Students Against Tyranny are protesting tomorrow to keep female spaces female. They are a vile group, and the guy who heads it up is a staunch Tommy Robinson supporter. Anti Muslim, anti asylum seekers, full of hate. I want to attend the counter protest but the main aim of their protest is to keep female spaces female. A couple of my GC friends are attending because they want SAT to know they aren't welcome and aren't supported by women's rights groups. They promote hatred towards all trans people referring to them as 'the mentally unwell'.

Would you attend or support GC people attending even if they also agree with keeping women's spaces for women?

You may be interested to read Phoenix's recent piece about grooming gangs. She lays out the background behind her claim and an overview of the grim legal frameworks for women and girls in prostitution and/or are vulnerable to grooming.

Thanks for sharing. This is a fascinating read.

I would not support any group headed up by a racist Tommy Robinson supporter.

I do think that some trans people may well be suffering from MH issues, but I certainly don't agree that they shouldn't be free to exist in the way they are comfortable without fear of abuse or attack or discrimination.

I do agree that transmen should not be in female spaces. But there are other ways of expressing this than teaming up with far right sympathisers.

So yeah, if I were to attend it probably would be as a counter-protestor.

But I'm not well enough to go to marches now regardless.

Do you mean transwomen?

Logically it should be trans man for a man who says he identifies as a woman.
