TRAs planning a protest against A Woman's Place meeting on July 10th

[NotTerfNorCis]

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.

Aw so no juggling? How disappointing.

At least that means no clubs accidentally flying in the wrong direction.

They should buy tickets and come. Ask questions. Challenge respectfully. It's okay to disagree.

It seems a ridiculous reason to cancel. "Some women may provoke us to misbehave." Christ. Madness.

Maybe they just want to organise under the radar cos of "much evil te*fs"

This wasn't Posie's event, was there any evidence of her even attending? Or even being in the same part of the country at the same time?

Maybe they’re scared that we’ll call down rain on them & someone will have forgotten to bring the trans umbrella. twitter.com/foxmomnia/status/1145419136069246977?s=21

We need the sun to drive all the nasty xx's who love xx's away and make a bEAuTiFUl rAInBOw.

Empress it's too big to carry around all the time.

Is pretty ridiculous. They want to protest, but need to warn each other they must not get violent or abusive. And then, deciding for whatever reason that the optics look pretty bad, need to cancel. But use fictitious goading tactics from the feminist group
as the excuse that they might be provoked to violence themselves. But not realising they're using women from an entirely different group, in a completely different part of the country, who aren't there and have nothing to do with it!

It's not the first time that Posie has been invoked as a reason to do, or not to do, something. Purely by dint of her being well known.

I doubt if they even know any of the women who organise at WPUK.

Twits.

bugger, I’ll have to cancel that trapeze I ordered.

Posie is the Eye of Sauron. Few can endure her terrible gaze.

LangCleg eye of Sauron!!!

You might laugh, Mangoes, but she's also the dog-sized spider that hides under my bed waiting to spring out in a Lang-murdering frenzy. Shape shifter, dontchaknow.

(My auto cucumber changed that to ‘strips off’. Sometimes I wonder about those Apples developers)

I urge you tell people about this specific case where the people who had to stay silent for their safety were trans people and their allies”

Sorry to jump back a page or two but THIS???

They were forced to stay silent for their safety? Yes! Of violence from their own fucking side making them look bad.

Fuck me! You really couldn’t make this up!

Maybe Posie caused your auto cucumber to malfunction Bernard?

Posie definitely hexed my phone to try to humiliate me on Mumsnet

She also made my washing machine break the day we came back from holiday and delayed the Sainsbury’s delivery person

DO NOT LOOK HER DIRECTLY IN THE EYES

But it hasn't even happened yet!

They're imagining that their protest to be held in the future is going to be physically attacked by people who may not even be there and are urging people to show this specific imaginary case to be proof of feminist violence!

Gaslighting 101.

🤣🤣🤣

Yes. Because Posie can time travel. And not in the good Doctor Who way.

I've taken to walking around blindfolded in case Posie appears in front of me. I've heard that if you look directly at her you are filled with murderous rage.

Beyond parody.

No, they're imagining that, at the protest, there are going to be people (that may not even be there) who will be SO IRRITATING to the protestors that the protestors will have no choice but to be violent.
Officer, it's not my fault, she was NAGGING ME.

Lol yes you're right; irritating biological truths that are ACTUAL IRRITATING Violence to our harmonious juggling.

They might drop all the balls.

They call it 'peddling transphobia'. I'd call it the very serious debate and negotiation that becomes necessary when the rights of two distinct groups of people conflict. Still, I guess it's one step up from #NoDebate - when it suits.

Very sad to see what happened to the lesbians at pride, merely for supporting their own right to be intimate with their own choice of partner and without coercion. Coercion is already a word with which too many women are all-too familiar, and an oft-used strategy to keep females in our place.

There used to be a word for that kind of behaviour. It was 'homophobia'.

This is turning out to be a very disappointing remake of West Side Story.

I have tears running down my face and my colleagues are looking at me like i'm nuts. That's very funny.

Right. Back to work.

I was wondering if the upcoming Manchester talk would be safe to attend (i’m now hyper vigilant about jugglers) but Posie is a speaker and she generates an invisible protective force field, so I’ll definitely be safe.

Bit sad about Bernard’s unused harlequin suit though ☹️
