Oh thank you, @DialSquare

What is the rush?
More research (than 2 mins) would show you that they were part of a demonstration which contained many such placards... that they walked past these earlier... and yet their horrified faces look to be happily smiling.

IW tweet below of three female murderers. Two of whom were accomplices, probably enthusiastic, to crimes mostly committed by men. For the third, Elizabeth Bathory, IW had to go back nearly 500 years. I suspect, on any given day I could find 3 male murderers in the morning papers.

It's almost as though things that happen in Michigan and Washington are of less immediate interest to Scottish women than things that happen in Scotland. Inexplicable, really.

Well, quite!

And in the same country, without having to scour Europe...

The thing I note from male posters is that they really don't know what it's like to navigate the world in a female body and how vulnerable that can make you.

Also one wonders if there were local politicians there at the time.

oh wait. You're serious?

LOL like Afghan women, women who suffer DV, war orphans, gay men dying of aids etc? Those real issues that she financially supports?

(what is "nitter"? my VPN and my Firewall both say "do not enter, unsafe")

😂Extraordinary isnt it?

In any given hour.

JKR is pretty vocal about what's happening to women in Iran. I haven't noticed a trans aspect to that. Iran, of course, is noted for giving gay men a choice between execution and castration, which is hardly LBGTQ+ friendly.

I'm struggling to think of any situation where a politician would think it's OK, maybe even quite funny and good PR, to stand in front of a sign suggesting that anybody should be decapitated. What makes it OK to suggest this for women who want women's rights and spaces to be for females only?

Nitter is a copy of Twitter. I've been looking at it for months with no issues. Maybe I shouldn't!

Do you think that the wording on that placard is acceptable? Yes or no will suffice!

Clicking on the link works wether youre on X or not

So you admit to being a JK hater?

Not just vocal she put her money where her mouth is

'Kennedy, a director of the Institute of Human Rights for the International Bar Association, said: “Two years ago, two women judges in Kabul’s Supreme Court were assassinated – that really terrified all the women judges.
“Then in August of that year, when there was the military evacuation from Afghanistan, I started receiving desperate phone calls from women judges hiding in their basements.
“Taliban had been released from prison and were coming after these women, some of whom had jailed them for domestic violence and other crimes. It was clear they were high on the list of those at risk of being killed.”
Kennedy found that chartering a plane out of Afghanistan would cost £650,000 a trip. They then had to be accommodated in Athens – chosen because Greece’s president had been a female judge – while they sought asylum worldwide. A total of £4million was needed.
Kennedy said: “JK Rowling just said: ‘I want to help these women’. She gave me hundreds of thousands of pounds to pay for hostel accommodation and people’s living expenses.”
Of the 508 rescued, around 60 are now living in Britain, according to Kennedy.'

afaik in Iran gay men have the chance to literally trans away their gay. I'm sure I've read that they are very experienced in gender reassignment surgery. Which is utterly horrific. (as is the way they treat women)

ERCC refused to even mention the existence of Beira's Place to women who indicated that they needed a service that was single sex.

The SLACK communications revealed that some staff at ERCC considered the opening of the new centre to help rape survivors 'really terrible news' and invited others to get together to 'rage' about it.

I still can't get over it, how spitefully ERCC behaved. So blinded by their own bigotry they couldn't see that it wasn't JK Rowling that they were hurting by not signposting women to Beira's Place, but the rape survivors they were supposed to care about and support.

'. I also sold my first company at 18 and now employ 23 staff across two businesses and a non-profit that funds women's shelters and phone support for women in abusive relationships.'
Great, what company was that and please do let us know whats the name of the non profit and phone support so we can donate

@Christinapple the man holding that sign was subsequently found guilty of drugging, raping and murdering a young father.
So it seems like carrying a sign like that is a fairly good indication of a potential credible threat of violence

I believe the choice for gay men is execution or transition - castration may be part of transition if the authorities insist on full GRS, but it's a distinction worth making. Homophobic in the extreme but arguably pro-trans.

Yes, Iran is very happy to have trans people. Better a straight woman than a gay man after all!

I am sure that Christinapple and co want to shine a light on how good human rights are in Iran and that it should be a country that all other countries aspire to copy.

Horrified to be caught out, you mean.

Doubtless they joined in without bothering to check what hateful signs the protesters were holding up as transactivists have a free pass to make threats against women and do so with such frequency that it’s no longer remarkable.

I genuinely think there is selective blindness about the constant hatred transactivists have for women who support women’s rights.

And that hatred is closely aligned with intense projection as they falsely claim, over and over, that women who want men out of their spaces hate “trans people”.
