From the article:
"The director of Fair Play For Women, Nicola Williams, denied knowledge of the messages.

She told PinkNews: “I know nothing about this tweet. It pre-dates my time and that of anyone currently involved in Fair Play For Women.

“We utterly reject transphobia, homophobia, misogeny [sic], racism and bigotry of any kind.” "

It is inevitable that TRAs will continue to try and smear women's groups such as FP4W, WPUK, Standing For Women, ManFriday etc just as they have relentlessly targetted individuals who have spoken out.

This week the attacks and attempted slurs against Jean Hatchet who Rides for Murdered Women have been extraordinary but they show the extent that some TRAs will go to.

Jean Hatchet,

"So ... to catch up ... Posie is still taking all the flak... but so are Fairplay... and yet ... and yet .... if you stay firm women. You know you’re right. You know the general public are getting it. Keep your sh*t together. This is turning. It will get worse first."

Yeah they full of shit, but you know what you can clearly see how they go about trying to muster up support to the way #womenrights campaign.

The things also we will continue to support those ie NAS, whereas cult once they have bullied these companies and people into defeat that’s it. Show me anything they have done to support or promote NAS since.

Off topic but is anyone buying this new personality transplant of Haddock. I cringe at this new adopted fake approach on twitter it’s so transparent.

FekkoTheLawyer · 13/10/2018 14:51

I think it's funny. 'Ace reporter in the go' theme isn't it?

IKeepFlouncing · 13/10/2018 14:53

Yes I posted link for Jean Hatchet in another thread, they vile as fucking fuck, but I’m there as I have been since going back on twitter cheering Jean on, in various things. Truly is a remarkable woman

TwistedStitch · 13/10/2018 15:03

Publicising that tweet has backfired on Pink News as it's just given woman another platform to raise the repugnant idea of womb transplants for men in addition to showing actual distressing tweets. This twitter feed is amazing.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/10/2018 15:32

Thanks for that! I haven't smirked so much about any TransTweet ever before Grin

traceyracer · 13/10/2018 15:35

I'm not following. Since when has joking about cancer been funny?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/10/2018 15:37

Never, but I think there may have been more to the tweet, more context. I have vague memory of a thread here discussing the science behind possible womb transplants and there was a lot of talk about anti rejection drugs and ongoing health issues, including increased risk of a number of cancers.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/10/2018 15:40

And that was when the women posting were feeling pleasant enough to overlook how the womb would become available for transplant in the first place.

It was incredibly gross all round but was begun by a number of tweets about how soon trans women would be able to get a womb of their own making women redundant - but presumably only after having had their wombs removed!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/10/2018 15:41

I think that cancer tweet is being taken a tad out of context. It's not wishing a 1000 cancers on Transwomen, it is (gleefully) pointing out that a man trying to gestate a foetus is rather like something out of Alien. Foetuses are kind of parasitic, and I dread to think what havoc they would wreak in a male body.

But as it is a totally pie in the sky concept it's kind of ok to joke about it?

TwistedStitch · 13/10/2018 15:58

The faux outrage of Prick News is what's funny. Women comment mockingly on the grim idea of transplanting wombs into males and experimenting on babies. This is EXTREMELY DISTRESSING. Lesbians abused and threatened with rape. SILENCE.

"Protesters are planning a picket of the Metro‘s HQ on 19 October. The Metro is owned by the Daily Mail‘s parent company.

The picket is in response to allegations that the Metro has recently published transphobic adverts and articles.

“Demonizing trans people”
Organisers of the picket claim:

The Metro paper, run by the Daily Mail, has sparked outrage over the past week with their transphobia. This includes media coverage demonizing trans people, and in particular, trans women as well as running an ad campaign for the hate group, ‘Fair Play for Women’."

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/10/2018 16:18

Excellent, I hope it gets good media coverage with lots of photos of the protestors and their signs / banners

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/10/2018 16:20

Wot... no comments?

Pshaw!

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 13/10/2018 16:21

Good on them!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/10/2018 16:21

Banners?

We are Women With Willies?

OK...

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 13/10/2018 16:23

I wonder how many will turn up?

CaptainKirkssparetupee · 13/10/2018 16:24

I mean, it requires work, it's not like spamming a twitter account.

ADastardlyThing · 13/10/2018 16:25

Loving the idea of a protest. Just draws more attention to the issue. Imagine hundreds........ok......tens of angry looking men with their "women have penises" signs.

It's like they want to do the work for us.

TwistedStitch · 13/10/2018 16:26

Good, every time there is an attempt at censorship it reflects badly on them. Just like Harrop complaining about the billboard had the Streisand effect hopefully so too will protests about an advert. All great publicity for FPFW, and they can hardly damage the circulation of a free newspaper.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/10/2018 16:26

We are Women With Willies

Exactly Wink

It seems likely the protestors will be black clad, balaclava wearing, big dog having antifa - not a good look

Or it will be the multicoloured hair studemt mob with lots of earnest banners saying Transwomen are women (and hopefully "Free Karen White) - also not a particularly good look ..

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/10/2018 16:27

I mean, it requires work, it's not like spamming a twitter account

I'm sure the police and their horses will be out in force...

TwistedStitch · 13/10/2018 16:29

LOL at Free Karen White banners. Although I seem to remember a trans organisation demanding the immediate release of all trans prisoners so maybe not too far fetched.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/10/2018 16:31

Free Them All was a Jess Bradley thing wasn't it? Speaking of whom...

R0wantrees · 13/10/2018 16:45

yes Action for Trans Health.
