'Stewart McDonald, Kirsten Oswald, Kaukab Stewart and Alison Thewliss were at the Glasgow protest to support the trans community and stand up for Scotland's democracy.'

That's them standing in front of a sign that says 'decapitate terfs'.

Again, I'm genuinely fucking shocked. This inflammatory, violent rhetoric is not acceptable.

I obviously agree with Boiled as well

My last post was in jest, but I'm not condoning threats made by anyone to anyone.

Have the mentioned threats been reported to Police Scotland?

Yeah but we aren't finding you amusing today

Yes. Another poster mentioned earlier that the sign had been reported to Police Scotland.

"In jest"

We see you.

I'm glad you don't condone threats, Margarita.

Unfortunately women don't find threats like this a 'jesting' matter.

@MargaritaPie
Trans rights activists are waving signs about raping the prime minister and beheading women.

We might make light of it, because the second one is directed at us. It's gallows humour.

You don't get to do that as it is your side waving the signs.

Given all the information available it shouldn't be too difficult for the police to trace the person involved if they wish to do so.

Here is a youtube video of the Scottish politicians making a carefully rehearsed speech to the press. Throughout the video, you can see the signs being waved. It's very unfortunate that apparently no-one noticed those signs directly behind them.

"You don't get to do that as it is your side waving the signs"

As I've pointed out dozens were present. Blame the individuals holding the signs, not the entire crowd.

No.

You never do

No.

I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if people judged the entire gender critical movement based on, for an example, what Lily Cade said on her blog? Remember that?

@MargaritaPie You always make accusations about someone being connected to someone who once kissed someone's puppy and the owner was a right wing bigot.

What's different when it's the other way round? You are connected to these people? Yes? you agree therefore with the signs? Yes

Because that's how your logic usually works.

Let's see what disgusting protestors with their threatening and appalling signs turn up when KJK does her Glasgow demo.
The GC women never have threatening and violence-inciting signs like the TRA, and they never try to physically threaten people, not do they descend on other people's demo's and try to derail them by drowning them out or screaming down megaphones.

When KJK does her Glasgow demo, you can BET the threats, intimidation, violence and incitement comes not from the GC women, but from the other side, because they just can't STAND it when women speak up for their rights, and they can't STAND it when they speak to logic, truth and reason.
And they don't want other people hearing it either.

Tactics - drown them out by acting like raving lunatics

Maybe the blue hair dye has all gone to their brains.

I am done with blaming individuals. If You agree with the Trans Right Activists. If you think that is the right side of history then you also by association agree with those vile signs and wish women dead.

It is that simple.

Numerous people have reported this to Police Scotland. They won't give a fuck. Tackling and addressing VAWG is very low down their list of priorities.

Unsurprisingly, the backtracking has begun by TRA's as they've maybe started to realise just how bad this looks. 'It was only a joke!' has already started. Same as when the odious Picklebee claimed that PB's open threats against women were 'only a joke'.

I'm another one who's not going with your wide eyed 'oh, I'm just being humorous' stuff. I live in a country where my elected representatives, including the Minister who is meant to represent the needs of women, have been pictured with big grins in front of a sign which advocates violence against women.

It's decidedly not funny.

I am so sick of this shit. Men cannot become women. Why do I deserve to be decapitated for stating that? Or even just for thinking it? Why should women be under fear for their lives for not agreeing with some entitled, deluded men?

Thanks for reminding us of some of the previous strings you've harped on.

Be done by as you did. It was apparently the fault of every mumsnetter that a woman in America (that we'd not even heard of) had written a blog.

These politicians are standing right next to protesters holding violent signs. Right next to!

When violence against women and girls is very real we have every right to take a threat against us seriously.

Bit desperate of you/the TRAs to force team a porn star with us so called SWERFS, Pie!

To be fair he hasn't got a lot to work with today.

My last post was in jest, but I'm not condoning threats made by anyone to anyone.

Nah, just downplaying them.

TRAs are all ''nothing to see here'' when their woman hating extremists call for the decapitation of women, yet go running to the police apparently in fear for their lives if they see a pretty little ribbon in suffragette colours or a sticker with the definition of woman on it.

There's nothing funny about any of this. The misogyny of this movement has emboldened a man to threaten to shoot Rosie Duffield and encourage people to drive a car into a group of women at the next Let Women Speak event.

Who the hell are you to say that these types of threats aren't credible?

This is just a game to some, where you skip by and drop something randomly provocative.

At this point it's got so inappropriate and so beyond acceptable that I'm done engaging.

A young man who identified as an incel murdered 10 people and injured another dozen (mostly women) by driving a van into them, a few years back. What could trans activists have in common with misogynist men who feel entitled to women's bodies?
