ReSisters groups in Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Cambridge, Cardiff and across the country were out making a point for women last night and did an amazing job. Please share your photos here!

I've just been informed that there are 24 Resisters groups now!

Bloody amazing news! And thanks to everyone who's posted pics. they're all fantastic!

Are these being sent to the picture editors of local newspapers, does anyone know?

Send them soon and they might make it into tomorrow's papers!

That Sappho of Lesbos statue is beautiful. Even more beautiful with the Tshirt on Wink

BollocksToBrexit · 28/01/2019 12:02

Yes it's in some local papers. Leeds are even running a poll of whether it's offensive. Currently 88% of the readership says no.

I LOVE it!

I had to wipe away a tear!

Well done re-sisters!

FlawedAmazon · 28/01/2019 12:17

Screenshot of some of the groups. At least another 8 have been set up since I took this.

This is great, absolutely brilliant in fact and I'm so impressed with everyone involved but it's definitely not part of SFW. It's a stand-alone activist project that's just the ReSisters pointing out the dictionary definition of a word. If possible, could the title be amended please? Thanks, fantastic heads-up post otherwise Flowers Gin

Note the lower case in the title- didn’t intend to link to SFW, but I’ll ask if it can be changed.

...and they say there's just a handful of Gc feminists eh? 24 groups says different!

Well done to all those tired resisters and for all the hard work. I know there was a lot of graft putting this together. Solidarity!

Oxytocindeficient · 28/01/2019 12:28

I am loving this! Well done everyone concerned!!!!

CallMeSirShotsFired · 28/01/2019 12:33

That leeds article says the campaign "is designed to make transgender people 'feel unsafe'."

Published alongside this TERRIFYING picture of the dastardly campaigners. Hmm

Remind me again who it is that goes out masked up and wielding baseball bats?

If you can, please leave a comment on the LeedsLive link that BollocksToBrexit posted.

The more GC voices that are heard, the better. You don't have to use your real name.

Her0utdoors · 28/01/2019 12:35

You beauties, thank you!

OrchidInTheSun · 28/01/2019 12:42

All the photos should be on it now but you might need to be a bit patient - it's very busy! Grin

Thanks PP! Grin

ReSisters is a grassroots action that began some time ago and has already done several different bits of activism (including a very brave speech to a meeting of the full Liverpool Council). SFW donated the t-shirts for this action but it’s not run by them.

Comments on that Leeds newspaper piece pointing out that this is being done by normal women. We may or may not accept the label 'radical feminist' - I doubt many of those participating in this action would have particularly thought of themselves, at least not till recently.
