Am here! Only trouble so far was the lift which kept taking us to the wrong floor. Just waiting for speakers to start.

Livestream is working for me!

Sheila Jeffries talking about cross dressers driving the gender identity rights movement. Very interesting

Loving Sheila Jeffries

also love Anne and Nicole

Me too, assigned.
They are some serious arsekicking women.

she has gone off piste

Lisa M is hilarious!

I want to hear more about the tantrum 😆 I do hope somebody filmed it and it ends up on the interweb for posterity.

posie it does not surprise me you are a Hitchens fan!

I like the variety of speakers on the panel.

Yes I want to hear more on the tantrum too - was it at the beginning of the filming?

Whoever she was, she was not a fan of Sheila!

I actually found the debate about sexual orientation (which is what the lone protestor was objecting to so very loudly) really interesting. And what Shelagh was saying about paedophiles rallying round the concept... really quite chilling.

Oops... meant 'Sheila'.

Thank you Venice for providing a livestream, and being a key organiser.

You were all great. Those who spoke, those who organised, those who attended.

You help to inspire us to keep going in the varied things we're all doing.

But a special shout out to Lisa M, who it was fantastic to see, after reading so much of her twitter feed, in the flesh, on the fly, nail the debate, rationally, passionately.

You all make me inspired, and proud to be a female (by biology :-) )

Thanks for live stream v interesting.

And forgot another shout out to Magdalen :- your shouter from the audience, as always, just made your argument, your rationality, your calmness in the face of mantrums.

They do not seem to realise that their actions every time expose the issue.

What happened to the video? I got as far as the end of Nicole's speech then it cut out & now the page is not even loading?

Is the video available anywhere?

It's on the facebook link at the moment

@IAmNotInvisible I was in the same lift - basement twice/second floor/finally made it!

Great evening of talks, but missed the pub as also had unreliable trains and wanted to be sure I could get home. Still I’m inspired to actually try and do something.

Thanks 2rebecca.

Wow! What a great night!

I will post a thorough breakdown tomorrow, but for right now, let me say this:

1. The protestor was not a TRA. They were GC, but they disagreed with some of what SJ said about sexual orientation.

1. The event was very well-organized and professional.

1. They were so many famous TERFs there! I was fan-girling all night!

Just finished watching to the end - some very interesting details there, I might just DM Venice about a couple of things.

Brilliant meeting. Shiela Jeffries is awesome.
