Scottish Feminists make the BEST banners

Vulnerable trans 'woman' Katie Dolatowski 6'2" after battering a man at Polmont Prison has been moved to Cornton Vale - a women's prison. A prison where the majority of women already have head injuries.

Well done to all the women who stood in the rain & cold today to protest against this appalling & disgusting decision to put a man in a women’s prison. 💪💚🤍💜

Janie, did you see our Warrior Woman banner at Holyrood?

yes I think I may have been sitting infront of it... with my women wont wheesht banner - was that in front of the pond?

Fuck me. Too dangerous to be housed in the men's prison so let's move him (sex based pronouns under the convicted sex offender rule) to the women's prison.

Do you think the wankers who make these decisions can even hear themselves?

Thank you to all the women who turned up to protest.

Absolutely appalling but not surprising in the dictatorship of Sturgeon and Harvie.

I like the suffragette coloured “No parking” sign behind them!

Great to see them out there. They are showing great courage, given the current political situation in Scotland.

Fucking fucking hell 😡 Well done to all the women who are protesting - men do not belong in women’s prisons, regardless of what Harvie and his lapdog Sturgeon will have Scotland believe.

It is a fabulous banner indeed.

Frankly my head is 🤯 at the decision to house this dangerous man in a women's prison.

Who the hell looked at this issue and thought this was an appropriate course of action?

All the focus is exhausted on protecting a "vulnerable transwoman" evidentially dangerous and aggressive male sexual predator with no concern for the risk of demonstrably vulnerable women in the female estate.

Scotland is absolutely fucked on this issue and I can't fathom why so many people value a vote for the SNP re: independence at the cost of a nation where woman's rights are not just eroded but undefinable.

Yes , that’s right. What a fantastic day it was.

I didn't see anything about this on Reporting Scotland but I may have looked away for a millisecond. Did I miss it or did it not feature at all?

Probably not featured... SNP/Greens don’t want the story to get out, that’s one of the reasons we need to keep opening people’s eyes about what’s happening in Scotland.

Thank you for raising awareness and not wheeshting.

Thank you to those wonderful women. And yes, awesome awesome signs !!

If we could win on banners we WILL TROUNCE THE TRAS. Suffragettes will be birling in their graves in jealousy at the quality of our banners.

Well done those women protesting 👏👏

Thank you for protesting at Cornton Vale.
The care and special attention given to him and his ilk makes me 😡
😡Stonewall has done a real number on the SNP and NS should be ashamed

Thanks, I knew nothing about this (the protest) and if it hadn't been for this forum I still wouldn't. It's an absolute scandal and had I known about t would have done my best to publicise it. Hopefully the growing Mermaids scandal will help bring the dangers of genderism to the forefront.

Thanks for posting this, I too knew nothing about this. Thanks to the women who stood out on such a miserable day.

To clarify. I knew about the TWs in women's prisons but didn't know about the planned protest or I'd have tried to publicise it. Shame on news outlets for not reporting.

What a beautiful banner. Thank you all for going. Thank you.

Thank you all who went. It is terrifying how women are expected to roll over to serve men and it is heartening to see all those women who won't bow to the bullying to do so.

It was a good turnout despite the shite weather. I loved all the banging on pots and pans, blowing whistles.... We made some proper noise, especially at the end when we chanted "Women matter. Women at Cornton Vale matter."

I hope the women heard us and our message and know that we will do our best to hold the government and gender lobbyists to account.

Quite a number of cars driving by tooting their horns in agreement, including cars leaving the prison. (Visitors and family members maybe?)
