Yeah I think this is happening in your imagination, along with your going along with a gang of mates to shout at women for daring to have a sex life that's not about men's dicks.

You keep on about these thousands of lesbians who are lining up in their keenness and availability to service men, and yet all you fret about is this apparently tiny group who won't.

Also noting the comment about 'if you dare to be out in public declaring female biology that isn't available to men, men will turn up and punish you'.

At least in their fantasies.

If anyone comes on here in future, wringing their hands about vulnerable Transwomen, we just need to show them this thread. It’s got it all.

Is there no data that supports your arguments or can you not find it?

@AidaPIf there are thousands of lesbians actively supporting trans women then why are you bothered about a small group of women who want to meet without any biological men present?
If you felt supported and validated at the main pride event why does it bother you that there was a small event somewhere else that didn’t include you?

Do you feel the same when other groups meet and exclude you because you don’t meet certain criteria? Or is it just women you want to bully and intimidate?

Counter-protest - Wikipedia

Since this is a foreign idea to you.

@AidaP why does this small group of women meeting annoy you so much? Just go hang with all the millions of (fictional) lesbians who go support you and would honestly date you guv if there weren’t other factors involved.

I do not care how big your rally is, if you meet/march for transphobia, you WILL be counter protested and drowned out. We've been doing it for years and have zero plans of stopping.

We do not tolerate hate, and this is a great way to show how yours does not translate to real life, as all you get is 15 people that ran off a moment after. Keep to your online make belief how this is "widely supported".

A counter protest to the idea some women don’t want to sleep with men 😂

It’s ten a penny stuff, mate. Every woman knows the most harassed woman is the one who says no to men.

That doesn’t answer my question.
This event wasn’t a protest. It didn’t require a counter protest.

You sound incredibly petty and insecure. Every thing you post just screams ‘hurt male pride’ and ‘fragile male ego’ and you STILL can’t articulate why a group of women wanting to meet without biological men present is a problem without using the word transphobia… which is not true anyway.

but they weren’t. One random dude shouted at them. Or maybe you’re of the impression that one dude is equivalent to 70 men who claim a trans identity. If you were there, I’m sure you’ll be glad to show the footage of you “protesting”.

Yeah, you'll bully, threaten and attack women who say no to you. We had that one figured out already.

Thankfully the law is on the side of women and single sex spaces.

Yet here you are … expecting women to tolerate your hatred of them 🤷🏼‍♀️

What data would you like exactly?

That the group that met on the 5th was not harassed as described is reported by those women themselves, it's on the threads.

That there are lesbians who do not wish to sleep with men or have their homosexuality defined and controlled by men behaving rather....interestingly.... towards women, is obviously also evidenced by this group meeting, isn't it? Photographic evidence of it. There they are. One over here too, I just wasn't able to get to London.

The thousands of lesbians apparently desperate to involve men in their homosexuality might be a bit harder to prove, I agree, but I'm fine with women making their own choices about their bodies and sexuality, and having a lovely time at Pride.

It's the part about going batshit when a woman's choice isn't about men, and then following them around and harassing them for it, that's the bit I have a problem with. And there's pages on this thread of evidence of that behaviour. Stark evidence.

Don't care how big ....Hang on, I thought this imaginary crowd of counter protesters looked at the size of the meeting and walked away (I remember the kick and beat words being involved). No 'drowning' involved.

It's not a protest mate. The Supreme Court has just made a ruling clarifying the law based exactly on the fact that lesbianism doesn't include men who identify as women.

there's nothing to protest. That's why it's pride, not protest.

The women are meeting because they have been told it's legitimate, morally and legally. And they can't wait to enjoy it. And have sandwiches in the park afterwards.

Men showing up to object are not countering any protest. They're just being incels demanding women's bodies.

I do not care how big your rally is, if you meet/march for transphobia, you WILL be counter protested and drowned out. We've been doing it for years and have zero plans of stopping.

"Malicious communications refer to the act of sending messages or content, whether online or offline, with the intent to cause distress, anxiety, or alarm to the recipient. This can include threats, offensive language, or other forms of harmful communication."

This.

It's not transphobic for women to meet without men. Never has been, and now the SC judgment has confirmed it.

It wasn't transphobia as it wasn't about transwomen. It was about lesbians. It wasn't a protest, it wasn't against anything, it was for lesbians.

So all your wails about transphobia and counterprotests are just flimsy arguments about why you think you have the moral right to stop 14 same sex attracted women meeting.

Guess what, you don't have the right, legally or morally and one of these days you will get arrested for homophobic hatespeech.

Imagine counter-protesting womens rights. What sort of person does that make you.

Womens rights is not 'transphobia'. Your hateful and bigoted misogynist rallies are femphobic.

Guess what, you don't have the right, legally or morally and one of these days you will get arrested for homophobic hatespeech.

And malicious communication, as evidenced by this thread.

Mumsnet can, and have, given up peoples details if asked to by the police

Tell that to the 15 people who went there and agree with you.

Or the ridiculous london-filling crowd at pride who says the very opposite. Trans women are women was made very clear on that day.

As opposed to the one incel who rode up to them?

Males with penis and testicles are not women. Biology says so. Anatomy says so. And the LAW says so. So take your femphobic misogynistic hateful bigotry elsewhere.

If it was only 15 people disagreeing with you why do you care? Oh wait… it’s because it’s 15 women.

Bet you wouldn’t ’counter protest’ a group of men who disagreed with you would you?

Say the person who threatens women with drowning them out, protesting, and showing up with their mates, if they dare say otherwise.

Scaring women into compliance isnt support, it's a crime.
