Speakers Corner 26 March - a record

[pombear]

In admiration of those who spoke today, and to ensure that your words are not drowned out and not heard. Here's a transcript (with apologies for any mis-types or mis-heards!)

Speaker 1:
Hello, people who think we’re human beings.

Hello, people who think we should be allowed to speak.We’re surrounded here by a bunch of spoiled children whose parents don’t know we’re here, who’ve been given everything they need in terms of food, clothing, education, entertainment and they don’t care that half the people in the world haven’t got that. They think it’s more important to support people who have the delusion, and it is a delusion, that they can change sex.And if you think this is bad, wait until you see what the government is proposing about surrogacy.

We’ve seen proposals in the media , would you believe this, to use women who are not conscious as carriers of children for people who think they are entitled to them. There’s been no discussion about some of the key concepts about surrogacy, such as political surrogacy, people using surrogacy to get citizenship in the country, because there are some countriesIf your child is born there you get citizenship there, happens a lot in China and Japan, so I suggest if you spoilt children take off their masks and let us see who they are, if they’re brave enough, and if not I suggest they go home, get a nice job, get a nice degree and find something more worthwhile to do.

And in about ten years time, they’ll be here. With us.

Thank you.

Speaker 2:
Hello I’m a woman from Melbourne, I have a really bad asthma attack yesterday but I’m determined to speak. To condemn Australian and New Zealand police and politicians and press and to praise the wonderful women who spoke in every state in Australia and who tried to speak in New Zealand. And especially Kellie-Jay.

I have not got enough praise for you and, what else do I want to say, I am really ashamed of our police here who seem to be copying Australia and New Zealand. Please write to their governments and condemn them.

Speaker 3:
Everybody here who knows me knows that I’ve never spoken before because I’ve always been [?} of people finding out that I say women are women and only women are women but if Posie Parker withstayed what she withstood in Australia and New Zealand, I can stand up here and say “women have rights, women will speak”. Everybody who knows me out there, you know I’m not a fascist. These people, these people here are slurring us and they are trying to silence the message we’re trying to get out for you. This is worth of respect in a democratic society. And I will not have this anymore. Finish.

Speaker 4: (Dr Em)
Right, hope you guys can here me. I’m Dr Em and I decided to come and speak because [?} and normally I say ‘have you listened to what women are saying’? However, women were prevented from talking. And that means they get away with slandering us. However, you know we’re not fascists, and I know that because I saw you let actual fascists, ones that would do Nazi salutes, all in black, walk past.

The reason I know you know that I’m not fascist is you’re willing to [?} me, you’re willing to surround me, to scream at me, to thrown things at women who are here. If you thought we were fascists, you’d give us a wide berth. But you’re not scared of us, because you know we are just women. We are just women who care about safeguarding, about our vulnerable citizens, who care that kids who think they’re gay, you think it’s OK to sterilise them. No.

We think that children who you suspect are gay, who might be disabled, they deserve the same amount of safeguarding as other children.So I’m going to keep speaking. I don’t care if I’ve got injuries, I don’t care if I have to wear my disability gear.

I’m going to keep saying ‘I know you know I’m not a fascist, because you’re the one that’s shoving me’.

Speaker 5: (Julia Long)

I’m just going to swear, I’m sorry….can’t hear myself fucking think because of this mob. Which the police, once again, have failed to protect us. Because they’ve let them, they’ve let this violent mob of rape apologists encroach right up upon our space. Right up upon our space. We already know that in London and across this country men rape women with impunity. Less than one in a hundred rapists get convicted. And now we’ve got this bunch of rape apologists right up in our faces. And yet again the police failed to protect us.

Anyway, what a day this has been, what a rare fucking mood I’m in, but I tell you what, it’s a great day for being one of us here. And for being one of those brave women. Brave is such an inadequate word, one of those extraordinarily courageous and steadfast women in Australia, in New Zealand, who face all of this and so much more. Who went and stood in the face of no police protection. Who went and stood to defend our rights across the world.

