Enjoyed this para:

"The stickers first caused controversy in London this month when they were stuck around the city, including outside the offices of the LGBT advocacy group Stonewall, as well as the Guardian."

Nice work, girls.

I think it's notable that "trans hatred" is in inverted commas both times in headline and body of article.

Progress?

Sadly there is no comments section on the Guardian article. They clearly don't want to know the publics opinion on this.

BraveAndStunning · 20/08/2018 13:25

Love the John O'Groats one.

SnuggyBuggy · 20/08/2018 13:27

Where do you get these stickers from? I'm tempted to have a go myself.

NotTerfNorCis · 20/08/2018 13:29

It leads on the 'trans hatred' thing though and lets TRAs have their say before the feminists. The feminist view is rushed through and not fully explored. This is still a biased article.

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 20/08/2018 13:32

We totally need one at Lands End... I wonder if Sticker Woman might make a detour on the way to the Plymouth LWS meeting?

Wouldn't it be great if you could do a little 'penis' trail across the country - like orienteering where you get to tick them off on a chart, or capture them like Pokemon Go!

For those of you on Twitter, the Guardian have posted the article on there, and you can comment that way.

Boys and men (yes, grown up men) have been drawing cocks (most erect) and balls for millennia.

But when women do it - hate speech! Call the police. Get the police involved in it and hunt those hateful women down.

What exactly are the police going to do once the women have been outed and caught? Put them in jail to make an example of them?

It all smacks of imprisoning women for having miscarriages and abortions.

“These stickers are puerile and disgusting." said white non-female yacht owner Sarah "suck my formaldehyde pickled balls" Brown, who allegedly lives off a trust fund and is a member of the LibDemLGBT group, who the Liberal Democrats claim are not actually an official Lib Dem group.

Brown, a self-confessed expert on "the smegma-like mixture of dead skin cells, gynaecological lube, stale urine (gives it its distinctive smell) and sweat that is sometimes present as a white residue on the end of a dilation stent when a post-operative trans woman withdraws the stent after dilating her neovagina”, was speaking from Cambridge, where Brown recieved harsh criticism recently from local Councillor Ann Sinnott for misleading Cambridge Council about national legislation and pushing a local policy that breaks Equality Law and discriminates against women, in order to pacify non-female people who want everyone to pretend they are women lest they are driven to nervous breakdowns and suicide threats. Councillor Sinnott has now resigned in protest at the introduction of Brown's illegal and misogynist policy, after Cambridge Council put off dealing with it until later this year, leaving women at risk in the meanwhile.

Sarah Brown previously caused controversy in 2014 when Brown made several anti-lesbian and misogynist comments including that "lesbians must be sexually frustrated" and "vaginas are offputting", leading to lesbians staging a protest against Brown's appearance at that year's London Dyke March. Despite Brown's repeated misogynist and anti-lesbian comments and behaviour The Guardian still gives space for quotes by Brown as if they were a credible source.

So this person you describe Joan is a proponent of gay sexual correction and vile misogynist viewpoints?

JoanSummers · 20/08/2018 14:47

To add - despite Brown's repeated misogynist and anti-lesbian comments and behaviour the web forum Mumsnet, whose users are mostly women, insists that it's female users do not correctly pronoun Brown, because it would be impolite, or rude, or mean, or some other thing that nice ladies are not supposed to be, especially towards men.

JoanSummers · 20/08/2018 14:52

Placemats - this person is easily one of the most disgusting people in the trans activist movement, absolutely transparent in their hatred of women and especially lesbian women. Yet The Guardian platforms Brown and other orgs censor women on Brown's behalf. And Brown plays on Brown's yacht and laughs at everyone.

miri1985 · 20/08/2018 14:55

If the same penis stickers said "Some women have penises" would they be offensive? Could stonewall etc take them down if they were exhibiting "trans pride" because honestly I think it would have the same impact on the general public.

If the stickers were plain white rectangular and said "women don't have penises", is that less offensive?

hackmum · 20/08/2018 14:56

I'm not on Twitter, but perhaps someone could point Helen Pidd in the direction of this thread?

BiologyIsReal · 20/08/2018 14:59

Also in print version of Daily Telegraph this morning but can't find it on the online version.

placemats · 20/08/2018 15:02

Excellent point miri

Joan I'm shocked at the vileness and hatred of the person you describe.

(I have to be careful how I word things now as I've had a post deleted). Hope you understand.

Yeh placemats, unfortunately women everywhere are being forced to bite their lips for the sake of male feelings, while those same males are allowed to demolish our legal protections and our personal boundaries so that both are forcibly inclusive of dick.

Oops Errol beat me to it!
