“Fuck cops. Arm trans women.” Placard at pro trans march in Bristol

[IwantToRetire]

The march is one of many the city has seen since a Supreme Court ruling in April concluded that the legal definition of a woman is only based on their biological sex and not their acquired sex.

They’re transwomen. Nothing to do with women

They need to start recognising their own title. Not others.

Not much solidarity if they hide behind masks. They just look stuck in a covid time warp

Men

They're all men in that photo!

It's Bristol - they famously hate women, their council are run by the Green Misogynistic party who are refusing to obey the law. I don't know what else there is to say

IMO, What we are seeing is male entitlement.

The rage a certain type of man feels when women don't prioritise them and stroke their ego and do as they are told.

They are enraged because they believe that what they want should happen and how dare mere women not obey them.

Women who disobey must be punished.

That's not a female mindset.

That's an abusive and misogynistic male mindset.

And the women joining them? Sadly, for some women it's a performative behaviour in hopes of gaining male approval and/or avoiding harm.

Obviously we can't see their pronouns in the photo, but i agree it seems like a lots of masculine presenting males in the photo. They are the ones pushing themselves to the front, at least.

It used to mainly women on these marches, but its turning very blokey. I dont know if its because the women have had enough, or the men who've always been in the background have pushed themselves forward as the movement has lost ground.

I really wish they were just called men or trans men. I hate that men can called themselves women even with a prefix

Aw look at those men, hiding their sad little faces. Don’t blame them tbh. Nobody wants to see their ugly mugs.

I completely agree with them. You only have to look at the photo to see how vulnerable they all are.

What a great picture. Methinks the picture editor at Bristol 247 is a biological realist.

I don't understand, if they hate women so much, as they seem to, why they want to be recognised and described as real women!
They want to be something they hate. It's never made any sense to me.

I thought it was supposed to be about trans people, but it’s all TW this and TW that - can’t see anything about transmen.

Silly, silly boys

Deleted. Wrong thread.

And they wonder why we don't embrace having them in our single sex spaces... 🙄

One of the banners / scrappy pieces of cardboard says 'we are dying while you're debating'.

Chaps, I have excellent news for you: trans people in the UK are really safe. You're not dying.

(oh, is that not good news because pretending to be vulnerable is part of the thrill? sad times)

feels like time to post a picture of the famous Leeds Spinners banner which is beautiful and stands in marked contrast to those ugly and fucking stupid banners

Men and handmaidens march against women's rights and equality in law, while threatening to injure and kill anyone who thwarts them.

Yes, definitely progressive and safe to be in women's spaces, and not looking dangerously batshit at all.

Yeah, funny that,

That’s exactly what I thought.. There is hope in Bristol!

Even the transes on Reddit have realised that that is a bad sign for them:

For those who haven't seen the sign, which is plastered front and centre on the Bristol site's coverage. (Lot of men there, in the front.) But they just want to pee!

Love some of the comments underneath

I hadn't seen them! Perhaps there is hope for Bristol yet 😆
