WPUK Truro - 9th June

[Writersblock2]

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

Pours and for battle-weary Melamin

Thanks so much

I came to this thread and it is an oasis of calm in spite of the attempts to derail.

I really want the meeting to go ahead even though I cannot go myself. I am sure I am not alone.

I was in two minds as it's a long way but I am determined to go now.

@Melamin

Feel the same...sigh

I see the war still rages "over there".

Time for 

@Writersblock2 - wish you all the best for a successful meeting and thanks you yourself and the local team who organised it. I'll be tuning in on live feed if available or twitter.

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

Eresh... I don't know a single Trans Rights Activist personally or afaik acquainted with one. So far from chums. In fact some of the stuff I see written by certain "TRA" probably gets up my chuff more than it does yours.
However, I've read about these meetings and watched them. They're often referred to as debates but they simply aren't. They are nothing more than community centre echo chambers and recruiting grounds. Which is a shame because I would prefer more debate and less vitriol all round.

@SwearyG

You were asking about accommodation up thread. I have a spare room in my holiday home if you want it.
Its twin beds.

They inform. They explain the implications with real live situations.
Lucy Massoud for example.
AGP explanations from someone who has tracked the history for decades.
A live impromptu conversation between the leader of the WEP and an Academic who was ousted by trans people.

Lesbians who have had their communities filled with men blowing them apart. I was at a meeting last week with 75 vey unhappy lesbians. They brought themselves together to talk about their own situation.
Ousted Labour party officials heartbroken about their party.

Don’t dismiss this. It’s real.

Picasso, I really, really want to go, but I'm 7 hours away and I have 3 kids to get to school (plus one in the middle of gcse's!). a woman's work is never delegated...

I want live streaming (please please)

I took SarahConnor1’s suggestion and watched some trash TV and contemplated my navel. Much better now.

We are working on live-streaming and various other things. I’d rather like a pin badge that declares me as an old fashioned cunty woman but that might have to wait.

We have space if more women wish to travel down! It’s going to be great. I mean, it’s Cornwall! Nothing ever happens here, and look what’s going on! I was in Truro earlier and I turned to my husband and said “next week this place is going to be packed with feminists. Isn’t that amazing?” (Poor bloke).

You will have a ball, Writers. Every time I've watched this stuff, the women are literally buzzing afterwards. Hope you don't get too much stress in the meantime - you're doing a grand thing

YY. The meetings and socialising after are so great. Consciousness raising is powerful. Female energy is powerful. (Sorry to sound a bit woo) 🍷

Well done, OP, for literally keeping the show on the road. So important.

Posie's statement.

Glad the trash tv helped OP. Hope it all goes well, it's a little too far for me to travel otherwise I think I would come along.

We’d love to have you!

It's about a billion miles from me (an exaggeration) but would take the best part of a day to get there, alas work gets in the way.

Well, we will be live streaming (hopefully) and we have a sparkly new twitter account to follow (@ let_woman) :)

Looking forward to the live stream!

Do you reckon I could watch the live stream on my phone from a concert?

I’ve got a ticket!

We haven’t sold any tickets this afternoon. Hope yours went through okay, @CunningOperative :)

Oh, I bought it on Thursday (and I think we spoke on facebook). Just thought I'll let the world know so you can all be as excited as I am
