The theme of the WPUK meeting is Why female sport matters, and why we must protect it. Effectively the TRAs are protesting against fairness in women's sports.
Details of their protest are below. Protesters are advised not to be violent, to carry offensive banners, or to try and physically stop the meeting from going ahead. 'This is a response, not an attack.'

Women's place UK are a transphobic hate group that work towards the rolling back of trans rights. Their meetings are recruitment drives where they peddle transphobia and their endless justifications for transphobia.
This is happening in our town. Where we live. We need to show them that we won't let hatred towards our trans brothers, sisters and everyone else stand without a response. A fun, musical, party response.
The protest itself will not be taking place at the National Gallery. That is only the meeting place due to it being a large area next to several decent transport routes. Women's Place UK don't release the venue until several hours before the event, so we will move there as soon as we know the location.
Cis allies are encouraged to attend. Allies are needed. Trans people cannot do this alone.
Some ground rules.
1. DO NOT ENGAGE WITH ANY ATTENDEES OR WOMEN'S PLACE UK MEMBERS/SPEAKERS DIRECTLY.
Stay away if you cannot keep it together. Do not directly engage, even if you are baited. If anyone does bait you and you cannot ignore them, walk away.
2. WE ARE NOT ATTEMPTING TO STOP OR INVADE THE MEETING.
This is not the goal. This is a response, not an attack.
2. THIS IS A NON VIOLENT PROTEST.
If anyone is suspected of having any violent intentions, you will be asked to leave.
3. BRING BANNERS THAT WOULDN'T UPSET YOUR MOTHER
We want this to be a family friendly protest. Please avoid swears on your banners.
4. BRING A GUITAR
Singing is fun.
5. DO YOU DO CIRCUS THINGS? BRING CIRCUS THINGS
Every protest needs a juggler.
