Yes I know there was a palaver in Truro but this will Be a brilliant event with some fantastic speakers.
The Eventbrite is only showing Helen saxby at the moment but there will also be Ruth serwotka from WPUK, kathleen Stock, lecturer in philosophy and Gill Smith, detransitioned woman.

It will be a brilliant event with top class speakers. Hoping to see you all there!

Do you think they'll delay for a week for me so it's the school holidays and I can come...? Wink

Kathleen Stock will be speaking at WPUK Brighton

There has been a challenge to her attending by a prominant TRA, Fox Fisher.

Fox from 'gay people = degenerates' fame?

R0wantrees · 02/07/2018 15:10

It was Fox Fisher's experience which James O'Brian was so inspired by when 'robustly challenging' women raising concerns about the changes to Top Shop's policy on changing rooms,

freerlives.wordpress.com/2017/11/16/lbc-and-access-to-female-changing-rooms/

'LBC and access to female changing rooms'

"James: …inside, they’re absolutely, absolutely, female… Fox Fisher who’s … an activist in this field… he was born a girl and he had explained to me in painstaking detail how he always knew he was a boy. So I just want you to tell me what you think he’s doing. Is he lying or is he… being brainwashed by someone? Or, because if you told me something about your… innermost soul and self…"

I will be there. Hastings was excellent and sold out. Might get DH to drive so that I can have a drink after this one!

HarryLovesDraco · 02/07/2018 17:04

Fox fisher is now non binary so clearly their deeply held belief that they were a boy wasn't quite right...

Take the day off! Sunshine, beach, cycle on the prom then finish it off listening to great speakers and maybe a beer or two.

Ereshkigal · 02/07/2018 23:08

Sounds wonderful! I am out of the country that week or I would.

HarryLovesDraco · 03/07/2018 12:34

Hooray!
There will doubtless be pub going afterwards and jubilant drinkage we hope

Thanks Posie I think we can manage fine without your advice. Didn't ask for it, not sure why you think we need it.

It's a public forum. But I had already asked for that comment to be removed. I think the Morning Star letter in which Woman's Place reference Venice Allan's event in Bristol and refuse to mention her made me cross, I shouldn't have commented when so angry.

therealposieparker · 04/07/2018 08:12

By The Way I was the person on James O'Brian.

signed another unmentionable.

HarryLovesDraco · 04/07/2018 08:17

Thanks for saying that. As you know, the meetings are organised by local women. We would not have been able to do so without the experience and financial backing of WPUK and I would hope that even you would rather a meeting went ahead than not? Especially in one of the most trans activism friendly cities in the U.K.

Whatever your views on WPUK may be, we have some top class speakers (all women) and it will be a brilliant event. Trashing it in public is a bit of an own goal for the cause you support don't you think?