And we’ve all seen, we’ve all seen, the vile and disgusting assault of Kellie-Jay Keen who we send not just our love, not just our political solidarity but all our hearts are with you Kellie-Jay, with your family. There’s only one Posie Parker. And only one Venice Allen. Thank god there’s only one Venice Allen!

(Venice: Shall we do a sing song?)

We’ll do it in a minute, I’ve got a couple more things to say.But anyway, not only that but I also, just this morning, I saw the footage of an elderly woman, a woman being punched by this violent thug who this lot defend. They defend violence against women. You bunch of rape apologists and woman bashers. Shame on you. Shame on you. “Trans maidens you can’t hide, you’ve got rapists on your side, trans maidens you can’t hide, you’ve got rapists on your side, trans maidens you can’t hide, you’ve got rapists on your side”

Speaker 5 part 2 (Julia Long)

Anyway, I’m very glad to be here with these equally courageous and steadfast women and I just want to particularly say, from the bottom of my heart, a huge thank you to all the stewards, I know in Australia they call them marshalls, to everyone that we owe such a debt of gratitude to for doing such an amazing job for over so many months, probably, right now, amazing. And I’ve got absolute respect for your patience and dignity, your unfailing dignity in the face of this. Because that’s something I aspire to and I do not achieve. Because I don’t, I get quite undignified.

Anyway, Posie we love you. All the women here, the women of Australia, the women of New Zealand, and I do want to make a special mention, there are a lot of women that we know over the past five years who’ve been spreading all kinds of malicious and dangerous lies about Posie. To be honest, when I woke up this morning I would not have liked to have been one of those women. I think it’s going to be quite difficult for them to face the reality of what they’ve done and what they’ve supported. But I still say to you women, you know who you are, you are still our sisters and I hope that you will take this opportunity to reflect on what you’ve done and to make some kind of gesture of honest kind of amends to setting that right. Because we all need to stand solidly together in the face of this horrendous assault on our lives, on our rights.

OK, love to everybody.

Speaker 6:

Hi, my names Pip, my first time at speaking as well. I’m shaking but it’s really important. Watching what went down in New Zealand was harrowing. I felt sick to the stomach, I was brought to tears. What those women and Posie went through is an absolute national disgrace. But now I’m fucking angry. And all of these, who are trying to emulate them (points to TRA crowd) you know, you’ve got a fight on your hands because we say no. And I tell you now, I stood with Posie yesterday, I stand with her today and I will stand with her tomorrow.

And youse can all go get to fuck.

Speaker 7:
I’m shaking. Hi, I can’t hear myself, it’s like a rerun of last month. To kind of show you just how noisy it is, when Julia Long was just speaking, I was less than a foot behind her and I couldn’t hear a word. I can’t, I can’t speak louder, sorry. Anyway, this is terrorism, terrorism is the act of harassment, intimidation and violence towards your political view. That’s exactly what we’re seeing here. And the police, you’re bloody useless. Get them away from us.

We’ve got TRA on our side of the cordon and the police are just letting them scream abuse at us, rattle their fucking rattles in our ears, even though frankly that’s a disability hate crime cos a lot of us here have got autism, brain injuries, all sorts of cognitive problems. I know I keep saying I can’t think, that’s cos I can’t, they’re fucking fascists. They’re terrorist fascists and it’s about time the government and police started protecting women. What happened in New Zealand was a fucking disgrace.

And so difficult to watch, I can’t even imagine how terrifying it must have been to be there. So I just want to thank Kellie-Jay and all the stewards and all the women who turned up in Australia and New Zealand. You’re brilliant sisters, and that’s it.

