Does anyone know what's happening at Sisters Salon in Brighton tomorrow? I've heard there's going to be a protest. Can't say much more.

Regrettably, I watched the instagram video. He says he was arrested, but the cops let him off because he said he was protesting 🙄

Two Tier Policing at its finest. Anyone feel like suing Sussex Police?

Edited to add: what an arsehole. Diverting emergency services is beyond selfish.

This smells funny - I don;t believe this can be entirely true.

Apart from everything else, why on earth is Sarah wasting his time and energy like this? He could be doing something useful for the trans community, like campaigning for separate spaces for trans people, or having a meeting about the unique challenges of trans health care.

Imagine being furious about a group of women and trans men (yes there were trans men in attendance) meeting to discuss women’s health. Let’s silence that endometriosis chat.

I'm so glad sister salon continue to welcome their trans-identified sisters. So much for 'trans-exclusionary', no just aggressive males like Sarah Savage.

Wow JK Rowling has Tweeted about it!

Indeed. Shutting up women talking about their health needs is more important to him than championing the needs of his own community.

Why the hell was he not charged? This is a crime? Who the hell do the police think they are?

It is all over X. Hopefully it will get in the media now with JKR's tweet. Alarm bells will be ringing as people read so more peaking can happen

J.K. Rowling

An investigation into the persistent failure of UK police to protect women exercising their lawful right to hold a female-only event, alongside the failure to hold men like 'Sarah Savage' accountable for repeated acts of intimidation and public disorder, is long overdue.

Jon Pike
So, as an example, this is an exercise of old-fashioned male entitlement. This trans-identified male is justifying his disruption of a women-only event in Brighton. It's on a par with male opposition to women's suffrage, or, more light-heartedly, that Harry Enfield "Women! Know your place!" sketch. It's important to recognize this and for the pieces to fall into place - perhaps particularly -for men on the liberal-left.

This is sexism.
This is male chauvinism.
This is misogyny.
This is patriarchy - a system from which we (men) all benefit, and which we should oppose.

Most men on the left have an inkling of what male entitlement involves. Probably, for all of us, our understanding is patchy, but the basic contours should be apparent. It's past time that we join the dots and recognized its new and insidious form.

How much more explicit than "Shut up, women!" does it have to get?

Have sisters salon released a statement about it? It would be good to hear their side of it all.

ArabellaScott · 18/05/2025 16:38

This is Sarah Savage talking to Pink News about living in a women's refuge:

'[Savage] made a best friend, who asked “the same curious questions that any cis person asks” about Sarah’s transition. But apart from that, none of the other women in the refuge ever questioned her gender identity. “They just accepted me straight away,” she says.'

MrsOvertonsWindow · 18/05/2025 16:42

No woman in their right mind is going to challenge Sarah in a women's refuge. They'd likely lose their place for "transphobia" or end up in hospital if all his comments / threats on his Instagranm post are to be believed.

So pleased that JKR keeps exposing this torrent of misogyny and police collusion with trans offenders.

LittlerCharlotte · 18/05/2025 18:27

Why on earth was he de arrested? Is this actual fact?

Namechanged briefly for this.
Sisters Salon held an open meeting to discuss ideas for a pilot NHS women’s health hub. That annoyed Sarah Savage.
we’d all sat down and were were just about to start when the fire alarm went off.
We all trooped out SS was being told to pipe down by security.
we went back in after about15 mins and Savage was sitting on a chair in the atrium shouting TWAW while security awaited for the police.
We lost about 20 minutes of our meeting.
More annoyed were the GSCE and A level students who’d had their revision interrupted. Library staff had to do an incident report and I guess more paperwork.
But the plus point was no cheers for Savage’s lame protest and lots of annoyed library users. He looked a complete d*ckhead. NHS will hopefully take our ideas onboard
When we started Sisters Salon we went under the radar, now of course we can meet openly and we ain’t afraid of silly one-man protests

Wankers.

Hopefully they'll have created a new generation of TERFs with those GCSE and A-level students.

WhiteRosesInMyDreams · 19/05/2025 18:03

In the video Sarah says trans people are strong, fierce and will put up a fight. I absolutely believe that of some transwomen!!

MarieDeGournay · 19/05/2025 18:50

In the video he says 'something went in his head' as he was walking past the library... I think that happened a looooooong time ago, Sarah!

INeedAPensieve · 19/05/2025 20:05

What a powerful statement. I really do hope that the police give an acceptable answer as to why a criminal offence being committed does not merit an arrest. Or at least not a dearrest.

TicklishLemur · 19/05/2025 20:35

Great statement dispelling the libellous assertion that Sister Salon is a hate group. Anything but - they are the only service in Brighton who truly support vulnerable trans-identified and detrans women. Shame on TRAs for objecting to a group who care for every woman no matter her story.

Wow, from SS's instagram, a fire service person replies:
"The fire alarms in these large buildings will often directly call out the fire service to attend. We have alarms calls all the time. When crews are turning in for those alarms they are not able to be directed to genuine emergencies. Right to protest should always be legal but please don't use the fire alarms in big public buildings for them 🙏🏻 "

Un fucking believable!! These cretins have no awareness whatsoever.

Here is the TRA boasting about it on Instagram. Stunning and brave 🙄 https://www.instagram.com/share/BAKf8JM5pd

What a complete arsehole.

Yeah, ‘Sarah’, we’re all totally convinced that you and your display of male aggression is somehow valid.

That reply from the supporter...🙄 These people are completely divorced from reality, aren't they? And not just because they don't know which sex they are.

@LittlerCharlotte I'm not surprised he's deleted that video - it's clear evidence that he broke the law. It's heartening that the statement from Sisters Salon says a criminal investigation is ongoing, so I hope he will be charged and that the video has been saved by someone and can be used against him in court.

If the police who attended the incident really did release him because he said it was a protest, that needs to be investigated too.

It’s still there. Were you trying to click through from the Sisters Salon statement? I imagine they chose not to link to it.
