It boggles the mind that lesbians are being labelled bigots for holding lesbian-centric signs at Pride.

This is exactly why they need to continue attending - where the fuck are they meant to go, if not Pride??

sorry my bad I thought people were targeting my twitter again.

Richard Firth is a public figure.

@IfNot I'm sorry for not using the term paedophile. It was the term they use to "hide" and I thought it was descriptive to relay it as seen.

Posted a medium piece featuring a picture of Leeds council wokey who might or might not be the same person as shouty video wokey. I think.

Clearly 'doxxing' is no more understood than 'safeguarding', for some...

KatvonHostileExtremist · 04/08/2019 20:59

Offft

Lol, hit a nerve did I?

That image of Richard is from the times article, www.thetimes.co.uk/article/leeds-council-bars-women-s-group-a-womans-place-accused-of-transphobia-jxh0rs8mj

The still is from the video, filmed in a public space and posted above.

I haven't linked to anyone's social media and I thought TRAs are proud of this stand against "evil women"

Earlywalker · 04/08/2019 21:00

The post before that one spartacus

SophoclesTheFox · 04/08/2019 21:00

Why would you think that, bespin?

Curious.

PurpleCrowbar · 04/08/2019 21:01

sorry my bad I thought people were targeting my twitter again.

The one where you have the same username as on here?! Confused

Also, it's not all about you, Bespin.

FloralBunting · 04/08/2019 21:02

IfNot we dont call them MAPs, that's what they openly call themselves on Twitter with complete impunity. And now they are welcome at Pride apparently. Personally I call them fucking nonces, but you do find some of our trans visitors like to minimize the whole thing, so there's that.

sanluca · 04/08/2019 21:02

there were a lot of people there young old all genders cheering and supporting. if you can only see white men in the video which I don't think is representive as there were a lot of people there it was quite loud.

In the ones I saw, I saw a lot of people looking concerned or worried or just trying to ignore and a handful of very vocal, male looking, very agressive people. I only saw two videos, so might be the footage I happened to see.

All I can say is a crowd against a few women: bullies.
A crowd against lesbians being proud of being female homosexuals: lesbophobes.

And that at Pride.

helpmeiamatoad · 04/08/2019 21:02

@KatvonHostileExtremist Sorry, am I seeing things? You never posted a screenshot of a twitter conversation?

sanluca · 04/08/2019 21:02

Sorry, first paragraph is bold fail.

RJFirth · 04/08/2019 21:03

Stalkers much?

Bespin · 04/08/2019 21:05

sorry I think I caused confusion I thought people were targeting my twitter acount again and linking it to here which they do. but this time they have not so I'm sorry for that.

IfNot · 04/08/2019 21:05

bythewayok oh no don't apologise it's just confusing. I do think naming things what they really are is important tho.
Eg lesbians=women attracted to women.

PennysPocket · 04/08/2019 21:06

All I can see is Kat posting a screen shot of a PUBLIC twitter post and asking if it's the same person as the one in the video still.
Is that not allowed?

Links to non mn users twitter feeds are common place on mn. Are we not allowed to reference any public access able material?

PennysPocket · 04/08/2019 21:07

sorry I think I caused confusion I thought people were targeting my twitter acount again

Ha ha ha ha how up yourself are you!!
😂😂😂

Earlywalker · 04/08/2019 21:08

I thought the twitter screenshot was an attempt to put bespin and that was what was meant.

Interesting that 8 lesbians (or straight woman, I know before they said they were not all lesbians) were not welcomed because of their signs, the other thousands of lesbians were very much welcomed - yet it’s seen as an attack on lesbians as a whole, and them not being welcome.

It’s either an attempt to say lesbians that don’t agree are not lesbians, desperately hoping people don’t see this fact or strange head games. Either way it’s manipulative af to turn it into an anti lesbian thing.

KatvonHostileExtremist · 04/08/2019 21:08

Aww hello Richard
Here to shout at a few more women?

The screenshot is a still from the video posted above. mobile.twitter.com/RebelleYellow/status/1158027856078942208?s=20

If it's another shouty man i do so humbly apologise Richard.

PennysPocket · 04/08/2019 21:09

What did the signs say that was anti trans??

KatvonHostileExtremist · 04/08/2019 21:09

Fair enough bespin

helpmeiamatoad · 04/08/2019 21:11

@PennysPocket @KatvonHostileExtremist We are not referencing that post! The offending post is thankfully now deleted, but was a screenshot of two people conversing on Twitter, with the implication that one of these people may be @Bespin. Really, the constant deliberate misunderstanding on this board is getting tiring.
