Posie thanking Nicola Sturgeon is the second biggest story on the Daily Mail home page:

thank you to everyone who went today. I have lurked on these threads for a while but never posted but what you have done is so important for future generations.

And for those singing along

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
And no one's ever gonna keep me down again
Yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I've gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I've gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
I am woman, watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still a little embryo
With such a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I've gained
If I have to, I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am woman

@Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis i feel the same about @MargaritaPie et al. Their snide jibes and total lack of coherent rebuttals just throw the factual, reasoned arguments and common sense shown by the wonderful women on here in stark glaring relief. Any lurkers can see at a glance that there is no coherency to gender ideology and that not even those totally wedded to the cause can defend it.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 05/02/2023 20:31

@MargaritaPie has been a huge help to me. He/she has shown me just how weak the “argument “ is for the other side. All Marg does is, as @BoreOfWhabylon puts it “snide goading, smears and outright lies”. On every thread they appear on it’s exactly the same statements. Marg is repeatedly asked for evidence and never ever produces it. Marg never ever answers straightforward questions about their belief of trans.

I arrived here wanting to understand why so many people believed you can change your sex and that means you can trample all over women’s rights and spaces. I still don’t know the answer to that because Marg and RMW and others have never been able to answer it.

What I do know is that I was damn right to think it’s all a dangerous belief system, because the rest of you can provide facts and proof of Marg and others lies. And without threatening anyone too.

As gets said often. They do our job for us! If there was a logical argument/evidence/statistics/proof/anything we would have heard it by now. Repeatedly!

I was there today and we were promised Furries. Disappointingly I counted only three Furries, a Pickle Bee, and quite a few muticoloured-haired wee dafties doing the conga while some genderqueer clown belted out songs.

Wee dafties will probably grow out of it...not sure about the Furries.

It was a brilliant day, despite the cold - the anger felt by Scottish women was palpable and it felt enormously uplifting to be there.

Some great speakers and as someone's already said "We are all Jean fae Aberdeen"!

ArabellaScott · 05/02/2023 20:48

'We were promised furries' 😂

So I searched 'furry glasgow'

Tbf it was that cold, a furry costume might have been the perfect attire today. Amazing women. Amazing. So pleased.

Also nice to see the TRA side have realised how awful their intimidation tactics look. I think it might start being safer and more pleasant for more women to join and swell the ranks.

I know a lot of women who have suffered violence, aggression and so forth who don't feel that they could cope with the upset. But if they feel it would be safe a lot more will come.

Glorious.

Furry liquid. It's the new gender fluid.

For some reason this brings to mind the vet draining our dog’s anal glands. (Sorry, not sorry.)

I was seriously disappointed there weren't more Arabella 😁

@Boiledbeetle don't kink shame please

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/02/2023 21:26

It’s perfectly fine to kink shame, actually. Some kinks SHOULD be shamed. Especially when people insist on engaging in them publically or in others’ spaces without consent.

I don’t need to like or accept or celebrate everything everyone does!

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/02/2023 21:29

(If that was sarcasm I apologise! - it’s really bloody hard to know these days!)

MiladeeBeserko · 05/02/2023 21:30

I agree, we were all promised a furry caberet but instead got as Terry aptly described 'wee dafties' doing the conga

It was a great day. KJK should be proud of herself.

Lots of men too, I think partly due to WingsScotland and so good to see

MiladeeBeserko · 05/02/2023 21:33

Absolutely kink shame. Keep it in your bedroom, we don't want to see it.

The furry has been posting on the Glasgow sub Reddit. Pics of his face n his profile. He also identifies as Druid and a Pagan.

😁 Come on Posie!!!!

Love this.

I watched both videos too and I notice that the counter protest were doing The Timewarp. I wonder if they did an encore of ‘I’m Just a Sweet Transvestite’? 😂
