Oops forgot the Grin

extract:
"The small, penis-shaped stickers, which feature the statement 'Women don't have penises', have been placed around several UK cities, including Leeds and Liverpool.

LGBT+ group Angels Freedom of Leeds is asking people to take photographs of the stickers, remove them and then notify police.

In a statement, the group said it's 'really important' that all the stickers are reported to police so 'they can be aware of the extent of the impact and take action'.

Rob Wilson, who founded the group, said: "When the city is striving to be a fully inclusive place, with organisations like the Angels of Freedom Project providing grassroots visibility & support for the LGBT+ community it’s disappointing to see these stickers surfacing in Leeds.

"Although it’s likely to be from just a tiny number of people it’s another sign of the importance of the LGBT+ community standing together in mutual respect and support for each other." (continues)

Article on Spiked.

Generally supportive and joining in the stupidity of it all. Used the term trans-skeptical rather than hate group and equated called someone a TERF as the modern equivalent of Witch. But they seem confused as to what feminists are objecting to.
'..a feminist who doesn’t think men who have a sex change are real women'.

Err no. OK you still can't change sex (and become a 'real' woman) but people have no problem with actual post operative transsexuals (and a deal of understanding towards most old school transsexuals) but the fact remains 80% retain their male genitalia and with 500K people falling under the Stonewall definition of trans, the issue with self id is self evident.

There is a comments section for those inclined to politely point this out.

R0wantrees · 20/08/2018 12:44

cont. from above,
"Anyone who sees the stickers can report them to West Yorkshire Police by calling 101 or via the charity Stop Hate UK.

People who are affected by the stickers can also refer themselves to Yorkshire MESMAC for victim support."

AncientLights · 20/08/2018 12:50

Refer themselves to Yorkshire Mesmac for support! Wonderful. I thought they only deal with men, so maybe I should identify as a man and make an appointment- I'm so traumatised by these horrific stickers. Not sure I'll ever get over it.

Ereshkigal · 20/08/2018 12:52

'..a feminist who doesn’t think men who have a sex change are real women'.

This illustrates that most people, including in the media, REALLY don't understand that most of them keep their penises.

Melanippe · 20/08/2018 12:54

Refer to MESMAC? Really? I wouldn't refer a rat there.

BoreOfWhabylon · 20/08/2018 13:01

Not sure if this has already been posted but here is shameless opportunist Harrop's obsequious letter to the L'pool mayor in which he touts for a job.

Adrian is all about being high-profile

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 20/08/2018 13:02

Fucking hell "People who are affected by the stickers can also refer themselves to Yorkshire MESMAC for victim support."

They don't need victim support. If they are that fragile they need to be certified.

CesiraAndEnrico · 20/08/2018 13:04

Last page!

Do we think it might be a good idea for somebody to volunteer to start the next thread with a link to this one soon-ish ?

Pretty sure this will burst out onto the big titles of MSM soon.

Sanctimonious Morph is probably bashing away on laptop as we speak.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 20/08/2018 13:05

MESMAC are the ones who are comfortable with having their staff have sexual relationships with "service users" ie often vulnerable young people?

Interesting.

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 20/08/2018 13:05

Oh my goodness. MESMAC! www.thetimes.co.uk/article/abuse-survivors-charity-yorkshire-mesmac-hit-by-sex-scandal-xbqb3hqbv

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 20/08/2018 13:09

I get the feeling the perverts and pedos want to join hands, make a ring around all the witches 'dying in a fire'... Singing free the penis! Stamp out female resistance to penis! Let them burn!

NothingOnTellyAgain · 20/08/2018 13:09

MESMAC's "victim support" seems to potentially involve exposure to an actual penis, to make the person feel better for seeing a picture of a penis? A cartoon one at that?

I don't get this. Men have been drawing cocks over everything forever. Women have been used to going around, growing up with, seeing scrawls and drawings of erect penises, pensies ejaculating, penises being wanked, all over the place.

These though are sexual assault and poeple who see them need support?

In fact and furthermore women and girls are not unused to seeing real penises in real life, often erect, often being wanked, when they are doing stuff like going to school, going to the park with the mates, going to work on the bus, and so on and so forth.

And yet these stickers are a massive problem and anyone who sees them has been subjected to sexual assault and may need support?

and also.

Fuck off. Men are so feeble. They really have NO IDEA what women and girls put up with on a daily basis do they. (NAMALT but lots and lots are).

Sarahconnor1 · 20/08/2018 13:10

I have just had a look at the mesmac website, to justify only providing advice and help to men it says

It financially supported a number of Gay and Bisexual projects across the country, including MESMAC. In doing so, the government agreed that health promotion initiatives designed and put in place by Gay and Bisexual men themselves, rather than bureaucrats in Whitehall, was the best way to move forwards. After all, Gay and Bisexual men possess the necessary insight, knowledge and skills to combat this virus within their own communities.

Totally understand this pov shame men and trans activist dont treat services for women with the same respect.

Ereshkigal · 20/08/2018 13:10

Sanctimonious Morph is probably bashing away on laptop as we speak.

He already has retweeted Dr Jo O'Grady's ridiculous hyperbole.

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 20/08/2018 13:12

Why are gay or bisexual men traumatised by the statement 'women don't have penises'?

NothingOnTellyAgain · 20/08/2018 13:13

SarahConnor - I think you'll find that men know what's best for women?

Wow this in man hating at it's finest Grin

BraveAndStunning · 20/08/2018 13:16

I LOVE this woman

general ponderings on how the female penis can distinguish itself apart from flowers.

Wings of all kinds, darlings - butterfly, hummingbird, angel... perhaps other wings women keep in their knickers...

D0do · 20/08/2018 13:38

Yorkshire MESMAC? This one?

www.thetimes.co.uk/article/abuse-survivors-charity-yorkshire-mesmac-hit-by-sex-scandal-xbqb3hqbv

'Two visitors to the charity’s offices said that sexually explicit artwork was on display and they hung their coats on objects shaped like erect penises.'

AsAProfessionalFekko · 20/08/2018 13:43

I' be rather offended at hanging to hang my coat on that. I'm sure Id need counselling. Even if it was a nice pretty pink one.

Ereshkigal · 20/08/2018 13:48

'Two visitors to the charity’s offices said that sexually explicit artwork was on display and they hung their coats on objects shaped like erect penises.'

But people with alleged dysphoria who have a meltdown at seeing a feminist sticker of a penis should pop in there for a nice chat about transphobia?

NothingOnTellyAgain · 20/08/2018 13:50

"Two visitors to the charity’s offices said that sexually explicit artwork was on display and they hung their coats on objects shaped like erect penises."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

Jesus wept.
