Anarchists banned from London Anarchist Bookfair due to alleged transphobia

Anyone interested in anarchist politics? Seems that one organisation (The Anarchist Communist Group (ACG)) has been banned from attending one of the main anarchist events of the year (The London Anarchist Bookfair). This was the event where Helen Steel was attacked by trans activists in 2017 for standing up for women handing out leaflets in relation to the intended GRA reforms. Seems that the ACG was formed when members split from another anarchist group (the Anarchist Federation (AF)) due to them (ACG) being critical of how Helen was treated. The AF had a presence at the Manchester Standing for Women event where masked activists harassed women and prevented them from meeting where they had originally planned.

Helen Steel got booted out for saying perverted men may self identify as women to access women's safe spaces and toilets. In 2023 saying something like that is seen as fascism and white supremist and Nazi .

Seriously you could not make the woke lot up . Completely lost the plot.

What do they mean by anarchy?

Anarchy means enforcing strict rules about what people can think and say, controlled by a centralised authority.

It happened around the same time Liberal Democrat started meaning someone who opposes freedom of speech and supports overturning elected mandates.

So did the author of the booklet really kick "Pablo", the whinging hippy student, down the stairs? A practical lesson in true anarchy, if so. Does anyone know?

Pablo assaulted the author three times, and then threatened to call the police on him, despite claiming to be an anarchist.
(I was quite taken that the author referred to Magdalen Berns in the pamphlet)

However, Pablo wasn't kicked. Had he been, then the author would have been nicked, with Pablo's pals in frocks being witnesses. The author does mention earlier that he felt that Pablo was trying to set him up/ provoke him for not going along with TWAW.

Pablo, the safe space police force, appeared to fall down the stairs after assaulting me. He went flying, literally. If he/she thinks it is ok to act like a copper, then he/she gets treated like a copper

Pablo, for some reason, lost his footing. The author is no fool.

He adds.
Pablo and his gang of ponces have supported violence against women through attempting to stop free speech in a public environment. They laid out a red carpet for “male perspectives” on gender by forcing the removal of literature by women on the subject of gender. They, the Liverpool organisers of a claimed “anarchist bookfair,” push forward patriarchal thinking that women are not fit to comment on political matters. This is a disturbing position of authoritarian misogyny. But it has backfire

Seems to be a pattern from the extreme left that is very hateful to women.

A person with hairy bollocks who identifies as female now is seen as the pinnacle of womanhood any female that complains is cast of as fascist nazi,.

When did the far left become so anti female.
