Come on, you wonderful women, I’m making a last push here to invite you down to Truro, Cornwall. Come and hear Posie Parker, Miranda Yardley, Jean Hatchet and Judith Green speak. You know you want to....

Tickets still available at Eventbrite

Is Miranda coming to the new event?

Writersblock2 · 01/06/2018 17:04

No. Unfortunately Miranda can’t attend (for a completely unrelated reason) but I have spoken to him and he supports this event and has expressed interest in attending another event (if we can make it that far Grin)

@SwearyG, think we met at the one in Oxford; if you or any friends are attending it might be possible for me to give a lift, even just one way (as I'd be staying overnight). Just need to make sure I can still book a premier inn and get a ticket before committing.Grin

Jeanhatchet · 01/06/2018 17:51

I'm offering both my spot on the platform and my booked room to any woman of colour who would like to speak instead of me. I've already paid for the room and any woman would be welcome to
It. I'll drive down to listen to you and then drive home. Please don't take this as anything other than a wish to show that I feel that if a woman of colour has concern that some women may feel excluded from the debate on laws around gender identity then they should have access to go and express that frustration and hopefully also go and talk about their specific concerns about gender self-identification.

Have posted this on both threads. As not sure which one people are reading and would very much like a woman to take this up.

ToeToToe · 01/06/2018 18:02

Nice one, Jean.

Someone earlier suggested Lucy Masoud - I know she's in London, but I think there are people travelling from London already?

They're still tearing each other's throats out on the other thread, (playing right into the misogynist's hands - they love to get the women fighting) so I'm not sure anyone noticed your post...

Good luck to all involved Wine

SwearyG · 01/06/2018 18:05

Suns over the yardarm ToeToToe so I’ll join you in the Wine

I PM’d you Science to let you in on our travel plans.

The other thread is quite distressing isn’t it? I am quite disheartened by today.

ToeToToe · 01/06/2018 18:08

I'm that close to giving up on the whole thing, tbh, Sweary. Except that's what "they" want, and I'm a stubborn old bird, so I won't.

We'll just wait for the fight to blow over, sweep up in the morning Wink Wine

My heard hurts! Confused
On the bright side, I’ve always been fabulous at digging my heels in. So I just feel a bit like some tree that has its roots in deep, and I’m being buffeted and blown about by the storm, but I’ll still be here when it has passed.

We do have a fourth slot open, so technically we can have Jean and someone else. :)

I'll join you all in a Wine.

Sarahconnor1 · 01/06/2018 18:37

I bumped jeans offer in the other thread, but they are still kicking lumps out of each other. So it will likely be overlooked which is a shame.

Even better - Jean should speak.

ToeToToe · 01/06/2018 18:40

They don't want the chance to speak Sarah, they just want to disrupt the meeting.

Exactly. That's what this whole thing is about.

Yep. At least one of those posters is anti gender critical.

Sarahconnor1 · 01/06/2018 19:13

It's a world of weird that thread now. I'm might watch some shite TV and come back later when they have worn each out.

Nice to know nobody gives a shit about giving a platform to someone who tweets like Katie Hopkins lite... If I didn't feel welcome in the debate before I certainly fucking don't now. But it's ok as it doesn't affect white ppl hmm
Have you ever watched one of these meetings online? I've yet to see debate. They're nothing more than rallies.

Ereshkigal · 01/06/2018 19:42

That will be because #nodebate from your TRA chums, dear Poula.

Melamin · 01/06/2018 19:58

Have you any more Wine ?

I have had a shit day and the squabbling on the other thread has finished me off.

Gin too please.

Picassospaintbrush · 01/06/2018 20:01

Terrible thread Melamin. Actively sabotaging, well attempting to, a meeting.
