TRA incites hatred while exploiting victim

[selfidentifyinggiraffe]

It's on Twitter.

Thankfully the police in the location they have described their friend with the details of this assault are looking into it

Debbie Hayton getting flack for speaking the truth in their reply (saw it from following Debbie)

I think I’m going to have to go to yoga or I’ll never be able to prove my sex to any threatening men, wanting to see my vagina. ☹️ Though at 50, I’m not sure if my back is up to it.

"Incredibly naive contortionist scares off armed attacker with unpredictable and entirely non-female-socializes behavior"?

Of all the things that might occur to me when confronted with an angry man with a knife I can't say "show him my fanjo" would have been at the top of the list.

Germaine Bunbury advises "kick him in the nads if you can, then run" as a more practical self defense tactic.

Clearly written by someone who has NO IDEA what it feels like to be an actual woman where the scenario described is one's worst nightmare. It's offensive and dismissive of women's legitimate fears of actual, scarring and life-changing experiences of men's violence towards them.

We need to crack open the litereellllyyyy you tube video again.

I have never literally shaken with rage in my life. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Plus. "I hope they've got some cute animals to snuggle "

Just seems an odd thing to say about a sexual assault. Weird children.

The op is getting a hammering in the comments

Just. Wow. I am also of the Don't Believe It camp.

What? That’s so... odd! I really feel for the woman if it actually happened, she must have felt so utterly vulnerable, and terrified.

As every single woman knows, the act of showing your private parts at knife point NEVER de-escalates or brings to an end a situation (?!?!?!) or somehow allows you to gain the power. Quite the reverse in fact.

It’s a Very Unusual Incident indeed. The MAN that perpetrated that violence has a very unusual MO.

Sorry OP to clarify I don't believe what that delightfully articulate person said happened, not aimed at you 😊

I have never literally shaken with rage in my life. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Nah. Maybe a male thing. Which would be one reason more not to let them in our spaces.

And as for choosing a library to sit in whilst shaking with rage?! All just odd.

Alledged victim has muted and doesn't wish to report apparently.

Just supposing they are real and this did happen and the word vagina is in fact referring to the general area

Why the fuck does this prick think blasting it over Twitter was appropriate or fair to the victim? Even if a friend told me they were happy... As a woman and human being when I forget I self identify as a giraffe I would never have such a lack of empathy as to do this when it has JUST happened

I'm livid for the quite possibly imaginary friend that they're being forced into reporting this

It's such horseshit. All you can do is laugh at morons who think women will believe that another woman willingly displayed her private parts to an angry drunk.

The blaming of women for the actions of a (mythical) drunk angry man is the cherry on top.

Yeah. It sounds a little like a misogynist's masturbatory fantasy to me.

I think young nella may have made a bed they really do not want to lie in now...

What a tangled web we weave, etc.

The police sound a bit stern.

@ShotsFired I very much hope they'll be more thoughtful in future.

Fabulous response from Leicestershire police 👮 I'm sure they'll be able to ensure this is taken very seriously and the women of Leicestershire will not have to pack speculums in their handbags along with our pepper sprays etc Itchy thought

A real man, drunk, threatened a woman with a knife and she had to show him her genitals to escape.
Why is that TERFs fault?

Ah, but it would never have occurred to a thug to attack a transwoman before the TERFs put the idea in his head. Before that, he was all live-and-let-live. Then he read some Kathleen Stock and Jane Clare Jones and it made him hate transwomen so much he had to go out and find one to threaten with a knife.

Just looked at the Leicester Police status. So, not just a liar but a stupid liar, then.

pack speculums in their handbags along with our pepper sprays etc Itchy thought

yeah, you don't want to get those two mixed up!

Also, was the "victim" assuming her "assailant's" gender?

How did she know he was a man? I bet she didn't even bother to ask his pronouns!

She should be reported for potential future literal violence. That poor person is probably traumatised now.

It's a bizarre, and often amusing, read.