Speaker 8: (Aja)
Can you hear me? It’s over, it’s done, we have woken up, we have red-pilled, we have pulled back the curtain. You can not put us back in the box, or the kitchen. We will not be run off the streets of our own country. I’m fucking done. I’m d, o, n, e. I’m saying that with my whole fucking chest. I’m over playing nice with you invaders. I’m fucking done pretending you’re not mental. Gender ideology is nothing but male abusers hiding behind a pink and blue flag. And the fact they can’t see how sexist pink for girls is and blue for boys is tells you exactly how fucked up this ideology is.

You cannot gaslight us anymore. You cannot scare us. Because whatever shit that you want to scream and shout at us now is nothing compared to the hell this ideology will leave us in if it continues.

And you will not win, because our lives depend on it. Not yours. So you’re going to grow up and leave us all and we’re going to have to fix your mess. And what mess am I talking about? There’s lots of it. We’ve got male rapists locked up with women. Raping them. And if that woman call’s them a man, she gets extra time. We have failed male athletes invading women’s sports, stealing their titles, and sometimes beating the shit out of them. We have women in single sex hospital wards being raped by men, and the hospitals covering it up. There are schoolgirls getting bladder infections cos they can’t go to the toilet without boys being in there and there was recently a girl who had her head kicked in because a boy kicked in the toilet door. And we’ve had girls raped in toilets because a boy put on a fucking skirt. We’ve got lesbians who’re the victim of the cotton ceiling and if you don’t know what that is, it’s rapey fucking men like these trying to get in their knickers by gaslighting them into believing they’re lesbians. And we’ve got Nancy bloody Kelly calling us sexual racists. If you want cock, leave your female wife and shack up with a transwoman. If not, fuck off

In Tasmania, it’s illegal for lesbians to even meet without men. We got washed-up, irrelevant idiot fucking singers who like to pay to fuck women and for them to strip, but if that woman dare ask for a single sex space, she’s a bigot. We have hospitals denying women life saving treatment because she didn’t want aftercare from a man. We’ve got women arrested for putting up stickers. We have women thrown out of pubs for t-shirts and we’ve had lesbians dragged out of places by men for just sitting there with a fucking chair. We’ve got girls of thirteen having her breasts removed because of sexist ideology tells them they’re better off as men, but it doesn’t tell them about the health risks from taking wrong sex hormones or removing their womb. It doesn’t tell them about the chronic depression or anxiety. It doesn’t tell them about early menopause, it doesn’t tell them about the hair loss or osteoporosis, or that the skin on the flap of their arm and attached to their groin can rot off. It doesn’t tell them that the flap of skin will never be a real penis and will never work the way a real penis does. It doesn’t tell them about the complications which means they could end up shitting out of their vagina and pissing out their arse. And I’m sorry to be crass, but girls out here probably some of this audience are dealing with this every day.It doesn’t tell them they’re going to be lifelong big pharma patients. What’s happening to these girls is female genital mutilation. We have laws in this country to protect them from that. But it doesn’t protect people who are in this cult. They don’t give a damn about them, their victims.

Speaker 8 (Aja) part 2:
Now to the men out there that call themselves women. So you don’t like your body? Well boo-fucking-hoo. That’s the one thing you’ll have in common with women. But you’re never going to be a woman, you’ll never come close to being a woman. No matter what you do to your body, no matter what you do to your tits, no matter how much you shave your face off, no matter what you stick into yourself, you will never be one of us and that’s what makes you angry. But I can get angrier!

I want to tell you something now that may be shocking but I’m just not born to look after men. I am not your fucking mother. I will not do it. My rights come first and I don’t give a damn what you have to say about that.

To the trans maidens, giving up my space because you want to be nice to a cock in a frock, you don’t have the right to consent for me. If you want to share a space with a man, piss off to the mans’ bathroom. To the trans maidens, look around you at these screaming faces, this rage and one day they’re going to turn on you. And I guarantee it they will. Because you’re a woman. The only reason they’re tolerating you know is because your neck is keeping their boot clean.

