TRA attacked by passer-by

[TheDevilWearPrimarni]

The boot was on the other foot on this occasion.
I don’t condone violence against anyone however.

I hope the police make similar enquiries when women are attacked when trying to protest.

That’s terrible. Spitting is so violating and clearly meant to be degrading.

Male violence is horrifying.

a man attacked people to be clear here - - not one of the vipers

and to be further clear the evidence shows transwowen commit violence at the same rate and other men which supports their being classed as men

if all men were less violent the world would be a better place

Ah, but haven’t you heard men are [only being] violent towards TRAs because women are saying Mean Things? Especially JK Rowling, it is definitely totally her fault most of all…

Men attacked by another man.
I don't condone any violence of course but its not unusual for men to hit eachother

The spitting is utterly vile.

I think most of us would support third spaces for trans people to protect them from men who might want to do them harm.

I find it interesting that this happened when not one of them was filming it

The article mentions that there is a video, and there are photos included. Did you read it?

Did you mean to be so rude?

Too make it much simpler for you.

I find it interesting that there was only the one video of this, as there are always plenty of people taking videos at these marches.

Does that help?

Absolutely unacceptable whatever his reasons. I hope no one is hurt, I'm sure they're shaken up, and I hope the assailant is prosecuted to the same firm extent to which men have been prosecuted when assaulting women on peaceful protests.

I think we can all agree that male pattern violence is a bad thing.

The BBC picked up on this. Funny that. They ignored almost a decade of one way TRA violence against women. Do they have an agenda?

And are they really so stupid to have not realised plenty of journalists and some MPs are now on to this, and it may produce very strong evidence of sex based bias?

Obviously it's difficult to tell just from photos, but some cultures (my own included) have men that can get very violent if they think anyone is displaying signs of LGB or T in their vicinity. Murderously so sadly.

Just yet another excuse for male violence.

Some man spat at and shoved a protester. Awful. I hope they are ok.

"It's not surprising. People get angry when they don't understand something, people get angry when they don't agree with something, instead of having a conversation with people.
"Instead of being curious, asking questions, wanting to get involved, wanting to know how they can make a difference; the first line of defence is for them to get angry and attack and that's what happened."

It's awful that someone attacked three people, and disgusting to spit on them. Really vile.

The above quote - that is true for some people - I've noticed it more with male people - but when I don't understand something I ask questions. I've seen that be true of many women too. I've actually found that it's the questions that receive a violent response (to be clear, I'm talking about typing them on online forums, not screaming them at people). So that doesn't apply to everyone and indeed I've seen a lot of male people get angry and attack. I would hope that they are asked not to by event organisers as well.

Im not condoning violence but I note with interest that this incident is being properly investigated while the violent attacks on women have gone unnoticed. I would cynically suggest it's because it was men being attacked that the police bother with investigating it

That's a good point! Everything seems to be filmed these days, you think they would be filming it to post to their blogs/tiktoks, wouldn't you?

I hope everyone is ok. Violence is never the answer.

Good job they were there to capture all the footage...

Yet again it's men committing violent acts of aggression. A male spitting and pushing in this case. Just as in Leeds this weekend it was a male attacking women with a crossbow. Also the horrendous attack in Vancouver where a male drove a car and murdered and injured multiple innocent people. Sickening.

Do you think it was made up? and the man was actually a TRA?

He was a man. Some men do things like that. Doubt he was a TRA.

Well the police have arrested a man.
Funny how they never arrest the TRAs when they are being threatening and aggressive to women.

The attacker does not look to be someone at all interested in gender issues on either side of the debate.
