From the twitter of Extinction Rebellion Bristol: "Climate justice = trans rights! Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs) are not welcome in our city. Up for standing against them? " Followed by a call to demonstrate against these uppity women having views. https://twitter.com/XRBristol/status/1521462318693076993

what s shower of shits they are

RhannionKPSS · 03/05/2022 20:02

I hope all the women at the meeting are safe and are making their voices heard. 💚🤍💜

IstayedForTheFeminism · 03/05/2022 20:05

Surely everyone who wants to fight for climate justice needs to fight together. United we stand and all that.
Opinions on trans rights issues are a different thing.

Fucking idiots.

DomesticatedZombie · 03/05/2022 20:12

It doesn't seem to be going down at all well for them.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 03/05/2022 20:14

I've no brief for these people but they did state

Note that this is not an XR event.

Your paraphrase introduces a word that sometimes excites comment and that the tweet did not use.

tbh, I'd be fine with the bald paraphrase that they object to women having opinions on matters that affect women. In this case, the maternity crisis (iirc tonight's WPUK topic).

It is funny because the Green Party is so very much on their wave length. They're all ensuring that environmental politics are very much associated with the more aggressive version of the trans rights movement.

Bloody horrific. Though I'm reassured they are getting totally ratioed.

Fairislefandango · 03/05/2022 20:25

What arseholes.
The comments are very heartening though!

So naturally they've now restricted further commenting.

HemanOrSheRa · 03/05/2022 20:55

I saw this earlier. How fucking dare 'they' say who is welcome in our city. I've lived in Bristol for 50 years. They don't speak for me. I hope everyone who attended tonight's meeting is safe.

I need a word strong enough to describe xr that's not misogyntic like cunt, but I feel only cunts is strong enough, so please excuse me.
It's hard, because even before this stunt they are absolute lacking in empathy, life experience and brimming with hypocrisy. I still think they reached absolute upper level cunt when they described that poor woman who had a life-changing stroke in their jams as collateral damage, but this is pretty high up on the cunt register.
I am in no way surprised to see them costing up to tra lobby because they have form for all virtue signalling, no real commitment or action.
Sorry for the cunts. Will put money in swear jar.

PrelateChuckles · 03/05/2022 21:10

Why on earth do they think trans people are excluded from discussions about childbirth and pregnancy? XR sound really backwards.

SamphirethePogoingStickerist · 03/05/2022 21:15

So, global warming is a trans issue, or is that trans issues are global warming issues?

Presumably all those air miles, getting to and from gender reassignment clinics!

Tanith · 03/05/2022 21:21

Isn't Tamsin Omond one of the founders of Extinction Rebellion?

Oh I wouldn't worry about the cunt jar. Their behaviour during that time was absolutely fucking disgraceful. I work in a service that provides out of hours response to elderly people. XR had no problem barricading our cars in when we were trying to get to people needing support. They couldn't give a shiney shite.

She was an English green and tried to become leader. Then apparently flounced to Scotland, but possibly to avoid being chucked out for her floaters comment about women who defend womens rights.

InvisibleDragon · 03/05/2022 21:29

There's a word similar to "cunt" that I associate quite strongly with XR and its predecessor organisations. Maybe the Hare Krishnas too ...

Interesting. A lesbian apparently.🤨

IcakethereforeIam · 03/05/2022 23:07

There's an article about the protest on the Bristol Post website, couldn't see much about the actual meeting. Seemed a little less biased than the report in the Manchester Evening News a few weeks ago insofar as 'controversial' was put in quotes. Said there was a large protest but then that there was around 50 protestors. They were said to have dispersed round 9 pm.

Then I got distracted by an article about a guy whose penis fell off, who had a new one attached to his arm for several years! Was the surgeon drunk?

borntobequiet · 03/05/2022 23:24

They were pretty pathetic really.

Great post, no apologies needed, they are indeed cunts

Pathetic mob of whiny children. I'm sure their parents are pleased that they're funding this shit.

BraveBananaBadge · 04/05/2022 08:02

I've give XR the benefit of the doubt over the years, always wanting to think at least they were acting for the greater good. Impossible to think that looking at this. It's shameful and I'll never support them again.

Like the Greens - they had one job!

ScreamingMeMe · 04/05/2022 08:40

"Climate justice = trans rights!"

HOW? Honestly I think these people just stick a random bunch of stuff together. No wonder they can never argue coherently.
