Jonathan's written an article about the mysterious #StickerWoman

A mysterious activist, known only as #stickerwoman, is causing consternation in towns and cities up and down the country armed with these:

He makes a really good point about proportionality, and the silencing of alternative ways of raising this issue.

Excellent article. Go #stickerwoman indeed.

TriptychTwins · 23/08/2018 18:26

He does. It's also good that Tatchell gets a mention. Our Peter seems to forget what it was like to not be listened to, to be ridiculed and dismissed. I can't see how some penis stickers are any worse than his church protest.

Thanks Jonny!

Has Tatchell had anything to say on self -id?

SturdyEarmuffs · 23/08/2018 18:29

The comparison to Tatchell's own guerrilla activism is an excellent point well made.

Wanderabout · 23/08/2018 18:31

Tatchell has gone off on a righteous TRA style rant about Self-ID, yes.

To be fair he is good at saying when he changes his mind so maybe he will be open to listening to alternative points of view.

Wanderabout · 23/08/2018 18:31

Also thanks Jonny

#stickerwoman has been up to her tricks, leaving behind her a trail of two-dimensional todgers.

It's nice to see it acknowledged that women have been left with no alternative.

TriptychTwins · 23/08/2018 19:24

Exactly my thoughts too stillathing

I like the idea of it as guerilla activism too. Terrorising the world with adhesive man poles Grin

I think we can get Peter. He's clever and has a long track record of being good. I think he just needs to listen a bit more...

Latinista · 23/08/2018 20:05

Love it. Thanks Jonny!

Angryresister · 23/08/2018 20:25

Not sure Half deserted Streets...I remember him in a meeting talking about the rights of gay men to have sex with gay boys, heavily challenged by the feminists in the room.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 23/08/2018 20:28

Oh okay. Yuck. Sad

MrsFogi · 23/08/2018 20:29

I'm still trying to find out where I can buy stickers I would very much like to help StickerWoman (I am spending my days recently seeing opportunities, with high traffic, where I could stick these little guys). Please tell me how....

HavingALittleBabyToolshed · 23/08/2018 20:31

Nice one Jonny!

TriptychTwins · 23/08/2018 20:34

You could print them out and make your own MrsFogi

You can use double-sided tape if you don't have sticker paper.

Happy to do that TriptychTwins - is there a pdf or something available somewhere?

TriptychTwins · 23/08/2018 20:55

You could copy and paste one onto a word document. I'll see if I can find a decent one. When I say decent...

The trans extremists have had a go at Peter Tatchell too. all because, despite the fact he fully support trans rights, he signed a letter against no platforming. he signed it on freedom of speech grounds. he was verbally attacked over it and said it was the worst abuse he'd encountered. they also got into a meeting he was addressing and disrupted his speech once, i believe, shouting abuse at him.
I don't think it has shaken his belief in trans rights, but he has spoken about how shaken and upset the experience left him.

i agree, Johnathon is writing some wise words on grc issue just now. good on you Johnathon!

TriptychTwins · 23/08/2018 21:07

I know I shouldn't say it, but I'm glad that he's had a small taste of what GC women have been putting up with for ages.
