'drumming overhead for the last hour; chanting, shouting, fake sirens; people waiting outside for us to come out, protesting that lesbians are meeting without men present. They have come to violate our space and “teach” us a lesson in compliance.'

'The police advise there is another exit. They have blocked the road outside, have erected tents. They are waiting for us.'

'I am so angry A woman has said her rapist is in the protest outside I am SO ANGRY Lesbians cannot meet without men punishing us with violence in 2023'

Solidarity with the women meeting today. I'm so bloody sorry you're having to navigate this shit show.

The street has apparently been blocked by 'The Dyke Project'. 'A collection of trans, cis, non-binary lesbians and queers of all persuasions'

'100+ queer activists are partying outside inaugural event of “the lesbian project”, a Julie Bindel + Kathleen Stock initiative claiming to protect lesbians from erasure by separating from trans people. Hope they hear this: us dykes, we're thriving, undivided!'

Why doesn't this sort of thing make the national news? It's infuriating and enraging and people have the right to know of peaceful groups being intimidated and harrassed for no reason other than misogyny!

How come the police always protect transwomen, but never biological women?

Harassment is a crime. The police will arrest someone over putting up a women’s rights sticker, but this they shrug off. Shocking.

Now watch the BBC ignore it. If it was transwomen being harassed it would be front page on the BBC website. But it’s only women, so the BBC will go back to navel gazing.

One tweet says this is in Keir Starmer's constituency.

These thugs are getting bolder by the minute, no doubt having watched the NZ thugs attacking KJK.

“queers of all persuasions”

In other words, straight men.

Did this group insufficiently denounce the right wing? Or does it in fact make no difference at all what you do, simply being women having the audacity to gather without men will cause mobs to gather?

Shit shit and yet more shit

most likely they just said they didn't fancy women with penises

This behavior is vile. Men just can't seem to leave women be.

As far as I can tell the problem is that they are 'transphobic' - they exclude males.

Women must accept males into their 'dating pool' or they will be protested, vilified and shouted at.

Rape culture.

This cannot be allowed to happen.

Why does the first tweet from these arseholes say we will not let our queer community be divided? The lesbians have left you, now fuck off and leave them alone.

Has everyone got out of the venue OK?

Right now I'm so sick of men that if i could identify as a lesbian i bloody well would.

But I'm not so i won't. But they have my absolute sympathy and support.

I would be interested to see if a group of gay males set up a similar project, whether it would be protested like this.

It does not matter how much a man screams, shouts and tells me what is happening between his ears. I am homosexual .

I do not do sex with men. I am not going to consider it. I am not going to work as an unpaid sex worker. Your dating pool does not include me.

If you cannot handle this without rage and punishment, there is a major problem between your ears and you are homophobic.

But then do look at the very first tweets on the day of the launch of the Lesbian Project, which specified it meant female homosexuals: all from males demanding to know how the project would serve them.

How come the police always protect transwomen, but never biological women
because men are strongly inclined to support & identify with each other

And because, deep down, many of those people do have a belief that women have no business denying sex to men with Needs. And no real right to autonomy.

It staggers me that men are actually in the street shouting at lesbians for not allowing men into their 'dating pool'.

It's men haranguing women for daring to say 'no'.

Men furious at women who don't want to have sex with them.

Do they have police or security to escort them out? I hope everyone is ok.

There is just no other way to describe it. I CANNOT get my head around anyone thinking this is acceptable behaviour.

Men! Women are not obliged to have sex with you! Even if you REALLY REALLY want to have sex with them!

It staggers me that men are actually in the street shouting at lesbians for not allowing men into their 'dating pool'
in order to feel like a proper man, to have the approval of other men they must have a woman whom they own & control, women who wont comply undermine this male bonding system

This shit is unreal,I hope everyone got out safely.

Why aren’t the police moving them along if they are threatening to teach people a lesson and causing trouble instead of suggesting a back door exit for the people being harassed?

Shocking. Shocking. Solidarity and love to our lesbian sisters. This is horrendous and I'm so disappointed that you can't have even the simplest thing for yourselves.

'I am so angry A woman has said her rapist is in the protest outside I am SO ANGRY Lesbians cannot meet without men punishing us with violence in 2023'

Jesus christ. Slow hand clap the dyke project, you've backed rapists over women.