And journalists media woke blokes call me a bigot cos I don’t want dick. If you like dick, you go suck and fuck a transwoman, don’t tell me to do it. To the celebrities and MPs and the schools and the government and police and everyone else who pushes this ideology, shame on you. Your grandmothers, your mothers, your wives, your daughters, your sisters, because you have betrayed every woman in your life.

And to the people who know this is wrong but who go along with it anyway. To the people who know transwomen are men but call them women anyway. To the likes of Konstantin who, for asking him to call Dylan Mulvaney a man, you are weak, you are liars, you are pathetic and this intellectual look that you’re trying to cultivate is not going to work when you’re calling a man, who’s running around calling himself a six year old girl, a ‘she’. It doesn’t work.

To the gender extremists, you will always bleat on about history, but you don’t know anything about history. You try to [?] but you fail. When you asked for the vote, you assaulted us, you knocked us up, you force fed us but we won it anyway.

To the parents, I don’t want to have a go at you too much because you cannot control what your kids do. But you need to learn how to say no. You need to learn how to lay the law down in your house. You need to teach them how to learn the consequences, otherwise your child is going to end up like all these fucking thugs here and I ain’t about to deal with your child. I think I’m done now cos my voice is gone.

Speaker 9: (DJ Lippy)

Hi I’m DJ Lippy. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for coming down today in the face of such threats and intimidation. Just showing them we don’t give a fuck, mate. Do your worst. I’d also like to thank the lads for coming down and putting on a little show for us. They don’t realise it but every time when they turn up it just signal boosts our messages, ‘Let Women Speak’. (chants of Let Women Speak)

Right, one thing I’ve been thinking about is when you watch them, all of the slogans, everything they say. They’re liars, they’re mimics, they’re parasitical behaviours, they don’t make anything for themselves. Yesterday, the Lesbian Project met in London and they came up to protest them, because apparently lesbians not liking dick is a hate crime now. And they came with a sign and it said, what did it say, ‘A day without trans is like a day without sunshine’. Now that was initially a sign that said ‘a day without lesbians is like a day without sunshine’ . They’re colonisers, they’re appropriators, think about all their chants they’ve got, what have they got, who’ve they taken it off? ‘Terfs go home’, they got that off the National Front obviously. But I think the most famous one is ‘Trans Rights are Human Rights’ . Now I don’t know if you know this but that comes from a speech given by Hilary Clinton at the fourth International Convention on Women’s Rights in Beijing in 1995. Now I googled it on the way over here, and I had a look at the speech. And it was so on point, and it showed how far we’ve gone in 30 years, I thought I’d read it out for you all. Right, so here goes. Right, so this is when she was First Lady, she was married to President Bill Clinton, here goes.

“I would like to thank Secretary General for the United Nations for inviting me to be part of the fourth World Congress on Women. This is truly a celebration. It is also a coming together. Our goals for the conference, to strengthen families and societies by empowering women to take greater control of their own destinies. It cannot be fully achieved unless all governments here and around the world accept their responsibility to protect and promote internationally recognised human rights. The international community has recognised that both women and men are entitled to a range of protections and personal freedoms. From the right to personal security to the right to determine freely the number and space of their children. Noone should be forced to remain silent for fear of religious or political persecution, arrest, abuse or torture. Tragically, women are the most often the ones whose human rights are violated. Even in the late 20th century, the rape of women continues to be used as an instrument of armed conflict. Women and children form the large majority of the world’s refugees. When women are excluded from the political process they become even more vulnerable to abuse. I believe that it’s time to break our silence, it’s time to say here in Beijing and the world is here, that it’s no longer acceptable to discuss women’s rights as separate from human rights. These abuses have continued because for too long the history of women has been a history of silence. Even today there are those who are trying to silence our words. The voices of this conference must be heard loud and clear. It is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food, or drowned, or suffocated, or their spines broken, simply because they are girls. These are violations of human rights when women and girls are sold into slavery or prostitution. It is a violation of our human rights when women are doused with gasoline, set on fire, and burned to death because their marriage dowries are deemed too small. It is a violation of human rights when individuals are raped from their own communities and when thousands of women are subjected to rape as a tactic of war. It is a violation of our human rights when a leading cause of death worldwide among women aged 14-44 is the violence they are subjected to in their own homes. It is a violation of human rights when women are denied the right to plan their own families, and that includes being forced to have abortions, or being sterilised against their will.

