LGB Alliance Conference 21 Oct

[Timefortea4]

Hi all I can't see a thread about this conference next week in London (QEII). Lots of great speakers including Maya introducing Allison Bailey! Is anyone going? I'm considering going to some of it. Any idea if there will be protestors outside? My (elderly) mum is going.

In sniggering at a tweet that said something along the lines of “but there is c** in narcissist“🤣.

I’m stealing that

Can't believe I didn't think to check Mumsnet for a thread on this until now.

I was there and it was a great day. Hi to anyone I spoke to from Mumsnet without realising!

[JulesRimetStillGleaming]

That is outrageous that someone tweeted a photo of people explicitly not consenting to public photos. I was wearing a pink lanyard specifically not to be in photos.

I was really careful in all the photos I took of speakers to crop out audience members even from behind so as not to have anyone identifiable.

Oh that's hilarious!

[Thefartingsofaofdenmarkstreet]

It's highly amusing watching Twitter lose their shit over this. The desperation to shut up the LGB Alliance is so palpable.

They will do anything to frame the LGBA as similar to the 'Muslamic Ray Guns' type racist groups, but they are struggling to get the traction needed. They are pulling more and more shit out of their arses and flinging it with increasing fury against the wall in the hope that some of it sticks.

That video linked above is funny!

[NecessaryScene]

Took me a bit to figure out that wasn't a deliberate parody, that was a serious automated attempt to caption that protest.

You're a bunch of white creatures
you do not understand
Kevin, right?
And that's why you're all bad.

“You do not have permission to use my video.” They posted it to social media. What do they expect? TRA Twitter is losing it. They look so petulant.

LOLZ

Quite shameful how the trans activist has no care or concern for the deaf person though. So rude, inconsiderate and unwilling to accommodate other people. I guess that kind of defines the movement.

There's a short article in the DM, sorry can't link, about the PM's letter to the LGBA which contains these lines:

Last night, the group said it had also been invited to a meeting in Downing Street, where members had been told they had a lot of support really high up.

Asked about the letter, the PM’s spokesman said: ‘The Government is clear that biology matters and there are different health needs between the sexes.

No doubt one side will be apoplectic.

I used Google's automated captioning for it as well. What's fascinating is that because Google's is constantly adapting, you rarely get the same transcription again. I played it through 3 times and once they caught the word 'preacher' but the other 2x it was just as bizarre as the Tweeter's automated captions.

As we say in Glasgow ‘git away tae f*, ya bam’

Oh ffs! As if supermarkets are going to stop selling Tunnocks Teacakes! These people are off their heads.

[KittenKong]

I shall make sure I buy some. I’m more of a caramel log person myself, but hey.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Awa and bile yer heid seems an appropriate response to that. What a numpty.

Yet another TRA who doesn’t understand apostrophes.

[KittenKong]

Are that also going to complain the Cressida dick about police outside the venue? The banner makers for making them?

[EmbarrassingHadrosaurus]

It is well known that Tunnocks Teacakes are Scots S'Mores (leave in the wrapper and put them on a barbecue or, this time of year, a bonfire).

And there are swathes of people who cannot get through the week without a Tunnocks Caramel Log.

People might nod along to everything else for a quiet life but if there's any attempt to cancel Tunnocks it will be like the time they tried to reduce the sugar in Irn Bru.

@KittenKong

Who is Kevin?

I don't know but I'm very sad that no-one was calling upon him to repent nor shaking a tambourine.

Caption systems still have a very long way to go before they can reliably interpret speech against mixed background noise.

Fantastic article. Must have been great to listen to the speech in person.

[NonnyMouse1337]

No one understands Kevin and the tambourine of repentance.
