Wish I was at this lunch

[bumpertobumper]

How great would it be to hang out with "the witches they couldn't burn"

And the classic 'there's no Cis in team' placard. Lol!

Reasonable discourse, rational discussions (along with what looks like a lot of fun!) So much for 'hysterical' women. Hope all these wonderful women (all having been threatened with rape and injury by men) feel more powerful knowing they have each other's back. I hope we have some nationwide get togethers and become more cohesive.
as the old song goes, 'why can't a man be more like a woman'?

So, in the red corner we've got (in absolutely no particular order) the really rather intelligent JKR, Suzanne Moore, Joanna Cherry, Maya Forstater, Helen Joyce...the list goes on. And in the blue corner we've got people stupid enough to believe this.

I suddenly feel infinitely better about our chances..

I didn't know I had #lunchGoals.

I now have #lunchGoals.

Looks like an amazing get together!

Wow!

This is lovely photo with Rosie Duffield.

If JK Rowling ever hosts a lunch wanting experts to discuss puberty blockers, I’d gladly put my hand up (waves to Jo).

Some more pics from Joanna Cherry

I've come over all emotional looking at those photos- what a wonderful group of women.

I hope they had a fantastic time with good food and drinks and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. What a gathering of brilliant women!

I just love how many random half drunk glasses of wine there are...and that chocolate torte thing looks delish! (misses point entirely)

I see male TRAs on Twitter making nasty comments about the women's appearance. And these males identify as feminist.

I'm glad to see food make an appearance - all the other photos seemed to be wine only and whilst I'm not averse to a liquid lunch I do like a bit of food!

I loved these pics. Do we know who organised it?

Well, colour me surprised. Not.

Wonderful photos - so pleased to see them supporting each other as they've absorbed so much shit from men / trans activists .

What a good start to the week (after an amazing few weeks when #nodebate was finally taken off the table).

Yes, somewhat laughably Heather Herbert has made a nasty little remark about the looks of the women at the lunch, saying 'as a woman, I don't normally make comments about other women's appearances'!

I can only see a summary of the tweet due to being blocked by Heather - I very much hope that the comment is being robustly challenged.

India Willoughby thinks that since India looks more feminine than Liane or Angela, it’s not fair that they’re in the gang and India isn’t.

Those MRA/TRA males all think that being a woman is about wearing skirts and makeup so yeah. Not surprising at all.

I saw this last night before I went to bed and was soooo envious, I would have loved to have been there. I woke up this morning, having dreamt I was there, sitting next to JKR!

India knows that India will never be in the gang. India also knows why.

We are all there sitting with them. They stand for us and our daughters. ⚡️🌹🌸

Yes but being trans is definitely, 100% not about stereotypes or clothes.

OMG - the Mail have not only reported on the meal but quoted from this thread on FWR (again)