Speaker 9 (DJ Lippy) part 2 - halfway through reading Hilary Clinton's speech:

If there is one message that echoes from this conference, it is that human rights are women’s rights. And women’s rights are human rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely and the right to be heard. Women must enjoy the right to participate fully in the social and political life of their countries, and if we want the right of democracy to thrive and endure. Let me be clear, freedom means the right to people to assemble, organise and debate openly. It means respecting the views of those who may disagree with the views of our government. It means not taking citizens away from their loved ones and jailing them, mistreating them, or denying them their freedoms or dignity because of peaceful expression of their ideas and opinions. Now is the time to act on behalf of women everywhere. If we take steps to better the life of women, we will be taking bold steps to better the lives of children and families everywhere. As long as discrimination and equality remains as uncommon a place around the world, as long as women and girls are valued less, fed less, overworked, underpaid, not schooled and subjected to violence in and out of our homes, the potential of the human family to create a peaceful participatory world will not be realised.

Let the conference to be our and the world’s call to action. And let’s heed the call so we can create a world in which every woman is treated with respect and dignity and every boy and girl is loved and cared for equally and every family has the hope of a strong and stable future. God’s blessings to you all, your work, and those who benefit from it”

Yeah, how far we’ve come eh?

Speaker 10:

OK, I’ll try and project. Like when I’m looking after my three little granddaughters and telling them, ‘watch out, you’re going to high on the climbing frame’. I hope you can hear me. OK, I’m Dr Pam Spurr. Solidarity with the women of Australia and New Zealand who’ve been through hell, and solidarity with Kellie. The work she’s done.

I wanted to say one thing. Recently the trolls have been saying to me ‘why weren’t you complaining about transwomen in women’s bathrooms’? Because, I’ve been too nice. The first time I was scared by a man in a frock in a pub bathroom 20 years ago, I was too nice. I didn’t go tell the publican, I just put up with it. No more. I do not be nice any more. I wore my t-shirt (shows – ‘go love yourself’ t-shirt slogan) which says ‘go love yourself’, but to them (gestures to crowd beyond) I say ‘go fuck yourself’ [?] get our spaces.

Speaker 11:
I actually can’t hear myself. OK, I wanted to have a chat about safeguarding, as it applies to the GRA. Lots of people talk about safeguarding a lot, but I think which is great but often, which it means broadly, that they care about children and generally keeping people safe. Children are lawfully protected under the Children’s Act and these are statutory responsibilities. But the flashpoint and obviously is where this meets the Gender Recognition Act and to a lesser extent the Equality Act , and that’s what I want to talk about. GRA is a sex-falsification act, squatters rights, so it’s basically runs smashing headlong into safeguarding. Because if you believe in the existence of trans people, and there’s many many people who obviously do, then basically that’s an anti-safeguarding position. Because if you affirm another’s sex falsification, and say that one sex class can inhabit another then you’re personally a threat to child and non capacitious women, their safeguarding. So to make it simple, one of these special feelings people can get a job in teaching and gaslight children by bringing his fetish to work. With his fake boobs and his skirt, and make kids call him Miss. And he can don a nurse’s uniform and go to a disabled woman’s house and change her tampon whilst calling himself Marjorie.

So these non binary teachers are going into schools on a daily basis and calling themselves they and Mx and that’s gaslighting the children as they’re also being punished for this. So single-sex wards will never be able to be single-sex ever, until we rectify this rights issue, because of Trusts trans policies and Annexe B. Which sadly has come back even stronger from non binary people, and they are even more empowered, and this is even more anti-safeguarding. So basically women in mental health units, psychiatric units, are in even more danger, because they’re basically building mix-gender units. This is the most crazy thing I’ve ever done, I can’t even think.

