Thanks for posting that article, Jacky. I was never that convinced. I just hadn't really thought about it. It must be very painful when the truth finally dawned on someone that convinced of the ideology.

NeurotrashWarrior · 07/08/2019 07:54

Yes grooming but in a much subtler way than we talk about in the media.

It covering all types of perspectives and "normals" and "not quite normals" in daily social interaction. And we weren't even going anywhere near wearing rubber to work ffs.

on the whole yes I agree with most of the points. sorry should have said that. those woman that protested were not there to simply protest that one thing and I am sure some of them like and agree with people like posie who want us dead. so forgive me when I don't just leave as this is importent to me also.

Wishihad · 07/08/2019 07:55

JanesKettle I believe you and others that talk about lesbians pushed out of their own spaces.

@bespin i didnt go to leeds pride this year. The reason being the gay couple i go with didnt go. They ask me and some other friends to attend with them every year. Their concerns are transgender, their concerns are the sheer number of people engaged in fetish play. Its makes them uncomfortable.

And to the pp that asked if rose ever answer a question. In my experience non of the TRAs do.

Despite being the ones that brought up the protestors shouting at a float, as though that was wrong of them, wont answer why they think a fetish float has a place there.

Wont answer what people are called when the engage children in their sexual games

Wont answer why the trans allies found it acceptable to surround the protestors, or tried to have them removed.

Wont answer why they told people to watch the video as it showed the protesters were anti trans, then changed their mind and said the video was edited to make the protesters look better.

Theres a black hole of questions to be answered and non of them do.

As I said before there are reasons women feel they cant protest. Loss of job, threats of violence, threats of rape and violence on social media, actual violence, loss of job.

I said on the last thread, where I work they wanted to make the toilets hender neutral. Plenty objected. Only 5 dared to speak to to be told we shoildnt as we would appear trans phobic. It was only stopped going ahead because the one transgender perso in the building opposed it too. Because that trans person understands that women do not want to use a toilet next to a biological male.

That's the same trans gender person, that cried when they heard about the Karen White Story, because they felt it was damaging to trans people AND to women and couldnt understand how that person had been allowed in a womens prison in the first place.

I know trans people who dont agree with the TRAs on this thread. They live in leeds and didnt attend pride either.

oh we are back to grooming but it's not good honest gay and lesbian people doing, just so you don't think we are homophobic its the OTHERS you know the other ones in the shadows the ones you don't like, the ones In the outfits at confuse you. it's them

just listen to yourselves.

NeurotrashWarrior · 07/08/2019 07:57

It was a general fuck off to the whole idea gren. Not to you. To the whole notion that GC feminists and the lesbians on that march are being OTT. That it's bollocks to query these things. To the minimising and dismissing.

2BthatUnnoticed · 07/08/2019 08:00

The real safeguarding issues are not whilst literally at Pride - it’s things like adults asking kids to DM them, support groups which help teens get hormones behind parents’ backs, etc.

Demonising any non-compliant woman as a T*F, means that women who raise reasonable safeguarding concerns can be ignored (“just a bloody trf being annoying..)

Quite right too Neuro

Wishihad · 07/08/2019 08:02

As to safeguarding issues if you are worried about your kids dont take them to pride. If you want to take them great but personally ive never had the expectation a festival that is a celebration of who you have sex or in in a relationship with is going to be or even should have to be child friendly

Th organisers need to stop billing it as 'a great family day out'

You can say something is a good family day out, them include a group of people who want to play out their fetishes in close quarters with children.

The fetish play adults, have nothing to do with sexual orientation. Why do they have a place ay a family event?

Bespin · 07/08/2019 08:03

Wishihad

good for them I don't agree with everything that is done in our name, gender neutral toilets are a cost cutting exercise, I'm sure the trans person just uses the woman's toilet like everyone else and no one as an issue with it. Karen White I was saddend too, I hope the guidelines are stronger around this as I don't like people using trans as a loophole just as much as you don't.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 07/08/2019 08:05

If pride doesnt represent you why do you still go? Put that effort into creating our own female centric structures that work for you

Way to spectacularly miss the point. If lesbians start female centric anything men who identify as women insist on being involved. There is no way lesbians are able to create female spaces without being attacked as transphobic. That's the point.

VolcanionSteamArtillery · 07/08/2019 08:05

Thats nothing to do with pride then. Or indeed with being Gay....

support groups which help teens get hormones behind parents’ backs
Protest there. Much like prolifers do at abortion clinics.....

SophoclesTheFox · 07/08/2019 08:06

I am sure some of them like and agree with people like posie who want us dead

You have absolutely no grounds at all to make this horrible accusation.

Low. Really low.

Fieldofgreycorn · 07/08/2019 08:08

aka Grooming

The more children and yp are taught something is the norm, eg porn

more predators can take advantage

manipulative through charismatic confidence

It's subtle and it's nuanced and if it's not defined it slips under the net

A bit like how you’ve tried to link all these things with trans people.
Only it's not subtle and we’re not letting it slip under the net.

Bespin · 07/08/2019 08:08

SophoclesTheFox

she posted it on her facebook account regarding hrt, she then cleverly posted in her own comments hopefully death.

NeurotrashWarrior · 07/08/2019 08:09

Actually no.

Strawman.

NeurotrashWarrior · 07/08/2019 08:10

A bit like how you’ve tried to link all these things with trans people.

No regarding this.

Total bollocks.

Bespin · 07/08/2019 08:10

I mean nothing says tolerance than this

Shocking behaviour towards lesbians at Leeds 'pride' today
SophoclesTheFox · 07/08/2019 08:11

So how do you then perform the death defying leap of logic that the lesbian protestors probably think the same, then bespin?

As for “outfits that scare you”, I was confronted with a group of pups playing out their role play at 3pm on a Saturday in central London. I am NOT OK with that, and I won’t be shamed into pretending I am. Sexual behaviour is for private spaces, not public.

Wishihad · 07/08/2019 08:12

I'm sure the trans person just uses the woman's toilet like everyone else and no one as an issue with it.

No, she uses the accessable toilet. She can understand that while she feel vulnerable using a male toilet, women must feel uncomfortable using a toilet with a biological Male in it, ie her.

She doesnt feel that women have to move over and be made to feel uncomfortable, so she can feel comfortable.

And who in earth said t @hey want people like you, dead. Are you rewriting posts again?

Bespin · 07/08/2019 08:14

I mean they did have her t shirts on lol

Wishihad · 07/08/2019 08:14

Fucks sake some one said something on face book so anyone to is GC must feel the same?

Really? Shall we bring up all the horrible things TRAs have said on social media and assume you think the same?

2BthatUnnoticed · 07/08/2019 08:16

Volcanion yes it is everything to do with LBGT, because normal safeguarding rules are being disregarded under stonewall guidance.

And loudly intimidating “t**fs” at Pride contributes to people feeling unable to raise concerns... anyway a bit deraily so I’ll leave it there.

VolcanionSteamArtillery · 07/08/2019 08:16

Th organisers need to stop billing it as 'a great family day out'

Batman dark night was billed as a twelve. My 13 year old wasnt allowed to see it because no matter what it was billed at, I as her parent didn't deem it appropriate.

There is no way lesbians are able to create female spaces without being attacked as transphobic.

So if women create a female only space where they feel safe to be them but someone protests against it it is wrong. But this group were right to protest at Pride? Despite the fact that that is exactly what the women at pride were doing. You can't have it both ways. Either there is the right to protest and respond or there isnt.
