Bristol Let Women Speak Today

[fromorbit]

Stream:

The Police actually did a good job it seems this time, and kept the MRAs away from the women.

The BBC actually reported it. Not very good report, but it is there for a change.

Police presence at transgender-related protests

A large group of police officers gathered in a city centre to keep two opposing groups apart during protests.
The Let Woman Speak rally on College Green, Bristol, saw about 100 supporters come together to listen to speeches about issues affecting women.

Glad the police did their jobs. The reporting though.... 'let women speak' and 'issues affecting women' is a 'transgender related protest'.

Because naturally, everything women ever think or do is always all about men.

Oh for the day when women speaking about their human rights are described as women speaking about their human rights.

But given that, at present, one man’s wish to intrude into women’s spaces outweighs an infinite number of women’s needs for privacy — we may have to wait some time.

Just came to see if there was a thread on this having seen this news headline

Isn’t it a bit disingenuous to pretend that LWS is only about women speaking about women’s rights? LWS is about women protecting their rights that have been threatened and trampled upon as a result of the insane extension of trans rights

You can't expect much favourable coverage from local media in Bristol, I think, sadly. I have many fond memories of Bristol, but nowadays it seems like a mini-Brighton.
