Anyone on here going to this on Saturday? I’ve got a ticket but am going by myself so a bit nervous!

Hopefully next time, Placemats!

SlipperyLizard · 27/07/2019 16:21

Sorry to hear that, placemats - it is pretty abysmal weather!

I have arrived early. On a bench opposite the shop in a mustard dotty top.

moofolk · 27/07/2019 16:47

I'm on my way!

QueenArseClangers · 27/07/2019 17:13

I’m here! Sat on a pew in a stripy top.

CivillyServant · 27/07/2019 17:23

Hello, can someone please URGENTLY message me to let me know where it is. I just bought tickets an hour ago so probably missed the email.

I promise I’m not a TRA, I am a long time lurker and have attended several events but have just frantically joined Mumsnet having dragged DP onto a Manchester bound train without knowing where we are going.

CivillyServant · 27/07/2019 17:40

Got it! Thanks. Phew. See you all soon

NotTerfNorCis · 27/07/2019 18:15

Good luck everyone.

I see there was a protest planned. Did it happen?

NotTerfNorCis · 27/07/2019 18:22

Oh they seem to have been protesting another feminist event earlier in the day. Something at the museum.

GColdtimer · 27/07/2019 19:55

SSAUK is tweeting from the floor.

Redshoeblueshoe · 27/07/2019 22:08

I would love to have been with you tonight, hopefully next time.
Looking forward to the update.
However I was at the museum at about 4, and I didn't see any protesting

Here is the transcript for Sarah Phillimore's excellent speech tonight:

It was great to meet you all - thanks for organising, Slippery!

Angryresister · 27/07/2019 23:02

Thank you for posting Sarah Phillimores talk . It is indeed a frightening prospect

Does anyone know - was there a live stream of tonight / is there a video I can watch somewhere?

QueenArseClangers · 28/07/2019 00:01

Well I’ve had an amazing time with the Mumsnet women I met at the event.
It felt so refreshing to be with women of the same mindset and with stories of battles they had to face, especially @TinselAngel

ShouldISpy · 28/07/2019 10:18

Does anyone know if there is a way to watch this - I think they livestreamed but I know people who'd like to see it after the fact too.

checkmaid · 28/07/2019 10:48

I thought the trans widow comment from the audience was really powerful, it's good to be reminded of the damage that late transitioners can do to their families.

wigglybluelines · 28/07/2019 11:03

If they livestreamed to Facebook, Facebook normally keeps a copy you can watch after. Do you know where they livestreamed to?

DandelionsAreNotLions · 28/07/2019 11:15

I went to this talk yesterday. It was brilliant. Great speakers.

And have to agree about the comment from the floor about TransWidows. So very powerful.

DJLippy · 28/07/2019 18:26

Hi guys. Just for an update we have filmed the event but due to some last minute technical difficulties we have been unable to livestream. If you want to keep updated subscribe to our mailing list or follow us on Facebook

FortunaMajor · 28/07/2019 18:35

Thanks for a great event DJLippy.

Fantastic speakers and good to meet so many like minded people.

NotTerfNorCis · 28/07/2019 19:12

I see Sarah has been deluged by Twitter TRAs who keep insisting we should abolish sex, not gender... mystical thinking. Sex is the physical reality, gender means the social constructs surrounding that reality. We can't abolish sex.

littlbrowndog · 28/07/2019 19:16

I think a councillor who attended the event is also being deluged by activists

Thanks djlippy. Sounds great event. See fionne has a hangover 🍾🍾

TinselAngel · 29/07/2019 13:31

I'm glad my comments about Trans Widows were appreciated. Thanks