So basically, there’s a loophole in the criminal records system, and Keep Prisons Single Sex are amazing on this, but basically, because people can change their gender, and change their name in this self-declaration system, basically DRB checks are completely a busted flush and so anyone going into schools, we cannot guarantee that they’ haven’t got a criminal record . So the Gender Recognition Act is basically a dogs dinner which forces a belief to replace fact. So we need to get rid of it because it’s a violation of women’s and children’s rights. So to finish up, we need to repeal the GRA, and not make trans cosmetic iatrogenic harmed people any worse off. Because they are still protected under the Equality Act under protected characteristics of disability and sex. And thanks to Maya Forstater, belief too. So we want to repeal the GRA, reform the Equality Act and to remove the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, reinstate the Sex Discrimination Act and deal with transgender discrimination under freedom of belief in the Equality Act 2010. And this would restore women’s rights and remove the legal pressures to cede to men’s demands and restore child safeguarding, restore reality in law and bring an end to the cognitive capture in the public sphere by sex annihilators from trans ideology.

Thank you very much.

Love your work always pombear. Thank you. What a wonderful record.

Speaker 12:
Hello, any why is 2023 important? Because it’s 200 years of legal female sex-segregated spaces. And this, this graph, you might not be able to see it, I’m going to photograph it later, that is female sexual offending. Not for one year, not for two years, not for three years, not for four years, but for six years. Female transgender [too noisy] the point isn’t just keeping males out of female spaces Females wouldn’t be safe in female segregated spaces expect for the exceptionally low rate of female offenders in the female population. So the test they have to satisfy is less than or equal the exceptionally low rate of female sexual offending. And I’ve shown they can’t. This is a booklet of mathematical evidence. An academic has been kind enough to see part of my autism which gives me my mathematical ability. Yes, those are percentages I crunched yesterday and I want to get it into a booklet like this and onto the desk of every MP before the next election and ask you to give it to all your candidates. But I do need some help. I need a [? Too noisy] I’m going to tell you for all our trans friends who’ve very kindly agreed to join us, I’d like to tell you about my friend in Kazakhstan .

I think none of the transgender advocates here have a transgender friend in Kazakhstan. I’ll tell you that dear Timmo and his friend {?} I’ll tell you about them going through customs with a female passport looking like men. The Moldovan passport authorities would not believe the medical letters, yes, they hadn’t come across them before, fair enough, and they took them to a room and forced them to strip naked enough to validate that in fact they had had surgery to their breasts. That’s how transphobic I am, I can date my support for transgender people, reflected in my MBE back to 1979 and the first TV programme on the subject, and finally the first trans man who came out to me felt safe, safe, in 1993. I had no idea he was going to come out to me, they, they were going to come out to me but they felt completely safe. And that really is it.

Speaker 13:
This may be just for the benefit of the video because I don’t have a loud voice. But I really wanted to talk to parents and I want parents to know what happens when your child is allowed to wait. When all you do is support your child and you wait, and this is what happens.

My son emailed me his story of his development and that’s all I want to do, I want to read it to you, so I’m going to read it to you right now.

“As a young child, I had always felt discomfort around being a boy. I was effeminate, shy and highly aware of the masculine boyishness around me that made me so uncomfortable. I can recall feeling devastated whenever a teacher would separate the class based on sex, and I couldn’t wait for the moment my imprisonment with these people was over. It was clear that they were them and I was not exactly part of an us, but I was definitely something other than them.

