@drradfem

Thanks! I can handle them with a smile and a nod. But I just wanted to be sure that we are prepared in case things turn bad.

This will be the 7th gender talk I've organised and 5 have had demos, plus the demos at the court houses.

She Wolf and friends assaulted Maria at our very first meeting and I think the whole community realises that was a disastrous own goal. There hasn't been any violence since then.

The Bristol lot were unpleasant and they caught us unaware an hour before the meeting started and it was chaotic with the police but there was no violence.

The worst thing the transactivists do is hassle the venues in to trying to cancel on us. On the actual day they're usually just quite amusing with their masks and crazy slogans. I'm not scared of them at all, especially the London ones that I've met several times.

The TV companies love to film them but I'd much rather they weren't there and we could just get on with our meeting. If there is any violence there will be arrests and it will be broadcast around the world. It's unlikely IMO.

Still, I understand that not everyone has these experiences and would not enjoy the drama and media circus, and that's what the live stream is for, to watch from the safety of your own home.

I'm really looking forward to it. We've sold loads of tickets already and the speeches and discussion will be excellent. Especially looking forward to the pub afterwards

Tickets are selling out for this event so if you want to come, please book soon!

I have my ticket and received a reminder email today. But I'm wondering, must I print the ticket or will it be OK simply to show the electronic version?

If you can print it out, that'd be better. At the Bristol event the police wanted to see tickets

Will you please livestream on Youtube? PP's latest event was done this way and a TON of people watched it.

@drradfem

You've included your phone number in your most recent email? Did you mean to do that?

Yes I'm happy for my phone number to be public but thanks for your concern

My first ever meeting, coming along on my own and very nervous!

Don't be nervous! These are the friendliest and most sisterly events I've ever attended, you'll have a great time.

Don't be nervous Terfnserf - I went to Basingstoke on my own and had a fantastic evening.

I'm coming on my own tomorrow so might see you there in the crowd.

I’m coming on my own too! First time I’ve been able to make one of these events and looking forward to it

Hi - really looking forward to this. Are men welcome?!

Men welcome

See you there Terfnserf! It'll be fun, don't worry

I've booked my ticket, whether I'll get there or not is a different matter, given the train delays/cancellations so far. Bang goes any sightseeing beforehand

Oooo I'm getting excited

Any updates on potential protests?

First post. Have been lurking without comment for months but getting more and more annoyed at being told Women need to shut and put up - a favourite put down from my father.

So, I have my ticket and am en route. Feeling nervous beyond belief.

Is it still being filmed/streamed?

Do enjoy

I hope to watch the live feed (if I can get a go of the I-pad - doesn't work on my computer - browser wrong or something [confusd] )

Ooh this is tonight? Any link to live stream?

IAmNotInvisible, hope you're feeling alright and the event is good!

Will the live stream be via the fb page?
