Honestly don't read any further if you're eating!

If you don't want to give the misogynists at VICE any clicks then I will summarise - trans rights activists left over 60 bottles of urine outside the HQ of the EHRC to protest their policy on trans access to single sex spaces. One trans protester (I'll let you guess their sex) also emptied multiple bottles of said urine all over themselves on the side of the street, as well as wetting themselves for good measure! No arrests made, obviously!

I'm so disgusted. Hopefully this just shows the EHRC why we need single sex spaces. There's disgusting photos at the bottom of the article, clearly this is nothing but a fetish to the 'protester'.

If it is real, and the activist genuinely wanted publicity, here's a bit of advice for free: don't call yourself or your group a name that no news outlet will publish. Don't set up photo opps that would not be publishable in most media.

It's no use going for shock value if the protest itself is crossing so many boundaries that nobody will actually publish pictures or post your name.

They may not be able to publish it, (although I bet they could, anyone could 'euphemise' their way through that story), but they'll know about it.

Journalists writing about this ideology are becoming for more educated on exactly the type of person who subscribes to it.

To be fair, I can understand the police''s reluctance to arrest him. At least until he has cleaned himself up.

Sorry, Festoon, speaking purely for myself of course. Grin

FOJN · 07/09/2022 10:36

I'm inclined to believe this person is a genuine TRA because there are so many easier false flag opportunities for anyone who wants to expose the dangers and absurdities of gender ideology.

The terrible optics are entirely consistent with TRA protest strategy. If it's not real then it will look even worse for TRA's because they've gone online to support it, they're committed now to owning it.

Festoonlights · 07/09/2022 10:38

Quite Arabella and I am sure you are just being modest!! 😂
That said, anyone would looking boring compared to the piss up outside the EHRC.

Far from being scared I am sure the staff looked on in bemusement, a bit of entertainment for the day!! No doubt gave them something to talk about :))

The reasonable comments on the transgender uk subreddit are being heavily downvoted.

the vast majority of posters over there seem to think this was an excellent idea for a protest Envy (<- not envy)

Datun · 07/09/2022 10:40

I'm not sure even matters if it's a TRA. That person is representative of the people who object to sex segregation. It's the entire point of their protest.

We've said a zillion times that the trans ideology opens the door to every predator in the country. This is just one of them, trans or not.

And we've also been told, over and over, that anyone is trans who says they are.

ArabellaScott · 07/09/2022 09:13

IDK, are we actually sure this isn't a false flag, someone just trying to make TRAs look bad? The optics are so bad I'm not quite convinced it's for real.

Poe's Law comes to mind

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture saying that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, every parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.

You mean toilet duck to clean up the toilet duck.

I mean, why else a duck face?

Helleofabore · 07/09/2022 10:44

It is always good to remember that.

Not even trans people seem to remember that. They then say, well… except for that person…

A question for Helen Islan:

Where on the 'losing your shit scale' does suing a charity stand?

And thus, and for ever more, the Trans Toilets Piss Protester became known as The Transgender Toilet Duck…

ArabellaScott · 07/09/2022 10:48

Thanks, I had a look at the reddit. I really do feel for the few rational voices on there trying to point out how unhelpful this type of protest is.

And the fact is that despite supportive comments on how attention grabbing this is, it really hasn't made the news.

Hoping that the call on Reddit to consider justifications for violent protest on there are similarly ignored....

Datun · 07/09/2022 10:52

"Duck Face".

Honestly. What a shower.

AlisonDonut · 07/09/2022 10:52

I thought trannies was a word that we are not allowed to say? If even their own allies are calling saying this word, is it now fair game?

Not that I've ever personally used that word. I'm curious as to why it was banned in the first place.

WomaninBoots · 07/09/2022 10:53

It isn't really surprising that our arguments about "dignity" and "privacy" don't make much of an impact with this lot when you look at this.

I wonder if this might make young girls on til tok and Instagram duckfacing in all their pictures and videos think twice?

I do hope so. Just be yourselves people.

Most trans people are not pouring piss everywhere and surely don't support this?

no absolutely not, as we’ve said many times most transpeople just want to keep their heads down and live their lives…..I can’t actually believe anyone is supporting it

That's what I thought J Yaniv was. Difficult to believe that JY is genuine.

I presume it's being used in the same way that some LGB have tried to destigmatise the insult 'queer' by adopting it themselves. There are some words, like the N word, that only people who've had it used against them as an insult can legitimately use.

Years ago when no one thought single-sex events were anything to worry about, I put together a leaflet publicising a couple of lesbian-only events, including a lesbian biking group called Dykes on Bikes. We had an arrangement with one of the unions that if their print room had spare capacity they would do our printing for us at cost. I sent then pdf off to be printed up and it was returned with a horrified note that the print room staff had had equalities training and had decided 'dyke' was an insult and were refusing to print it. Fortunately Pronta-Print weren't fussy...

We are told to accept people for what they present to the world.

Acceptance, no exceptions.

The only problem is that so many are not wishing to keep their heads down and live their lives at all rufus, quite the reverse, and in the process they are literally pissing all over the campaign and ruining what little public support is left, blowing up the original goal of integrating and acceptance. It has been taken over by violent, bitter men whom have turned the whole thing into a vicious and hateful campaign against women.

As a result it will fail spectacularly. No one anywhere can possibly look at this 'protest' and feel anything other than revulsion and disgust.
