Hoping everyone is okay.

Yeah...I can't unsee that now. Need to go find some kitten videos to cleanse my eyes.

Whenever I see these videos- all I can ever think is that if you had a rally which was organised by the 'other side' which was disputed the way this happens to those speaking out- they arrests would be immediate and charged as a hate crime......but women need to 'wheesht' it's disgusting

How long do you think it’ll be before the usual crowd pop on to tell us it was really the women’s fault, and the women were just as bad? I wonder how they’ll be able to defend this?

Well that was a "delight" to watch.

A while ago it would have made me angry watching these clips.

Now I just feel immense sadness.

It's all just so fucking depressing.

9 tras arrested apparently.
Hope there are many more to come as the videos are digested.

How cowardly that the press remain silent about this.

Fuck! Just watched it. I hope those brave people coming to hear women speak and those speaking are ok.

Remember the concept of "crippling dysphoria"?

There's not much of it in evidence here:

And when do you think we can stop the lies about ‘courting’ the far right?

I see we are now adding ‘KJK going to NYC ‘ as another sin.

oh dear… those women, they were asking for it weren’t they? Speaking their opinions in public like that!

Blimey, those males are very proud of their breasts aren’t they?

And did that one standing on the barricade abusing people call people ‘faggots’ as well as ‘bitches’ and threatened to beat them up? And then imply that they would get more ‘men’ than them?

So tolerant and inclusive…

This is just so terrifying and disgusting. I agree with pp who say the 'feminist' left here have pushed for this by repeatedly smearing KJK as a 'fascist'. Can't really tell the difference now between TRAs and 'real feminists'. They're still even doing it on this thread.

Disappointing that KJK couldn't even get to her own event because it wasn't safe. I remember how scary it was going to meetings and events here a few years ago and to some extent it's still scary but this is legit terrifying. The women who went are so unbelievably brave. Thanks also to Andy Ngo for reporting. I really hope that everyone is okay.

As far as I know, they had a permit to protest. NYC police were there, obviously, but when KJK asked for help to get into the protest they refused, said they wouldn't put themselves at risk.

I see. So there are certain places in the US where women can expect violent attack as a punishment for existing?

Tbh I'd argue there are...

You're incredibly naive and obviously don't understand how it works over here, courting the far right and going to NYC was a stupid mistake by KJK and this tour hasn't helped us one bit.

Oh you’re trying the ‘divide and conquer’ strategy,. We know Kelly J isn’t’far right’ and those stirring the pot often don’t see how obvious they are.

On the contrary, I think KJK's strategy of enabling these people (such as the moob jigglers) to show the world exactly who they are, will be very successful.

Apart from anything else it shows the stark difference between male and female. The aggression and violent threats, yes, very male. But also - are women worried about how many 'men' they'll get? I'm definitely not and never have been.

Trying ward off creepy pervs constantly when young, yes, worried about 'getting a man', no.

I'm sure the sight of naked TRAs threatening to assault women, calling women 'dirty whores' and saying they'll spit on them will do wonders for the advancement of the TRA cause.

Watching all this, I think I'd say the US is about at the stage the UK was when Maria McLaughlin was assaulted.

It's building. Bring the sunlight, and bon courage, US women.

Yes, this.

Just let people see who they are - these men pushing for access to women's spaces.

I do believe most of the population of men just are sticking their heads in the sand. Dismissing women's concerns, as per usual. But once they see the type of men wanting to step over any boundaries their daughters need for their safety?

KJK is very clever.

I mean I for one intend to use that clip of the moob jigglers any time anybody says "crippling dysphoria".

Who is 'us'? Cos I really don't think we're on the same side, littlelione.

‘Most trans people are kind and gentle souls suffering from crippling dysphoria’

can we lay the ghost of Hayley Cropper yet?

There is a certain clip where one of the chappies was trying to jiggle his moobies (I'd say he envies Rab C Nesbitt). However, it turned into more of a belly dance, as at one point the moobs weren't moving, but the belly was jiggling away.

maybe that male was trying to the 'pec dance'?

Like the rock.

The sort of behaviour we normally only see in squalid basements on TikTok.
