Ah, one of those woke chaps who speaks out against all forms of hate, except when it’s death threats against women, and then he’s strangely silent.

'The most horrific thing I've seen in a long time...'
Paul Kenyon.

I was going to add a quip but I couldn't think of one and then I realised there wasn't any need.

Paul Kenyon.

Sir. Please pop over to my side of the alps.

I have 43 coffins, many with life changing injuries, many more with mental scars and a shit ton of newly homeless people who think your sense of perspective may have gone slightly wonky.

From those of us currently white-knuckling it over a bridge everyday on the way to work, we thank you for your kind attention in this matter,

Charliethefeminist · 20/08/2018 08:09

He's never mentioned the threats to rape, kill and dismember feminists. I guess they don't horrify him.

Ofew · 20/08/2018 08:41

The most horrific thing I've seen in a long time...

This kind of hyperbole is surely not going to do their cause any good.

ThanksThanksThanks for you and your compatriots, Cesira

AncientLights · 20/08/2018 08:46

Morning all. Just want to say I've been following this but not commented so far. Brava to all you penis designers and posters, you are all terrific. The other side's response is predictable & telling. Even more names to go in my little book of who never to vote for or support in any way whatsoever. What is it with them and the word 'horrific'? Do these men look at their own cocks and think 'that's the most horrific thing I've seen in a long time?' Cartoon, anyone?

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 20/08/2018 08:47

It pisses me off that feminists always begin every statement with "I believe transpeople should live without violence free to express themselves, feelings of the male-born must never be discounted, etc Amen" but woke blokes don't feel inclined to show women the same respect.

In fact I have never heard a TRA, woke bloke, etc, start ANY statement with "We believe women and girls should be free to live their lives without violence and intimidation... blah blah"

Misogynist bastards absolutely revel in this opportunity to beat down and demonise women - no caveats required.

Just shows our disgustingly un-level this playing field is.

Now this

Anti-trans vandals are plastering vile ‘women don’t have penises’ stickers around London
Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 20/08/2018 09:03

An own goal surely, even if they have stolen the hash tag.

CosmicCanary · 20/08/2018 09:06

Its decorated with flowers....is this so it looks more lady like?

God they are creepy, flowers or not women do not have penises.

CesiraAndEnrico · 20/08/2018 09:07

Ofew

Not actually compatriots, yet. But I've been here longer than I lived in my British homeland at this point, so don't have the same emotional immunity of a complete outsider anymore. I'll pass your kind words on to the actual Italians of the household, DH & DS, they'll appreciate it. Flowers

D0do · 20/08/2018 09:07

Grin I hope these new stickers appear everywhere, especially in women's toilets and changing rooms. I suspect those outside the bubble are not going to react the way the woke expect them to.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 20/08/2018 09:08

They don’t see me it seems as I have them blocked"?

Of course people can see twitter

I thought that was the point of twitter

ToeToToe · 20/08/2018 09:13

"Some women have penises" will raise awareness as much as "women don't have penises" - because outside of woke dude-bro beardy circles, people really, really don't believe women have penises.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 20/08/2018 09:19

An own goal surely, even if they have stolen the hash tag

Well yes

Its going to have the same effect on people

Do they honestly think that 90% of the population are going to look at the flowery penis and go ' well duh...of course women have a penis,'

FloralBunting · 20/08/2018 09:21

ToetoToe, precisely. The daft wotsits don't seem to realize that telling Joe Public that a penis is a female organ, especially when you do that by adorning it with flowers, is going to prove the point even more starkly.

Sarahconnor1 · 20/08/2018 09:24

"Some women have penises" will raise awareness as much as "women don't have penises"

I think it will raise awareness more. People read "women don't have penises" and think yeah we know. People read "Some women have penises" most who are currently unaware of the issues will think what the fuck.

MsMcWoodle · 20/08/2018 09:24

Stickerladies - fantastic. The flowers are a bizarre touch, but still.
As usual we don't have to do anything - just publicise what the TRAs are saying.
This wins on two levels:

  1. alerts ordinary people to the crazy
  2. makes it impossible to criticise us for stickering penises everywhere.
BraveAndStunning · 20/08/2018 09:24

Oh I would stick up those 'Some women have penises' stickers. I think they will peaktrans people faster than the originals

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 20/08/2018 09:25

So that's what some call a lady dick.

Same as a male one but with flowers?

It doesn't rape, harm or drive men to do unthinkable things because it is adorned with flowers.

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 20/08/2018 09:26

Dickheads.

AncientLights · 20/08/2018 09:29

Will the 'some women have penises' stickers attract the attention of the police, mayors and other such assorted worthies, do we think? I have to say it's the most horrific thing I've seen in a long time and would want the poster brought to book as I now feel so threatened.

TransplantsArePlants · 20/08/2018 09:34

I think the flowery penises are an EXCELLENT idea. But before the TRAs wake up and realise what an own-goal that would be, someone needs to make a sticker with the two juxtaposed, and let people make up their own minds. The general public has no idea that TRAs like their penises.

Women don't have penises = transphobic hate
Some women have a penis = truth

Now which makes more sense ?

TransplantsArePlants · 20/08/2018 09:36

Brave

I agree

Most people will see the original and think "Uh? that's obvious. Why have they put a rude sticker up to state the patently bleed' obvious"?
