Billboard with dictionary definition 'woman: adult human female' removed after pressure from TRAs.

[R0wantrees]

Is the OED now hate speech?

Interesting to note some of the sources of the complaints: twitter.com/Direct_PS/status/1044263398333132800

He won't. He identifies as 'right'.

Yeah, he doesn't seem to do self awareness.

Somewhere in a tiny teeny corner of my brain I feel sorry for Dr H. He has fixated on trying to force the general public to believe something that 99% of the general public knows is nonsense, but he just can't let go, no matter what it's doing to his career. He could have fixated on all sorts of things - refugee rights, animal rights, domestic violence victim rights - that would have had some measure of public acceptance, but no...he's fixed on pushing to erase half the population.

There's an excellent piece on skynews about the billboard removal. It had me whooping over breakfast - kids thought I'd lost it. Think one of these links should work. Shout if not and
I'll have another go

That Sky news piece is excellent!

I knew the poster coming down would be a good thing

Yes there are lots of things I don't agree with Brendan on but he was brilliant on that Sky review. Thank you.

The Sky news piece is excellent.

It looks as though the Primesight CEO moves in the same circles as Bunce:

Bunce got the award in the HERoes list.

Can't see Primesight backing down, unless the new owners get involved.

All in agreement there.

It should not be controversial to define a woman as an adult human female.

Just received this email

I want to personal thank each and everyone of you for contributing to this campaign. Today you can find the billboard and message in the news. I hope this inspires you all to speak up if and when you can. We're helping to build a movement.

PrimeSight have been issued with a pre action letter for the statement and actions against us. We have our eye on malevolent intentions and defamatory comments being made about this campaign and you, the group.

As things are developing so quickly I intend to keep you updated as much as I can.

Posie

This is great-all the BS that gets spouted on twitter just doesn’t stand up to scrutiny in the real world. What with the GG fiasco & this poster being removed-a much wider audience is aware of what is happening.

Great Sky piece! How can I share it on FB?

Nadine Dorries has just tweeted this:

@NadineDorries

I am a woman. ‘Women, noun, adult human female.’

Come and get me, Twitter activists.

#Iamawoman

A Twitter activist had a poster stating the above removed, citing hate speech as the reason.

Click share from YouTube :) underneath the video

That really is fantastic!! BoN sounds like he really gets the whole arguments, he's not just paying lipservice cause he agrees on one point

Excellent. Let’s hope we can sue Dr Harrumph - especially as he is so supportive of legal actions.

Sorry about the double post. I think people are really waking up to the nonsense ATM

It's made (almost all of) the third page of the Times, and is covered well and fairly. I think this will bring the issue to the attention of normal people who haven't heard of it until now. It's got the board far more publicity than if Harrumph had just let it well alone!

Donated

Sky comments from Brendan were excellent this morning....he gets it completely .

It's made (almost all of) the third page of the Times

Bloody hell, that's pretty much prime placement after the front page.

Do you think Harrop has ever heard of the Streisand effect?

Well said Brendan!

The Streisand effect is working well for the guides story!

If trans stories will be making the front page of the press by Christmas, I'll be surprised.

Its starting to blow up. Not quickly enough, but its getting there.

I don’t think Harrop gives a fuck about trans people at all - I think he, like the vast majority of men cosy with TRAs, just hates women (the vagina-having sort) and has found a new way to express that under the guise of being ‘progressive’.

“He doesn’t do self awareness” no, and I bet his MDU cover doesn’t do libel damages either, as he’s about to find out the hard way it seems.
Very reckless individual. Hope he’s got deep pockets.
