Standing for Women Glasgow 5th Feb

[MrsJackRackham]

Anyone going?

Women have been doing this since nobody would listen, no papers would report on it, and protests drew violent terrorist responses. (Some things never change).

The insults don't matter. The ages of the women don't matter. The crowd numbers don't really matter. It's useful and instructive to see how public awareness has grown and how public opinion is firmly on the side of feminist arguments.

What matters is that sex is immutable and women need sex-based rights for equity, and increasingly the courts and the media and decision makers are having to thrash out the details of this, and we are winning. Bit by tiny bit.

Onwards and upwards.

This. There were always nutters and agents provocateur.

At CND marches there would be a gap before and after the Spartacist Alliance. Because their banner said ' Defend Russia - Save the Workers' Bomb '. Not very helpful albeit quite harmless. Unlike Mr Gaystapo.

There's a post in the Glasgow sub showing photos of both sides from yesterday, there is a very clear contrast between the age gap of each side when you see the faces.

Yeah student politics versus grown up real world politics.

Ooh one photo.

There were plenty of younger people on the GC side. It looked much more diverse in terms of age and race than the TRA side, in fact.

But then I looked at numerous photos and video footage taken from throughout the day.

The terfy side definitely had fewer people with a different coloured hair dye either side of their centre partings.

Cheers for the non-sequitur, Pie Man.

I said the furry is getting a pasting. Sexism flourishing on Reddit, on the other hand, is not newsworthy.

Both the Glasgow and Scotland reddit subs are overwhelmingly in support of LGBT rights.

LMAO! You do know the situation with the number of trans Reddit mods and how they crush dissent, right? Right?

It.was a.big deal a few years ago. They basically destroyed women-only boards.

What I am saying is that you are not the first and probably won't be the last....

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I suppose that so many people drawing the same conclusion must mean that there is fire....

Another sign no doubt from this article.

I've never engaged with that screen id on the basis of its suffix alone. That doesn't even qualify as hiding in plain sight. There's not even a pretence at concealment being made as to who they are, and these are not people I'm about to interact with for one minute.

I've been following events in Glasgow without commenting as yet. It looked inspiring, kudos to the Mumsnetters who were there.

Following the groundswell of opinion against the Scottish GRA reform I got the sense that the atmosphere is somehow safer, as was the tone of the reporting. The media response to the Bryson fiasco really does seem to have positioned the emperor - if not starkers nonetheless resplendent in his fetching see-through leggings - in full sunlight for all to see.

The photographer who captured that image played a blinder. That one picture says everything people need to know.

Could be wishful thinking as we've seen many a false dawn before. But public anger does seem to be growing about the complete number that's been done on women by this toxic ideology.

KJK has the courage of ten. I salute her.

I was around when the GC sub was pulled.

Of course, the misogynistic incel subs advocating violence against women were still standing for a long time afterwards. As far as I know, they still are.

Really great to here from the women who were there. Sounds fantastic.

But such a shame that apart from the DM (again - sigh) most papers haven't bothered to report the substance of the event.

And not sure if it was reported on tv or radio.

And it is a great shame that the recordings of the event have the same sound issues as the live stream (just to say I have no idea how to do any of this) and wondered if anyone had a recording so that the speeches could be more widely shared.

Or maybe transcripts posted.

Would be so great to build on the momentum of the SNP stupidity and get more members of the public aware of how trans rights has been allowed to take away women's rights.

And don't those speeches, in their clarity and purpose, show up starkly against Sturgeon's increasingly panicked burbling?

Was Euan named after the R4 programme?

I am wondering if some of the TRAs are still taking their puberty blockers, because they argue like children.

Our demo was much bigger! No it wasn't dear, here are the photographs. Yes it was! Yes it was! Anyway you're old and you smell!

You might have meant this tongue in cheek, but I'm very curious what kind of brain development is halted w/ puberty blockers. It could be vulnerable kids are at risk of being put on blockers, or they become immature as a result of the blockers. Likely both. I can't help but generalize when I look at TRAs...they come of as very 'failure to launch'.

I’m always struck how unhealthy their endocrine systems look. Lots of borderline moon faces and weight gain.

I was being facetious and don't want to minimise the harm done by blockers. The childish argumentation in the face of reality is really noticeable, though. Of course I don't really believe it's caused by blockers.

The unhealthy look is probably just lack of exercise and too much time spent playing video games and drinking pop.

I’d be interested to know the effect of puberty blockers on brain development and how behaviour is affected long term.

Hopefully that data will start being collected by the NHS now that GIDS is going.

Yep.
A bunch of kids throwing a tantrum being ignored by the adults having grown up discussions

WTAF. i preferred the fairy liquid song now those images are stuck in my head. I dont know whether to laugh or cry! what a fucked up world we are living in
thanks for the link @Boiledbeetle 😂

MargaritaPie seems to be trying to claim that all the women were elderly and the trans protesters were young.
My DD was the first speaker at the event after KJK. She is 33. And was a terf in her twenties too.