At that age I remember thinking ‘god I wish I’d been born a girl’. I remember being 10 or 11 years old and telling my mum that I’m not a boy or a girl, I’m something in the middle. I was aware of my male body but I saw it as something like a burden, rather than something neutral. And definitely something distant. Whenever my parents would call me ‘son’ I felt an almost blurry nausea and incongruity. ‘Please don’t call me that’ I said. During my teen years I pored over queer youtube. I learned the vernacular of the gays, I learned the gospel that Blaire White is sacrilegious and I looked up to people like Contrapoints and PhilosophyTube who was not Abigail back then. They and the others took me on an intellectual tour of the Terf Wars and other gay matters through a philosophical lens. I learned that gender was an innate energy and that attempts to define it was always shrouded in transphobia.

I was a very dogmatic 16 year old. I grew my hair out and I wore very flamboyant clothes of either sex. I was regularly referred to in the feminine, and although my goal wasn’t to be read as a woman this gave me that sense of gender euphoria. My goal, I believed, was to break free from the burden of gender.

At 18 I was depressed and it was at this moment I acknowledged the fear and suspicion that had been building for years. That I was one of the unlucky ones, born in the wrong body, that I was trans. I looked at my reflection with disappointment and fear at the upcoming changes the future had in store for me. I wasn’t excited at all but to me this seemed the only way forward. I didn’t want to transition, I just wanted to have been born a woman. A female. I can’t thank the stars enough that my parents never took me to see a gender therapist. Had they done so, I would have been overjoyed as a pre-pubescent child. It would have made everything make sense. ‘Aha, I’m a girl inside and I was just born in the wrong body. Tell me more. Wait, you can change my body to make it the right gender, sex, oh wow, please when can we start? ’. It frightens me how much I know it could have been me because it took me until I was 19 for my gender dysphoria to recede and for me to accept and make peace with the fact that I am male, and indeed a man. I felt there was no place for a gender non-conforming man like I was Had I seen a professional about it, I would have prayed now that they would have investigated the source of the rejection of my maleness Why did being perceived male hurt me the way it did? This is a worthy question that we should ask.”

And I’m going to stop there. But I just want any parent who’s listening, or any young person to know that when I ask him why he never asked to transition, he said it was because he knew you can’t change sex. And I think that’s a really important message for young people to have. That they know they’ve got anxiety, they’ve got issues, they’ve got fear, but the whole time they believe that you can’t actually fix that with surgery, they’ve got a chance to fix whatever it is that’s underlying. And sometimes it is just time.

Speaker 14:
Hi, I’m from Fair Cop, we send support and admiration and love to Kellie Jay. We admire her constant fight for free speech. To all the brave and wonderful women who speak at every meeting here too. You’re heroines. Fair Cop communicate with the politicians and forces ,police forces, constantly and we will keep fighting alongside you daily to keep free speech alive. Because we’re with you, in your mission to Let Women Speak.

Venice:

Venice:

As you can see, there aren’t actually very many of them but the police have let them surround us because they don’t care about our free speech. Their human rights are more important than our human rights according to the Metropolitan Police and it just happens to be that on Thursday of this week the Met Police was found to be institutionally misogynistic, racist and homophobic. They didn’t mention transphobic, because they’re not transphobic, they support the trans over the rest of us. (Venice)....not posting quite right there!

Speaker 15:
Let’s just be clear, this lot with their pink and blue flags are the acceptable face of misogyny and homophobia, and don’t forget that.

Speaker 16:

I’m here for those girls, I was a tomboy I am in technology, those girls are being told today they’re not valid girls, you’re not real girls, if you like maths, if you’ve got a mind of your own, if you can speak for yourself, and it’s wrong. Those girls need to grow up and like us they can be women in engineering, women in technology, build things, make a better world, you can do that as a woman, as a girl. Good on you girls, keep going (Speaker 16)

I just asked the police if they could keep the crowd further back and they said no, they’ve got a right to protest.

These are the Metropolitan Police who have just been criticised in a report for being institutionally misogynistic. These are the Metropolitan Police, a member of whom murdered and raped a woman called Sarah Everard. The Metropolitan Police do not want us to speak. That’s why they are letting everybody come in and drown out our voices. (Speaker 17)
