Let's meet up - find/start gender critical feminist groups

[BetsyM00]

There have been a couple of threads recently about finding/starting local gender critical feminist groups in real life, see here and here.

How about we just do it!

If you feel comfortable doing so, please post your nearest large town/city and we can then contact each other by pm (after due diligence with an advanced search) and talk to each other at a local level, and then organise for groups to meet up in real life.

I'll start. I'm in the far north of Scotland so don't really expect anyone very close to me, but would love to find anyone who could meet up in Inverness.

I also know of groups who meet up in Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh who I would be willing to pass on your details to.

Many of us are quite rightly cautious of being out in public on this issue, but are simultaneously desperate to find like-minded women. If anyone has any better ideas for us connecting in real life, please post.

These are the links to the Westminster Magistrate hearing:

Oddly enough, it's worth reading the Richard Littlejohn link in there for a good overview: www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-6116899/LITTLEJOHN-outrageous-Linda-Bellos-dragged-court-violent-trans-activists.html

She (Bellos) is also appalled by the violence directed towards feminists who oppose trans fundamentalism, especially a nasty assault on a radical feminist at a rally in London’s Hyde Park.

Bellos, a pugnacious character who still plays football and boxes at the age of 67, told a meeting in York that if any of these characters attempts to assault her: ‘I will take off my glasses and thump them.’ This was enough to have her reported to police, who for once displayed a modicum of common sense and declined to charge her. But the trans headbangers weren’t deterred.

They have now taken out a private prosecution and Bellos will have to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, accused under the Public Order Act of using threatening language which could cause alarm.

Venice Allan is also subject to the same private prosecution as she uploaded the video to YouTube.

Anyone in Leeds? I'm moving there in a couple of weeks. Don't have much posting history to search though- fairly new to all this!

MANCHESTER WOMEN.

I haven’t RTFT but DM me for leafleting/action.

If any of my fellow women are here and have you already, ace! Look forward to meeting you.

Hello, I am interested. I am in Wirral. I could travel to Liverpool or Chester though x

Hi,
I'm looking for an Edinburgh group - I'm getting crosser and crosser!

Bumping so that we can continue to make connections

@ErrolTheDragon you're close to me

I’m in Northants. First time poster. Long time lurker

Waves to shark

Close to Preston - have sent a dm to the first poster who was near there

south staffs here - would be great to meet others nearby

BayeauxT I looked at the map and worked out the muddy place and and picked a place I'd like to visit. I really don't know anything about Wells cathedral which is a bit shameful. DD was a Cathedral chorister and got to visit and sing at a lot of places, we tried to go too if it was practical but missed the trip to Wells for some reason. Anyway I am happy to drive and it would be fun to meet up or even do some leafleting in company - I got my Fairpaly for Women pack yesterday.

Fairplay for Women

Have made contact with a couple of other GC women locally (via a mildly nerve-racking ‘head above the parapet’ post in a local, closed, women’s fb group, which I thought would be a relatively safe place to start).

We are hoping to meet up in person next week and it feels really positive to have taken this first step towards action. No idea yet where it will lead.

Hi gals and guys, I will be campaigning to raise visibility and awareness in Cambridge in the coming weeks. Here is a link to my first post. I understand that due to the toxic nature of the discourse many prefer to remain anonymous, and do not begrudge any of you that at all - I fully intend to be visible whether or not anyone else feels able to do the same. I'd be extremely grateful for any contact, anonymous or otherwise, via this forum, tumblr ('yourledgerisdripping') or reddit (maniacmagpie, similar post made to r/Gender_Critical). I would love suggestions for how to spread this: I am a retiring soul who has not used much in the way of social networks in the past, and so welcome any exposure. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3374728-Call-for-gender-critical-people-in-Cambridge-UK?watched=1&msgid=81278781#81278781
