I posted a link to this even some time ago and there have been various comments and more recently one for an organiser of the event which has been really interesting.

Then just now mumsnet have deleted it saying it is because it has a go fund me link in it.

Well I posted that some time ago and nobody said anything. And as I have also posted that on a number of other threads I apologise if they get deleted.

What is the problem.

We are trying to support Lesbians and some red tape that users aren't aware of do this hatchet job.

Why didn't you just deleted the post with the go fund me link.

If I believed in conspiracy theories I would say mumsnet has been nobbled by the lesbian erasure strand of transactivism.

Heavy handed and unecessary.

Yes indeed Isca18, a man has spoken. Women should definitely do what he says. Hopefully however, we won't be silenced on this post.
Flowers to you and your comment and to all of the women on this and other posts who are fighting our corner.

Do we give any or zero fucks about what he says? Let's have a think about that...…. Hmm Grin

Nope. The entire field where I used to grow my fucks has been barren for many years.

stumbled that Glasgow Pride link is great! Good on them! Star

Oh dear - this is a bit of a shame that this is happening on the same date as the Lesbian Strength March Confused

Ride For Murdered Women - The Female Peloton www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ride-for-murdered-women-the-female-peloton-tickets-69710127869

Its a bit strange there is no info at all on the eventbrite page and you have to have a password to log in!

But presumably is based on this article medium.com/@jeanhatchet/ride-for-murdered-women-e24966ecc5f1

I think this event is in London but based on earlier facebook posts quite a few women are holding sister events in other UK cities on the same day.

It's awful that the ride for women has to be password protected just because they want to keep it women only. Similar issues to the ones we are facing in Leeds!
Dear comrade Firth, I really think that as a straight man you should desist from insulting 2 protected characteristics which could get you into legal and other bother! Shouldn't you be using your time more productively as a Green Party member, saving the planet maybe?
We can manage saving lesbians thank you!
AND OUR MARCH WILL BE FABULOSO!

Well that’s a shame for you, RJ, innit?

Deliriumoftheendless · 21/08/2019 13:11

Honestly, all I hear is Jane Horrocks’ character in Life Is Sweet quacking on about Fascists and Tories when she disagrees with anyone.

fionnulafanackapan · 21/08/2019 13:22

Tell me Richard, do you intend chanting that you would rather be a pervert than a terf at our march like you and your mates did at Pride? Strange world view right there eh?

2BthatUnnoticed · 21/08/2019 13:30

Since when does female homosexuality = bigotry? Confused

As for female homosexuality = fascism (!!) we all know the existence of lesbians gives (some) males hurty fee fees, but come on Grin

PurpleCrowbar · 21/08/2019 13:33

I don't think this is conduct becoming of Mr Firth's office, tbh.

DJLippy · 21/08/2019 13:40

Looks like Mr Firth has been having a word at Leeds City Council www.leeds-live.co.uk/news/leeds-news/leeds-city-council-bans-advert-16786033?fbclid=IwAR0N7tYvxqES4UThY86rzxUaoU6T-gGk3t5IAZE6nC7XiJYm3keiuHlu1mY

Lesbianism is exclusionary is it? Errr.......that's kind of the point right?

littlbrowndog · 21/08/2019 13:44

Oooh here’s Richard to tell us women how to behave. Yet again

Richard does like to police and monitor women.

And also to insult and slur women

Why don’t you like women Richard ?

Let me correct that for you Richard

I like bullying women

2BthatUnnoticed · 21/08/2019 15:01

Christ. Must be school holidays over there innit. Any engagement just rewards them so I’ll just say...

💚💜 !! Long live the lesbians !! 💜💚

Ereshkigal · 21/08/2019 15:35

I don't like bigots though.

Me neither. I think you'll find your words and actions against lesbians and other women you don't agree with meet that definition.

Michelleoftheresistance · 21/08/2019 15:36

'Fash mates'?

Says it all really. Level of discourse, actual contribution to the thread, total lack of understanding of what fascism is or the embarrassing irony of their representing the TRA agenda while accusing other people of authoritarian totalitarianism..... all there in a nutshell.

Cooroo · 21/08/2019 16:13

I've signed up for this but the Leeds Live story said 'lesbians only' on the march. I'm going as a straight female ally. Is this ok

AverageAvenger · 21/08/2019 16:15

Firth is the man who covertly recorded a woman bravely recounting how she was raped, her virginity brutally taken, and put it out on the internet as an example of HER bigotry because she is asking for the right to single sex spaces.

Foul, evil behaviour.

fionnulafanackapan · 21/08/2019 16:43

Cooroo
The march is for lesbians only but the rally is open to all our female friends. And it would be nice to have some support along the route! If only to appreciate our drums and singing!

And yet you’re still here, policing us. For someone who thinks we’re and insignificance you spend an awfully long time hanging around MN, Richard.
