Iron bar wielding trans activists arrested at Paris protest over gender-critical book

Two French essayists who repudiate gender ideology required heavy police protection after being targeted by a mob of trans activists armed with grenades and iron bars during a book signing at their publisher’s premises in Paris.

The two authors, Dora Moutot and Marguerite Stern, have long lived in fear of being attacked for speaking out about the importance of women’s sex-based rights, and regularly receive death threats. Now, they are being hounded by trans activists over the publication of their bestselling essay, Transmania.

Last month(**), the two authors were invited to speak at the Institute of Social, Economic and Political Sciences (ISSEP) in Lyon as part of a conference titled Comment L’idéologie Transgenre Détruit des Vies? (How Transgender Ideology Destroys Lives).

However, before the event had even begun, the venue – a private school founded by right-wing MP Marion Maréchal-Le Pen – was swarmed by around 300 trans activists who vandalised the front of the institute with all their familiar, cosplay civil rights slogans (“Dirty TERF”, “TERFS out of our struggle”, “No transphobes”, etc).

Sure, because it's dead common for women to be iron bar wielding, death and rape threatening, violent monsters. So there's nothing strange about their claim that they have lady brains at all.

OhcantthInkofaname · 10/10/2024 02:30

I cannot read or speak French but I'm buying that book.

Livinginaclock · 10/10/2024 02:33

Gosh, how very kind of them.

Happyinarcon · 10/10/2024 03:07

It sounds like rent-a-mob. I bet this book will be sold at a lot of bookstores without any bother at all.

I watched a video of Stern and she's so reasonable, so normal, of course they want to shut her up (she's quite naturally beautiful too, so that's also why they probably hate her)

Iron bars are bad enough but grenades?? Wtf

MarieDeGournay · 10/10/2024 12:53

Soup is bad enough but iron bars? grenades?? That's serious escalation.

lcakethereforeIam · 10/10/2024 13:15

Grenades!? Is that a mistranslation? They had bombs?

Jessie1259 · 10/10/2024 13:16

That's how entitled men behave when they don't get what they want.

TWETMIRF · 10/10/2024 13:24

Women say they don't feel safe sharing spaces with transwomen. Transwomen feel the best way to allay our fears is to get violent. Just another day in transland...

NitroNine · 10/10/2024 13:40

Most of the news coverage - what there is - mentions only the iron bars; Frontières makes mention of explosifs: as it looks/sounds, “explosives”. My guess would be they had fireworks/flares/smoke bombs.

OuterSpaceCadet · 10/10/2024 13:59

Fucking hell

My message to people who think it is kindest if society pretends there is no difference between the sexes is YOU FIRST, LADS.

Behave in such a way that it is harder to distinguish men from women. Do that consistently untill crime levels and the gender pay gap are radically altered and then come back to us about being a fucking woman.

Where are all the glitter family rainbows and #BeKind when transactivists actually show up at your house...

Sneezeless · 10/10/2024 14:09

Most oppressed eh?

IwantToRetire · 10/10/2024 16:30

It sounds like rent-a-mob.

If only it were. Men who turn up at events because they just want a bit of aggro are not half as dangerous and threatening to women, as men who turned up filled with righteous anger against women to the extent that they next the only solution is iron bars.

What does that tell you about men who think gender critical women are that much of a threat.

Or are being so uppity as to have their own ideas and challenge men's right to tell women what to think, say and do.

Yes, the cognitive dissonance in these cases is astounding, isn't it?

kiterunning · 10/10/2024 16:42

I rather love that word- Transmania- it's very apt.

SinnerBoy · 10/10/2024 16:44

Yes, along with Traniban.

InvisibleBuffy · 10/10/2024 16:53

Hoping the book gets an English translation. I'd love to read it

lcakethereforeIam · 10/10/2024 17:14

Trantrum is a good one.

Hairyesterdaygonetoday · 10/10/2024 17:20

Yes! Traniban is perfect. 👏👍

Especially as I suspect they’re the same people who were thrilled when Hamas flew paragliders to launch a massacre of Israelis at a music festival last year. So exciting! Like menacing women with iron bars! Such a thrill.
