I'm planning to go

jen1wren · 03/03/2020 19:32

I will be going. Travelling by bus from Glasgow if anyone wants to meet up. Hopefully my for women badge will have arrived by then. Will prob make a placard, maybe "I'm not just a thought in a man's head." Other suggestion welcome. Poster paints will be out on Fri night.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 03/03/2020 19:34

I was thinking "women's rights are human rights"?

MadamePewter · 03/03/2020 19:36

I feel weirdly embarrassed to have a placard. I don’t know why!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 03/03/2020 19:37

Me too, I'll be taking more of a poster than a placard so I'm stealth until I get there

ScrimshawTheSecond · 03/03/2020 19:44

Hope it goes well, sorry I can't make it.

jen1wren · 03/03/2020 19:47

Yeah, I'll probably have it rolled up whilst travelling. Felt self conscious about my placard for anti brexit/ anti no deal march too Confused Tho it did say "If I don't get my Lithium I'm gonna go mental" BlushMy protests have been pretty successful so far as you can seeGrin

NonnyMouse1337 · 03/03/2020 19:55

Yay! I'm genuinely excited. I hope we have a good turn out. :)

Special thanks to all those traveling from outside Edinburgh at such short notice.

There will be placards available, but of course feel free to bring your own!
Slogans that challenge the Scottish government's GRA proposals would be good, as well as those around upholding free speech, women's rights etc.

Coming through from the west. Might see some of you on the bus, or train if I sleep in. Feeling a bit nervous as I had really hoped that my protest days were behind me. Damn you Mumsnet for re -radicalising me. 😁

AuntieRae · 03/03/2020 20:39

So disappointed I can make it but will be wishing you all well

2Rebecca · 03/03/2020 20:52

Yes

Sexnotgender · 03/03/2020 20:56

I’ll be there.

jen1wren · 03/03/2020 21:06

@334bu we'll all be supporting each other. I'll be prob walking from bus station PM me if you want. I'll make sure I check my account.

MadamePewter · 03/03/2020 21:14

I’ll bring a packet of Pom Bears

Sheshehe · 04/03/2020 11:35

Going to try and come too. Be interesting to see how many of us turn up.

NonnyMouse1337 · 04/03/2020 11:49

Men who are supportive of women's rights are welcome too. So invite along your partner or friends who are also concerned about the erosion of women's rights in the gender self-id debate. Smile

Sexnotgender · 04/03/2020 16:02

My dad is coming 😊

jen1wren · 04/03/2020 17:35

Also trying to persuade my dad to come along although not sure how the line "well @sexnotgender 's dad is coming will go downGrin

jen1wren · 04/03/2020 17:36

Apologies- sloppy grammar

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 05/03/2020 09:24

Bumping. There seems to be lots of interest.

Maybe in light of presiding officer not upholding point of order Elaine Smith raised about Patrick Harvie's speech, we could make some signs saying " women say 'cis' is not parliamentary language"!

Sexnotgender · 05/03/2020 11:06

Cisgendering is misgendering 😊

jen1wren · 05/03/2020 11:45

I was going to go for "MSPs signing away safety" seems a little dry now compared to yours @sexnotgender Grin
Thinking of wearing a snood thingy to cover my mouth so I can put tape over it?
Anyone seen the videos of 'and the rapist was you?" They're excellent.

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 05/03/2020 12:01

"cisgendering is misgendering" is brilliant!

BetsyM00 · 05/03/2020 13:24

Reminiscent of the TRA's placard at the Women's Place conference I think I want one in the suffragette colours, purple white and green, that says SISTERS NOT CISTERS.

Sexnotgender · 05/03/2020 13:32

I was personally a fan of the “There’s no CIS in Team” placard.
