steamrollering over a really important cause with their thinly veiled men's rights activism.

[thebewilderness]

But I also think that there is a serious conversation about safe spaces for cis-gendered women to be had.

There is no such thing as a "cis" woman. We are human beings, not isomers.

[MissTeri]

So 'Sisters Uncut' are mainly blokes? well, at least one of them is neither man nor woman - they are a they whatever one of those is!

[thebewilderness]

They are all Self IDing right there on the stairs. Believe them when they tell you who they are.

[TallulahWaitingInTheRain]

They are all Self IDing right there on the stairs

Yup, self-iding as misogynist males
