199 Days Later national day of action

[Whatthechicken]

I just wanted to draw your attention to the march planned for the 1st November in London. The organisers have now announced that there will be a 199 Days Later demo in Edinburgh, Scottish Parliament, and a demo in Cardiff, the Senedd, at the same time. Hopefully lots more women can now attend the closest action to them.

Women brought banners and held speeches, exercised their democratic right to protest.

Men stripped off, caused noise nuisance, fought police.

Nothing like these protests to illustrate the two sides of the argument.

Shame about the second last word of that headline…

'In April, the Supreme Court ruled that the term "women" refers to biological sex, rather than gender identity, leading to mass disgruntlement across Britain within the pro-trans community'

Disgruntlement, eh?

Does anyone know if there’s any video of the speakers and where I can watch it? I was there and there were great speakers but parts were hard to hear.

Indeed!

Protest is led by men. No one wanted to talk. Many were heavily masked.

Roisin Murphy joined the 199DaysLaterMarch in London to demand the government adhere to the Supreme Court's ruling on Single Sex Spaces.

I gather they’re all in a pub with a boat load of sailors 😂

Yep! A great event! We could even hear the speakers!

I have been watching on TwitteX and everyone seems to have had a great time.

Amazing banners.

Shout out to the Cardiff group who had to put up with bad policing and noise. Fortunately, London and Edinburgh police showed what they could do!

In London, we could hear some background noise from them, but we had a microphone and there was a building between the groups.

We really did walk past them and I don’t think many of us paid them much attention.

Anyone know if the cabaret of hate tried to repeat his one man misogyny fest?

I should have said I meant Edinburgh. The police did their job well this time. There were only a handful of counter-protesters.

I did enjoy how the gruntle was dissed.

It is gradually getting clearer that the judgment is about women too and its not all and only about the shouty men.

Cardiff – very noisy group of protesters very close to the Senedd steps.

The policing was badly done. The police let them move forward more and more over time and to be honest if the protesters had pushed it physically there weren’t enough police, and they weren’t being organised well enough, to have sorted that out.

However we were treated to a series of extraordinary chants, and the clear expression of male violence along with watching what appeared to be vulnerable, lost, young people.

In a crowded field, the best poster was probably the one that said:
”Biological sex is what I had with your mother last night”.
We were scratching our heads over that one.

Grok is hooked directly into twitter and so it can sample all the tweets and links about a given story over any period you like. Its summary of the 199 days protest seems pretty comprehensive

#199DaysLater Protests: Full Summary (November 1, 2025)
Background
On April 16, 2025, the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers ([2025] UKSC 16) that “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 means biological sex—not gender identity or self-ID. This confirmed women’s right to single-sex spaces/services (e.g., prisons, toilets, refuges, sports, hospitals). 3 6
199 days later (today), grassroots women from @acts_grassroots, Women Won’t Wheesht (@WWWheesht), For Women Scotland, WRN, and allies held coordinated protests across the UK demanding:

• Immediate implementation of the ruling.
• EHRC guidance laid before Parliament ASAP (delayed by Labour govt).
• No males in female-only spaces: prisons (#NoMinWPrisons), changing rooms, wards, sports.
• Hashtags: #199DaysLater #TheLawIsTheLaw #WomenWontWheesht #TickTock #SingleSex101 11 21

1. LONDON: March (Organized by @acts_grassroots)

• Hundreds marched from Whitehall to Parliament Square—vibrant, peaceful sisterhood.
• Banners/Signs: “TRANS WOMEN ARE MEN”, “SEX IS REAL”, “199 DAYS LATER – IMPLEMENT NOW”.
• Highlights:
• | Singer Roisin Murphy joined—huge cheers!| LGB Alliance, Legal Feminist, Women of Wessex, Surrey WRN, CU Soc of Women present.
• Counter-protest: Trans activists clashed verbally; police separated groups.
• Atmosphere: Empowering—“TERFs” united for women’s rights. GB News covered live. 68 50 52

2. EDINBURGH: Demo at Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) – Women Won’t Wheesht

• Hundreds braved rain/hail—“shoulder-to-shoulder solidarity”.
• Speakers:
• | Dr Pam Gosal MSP (only MSP, Scottish Conservative): 5-min fiery speech—slammed SNP/John Swinney for “scary movie” delay, faulty trans guidance, males in female spaces. “THE LAW IS THE LAW… Women Won’t Wheesht/Won’t Wait!” Vowed to fight till 2026 election. 12 | Eva Comrie, Shereen (LWD Scotland), Susan Smith (FWS), others—“brave women” inspired crowd. 10
• Police Scotland: Praised—kept counter-protest 200m away (PA, drums, megaphones inaudible). Massive win after past failures (e.g., Sep 4 drowning-out). 54 90
• Scotsman: Column hailed it as Police Scotland’s “big choice”—they chose right. 32

3. CARDIFF: Rally at Senedd

• Strong turnout outside Welsh Parliament—demanding Welsh Govt obey ruling.
• Incident: Women in women’s rights t-shirts ejected from Norwegian Church Arts Centre—“discrimination”!
• Counter-protest: Aggressive—close-range shouting/obscenities; SW Police let them near (van emblazoned “Proudly serving LGBTQ+”—called out). Women held up SC ruling printouts: “You’ve lost!”
• Defiant vibe: “Misogyny running high—but we know what a woman is.” 16 51 80

Key Outcomes & Impact

• Resounding success: Women heard loud/clear despite weather/opposition. No arrests (women’s side).
• Pressure builds: Govts dragging feet amid TRA lobbying—“6.5 months too long!”
• Solidarity: Cross-party, LGB, sports groups (e.g., SEENinSport, @parkrunUK called out).
• Next: More actions—“Tick Tock” till compliance.

Solidarity with the women of Wales, who seem to have got the worst of the trans activists' bullshit today.

Lovely to see events all over.

London was fantastic. Huge turnout & the TRAs were kept well out of the way for the whole thing.

The Met police did an absolutely brilliant job for us.

Oh dear, so sad to see all those TA with bad colds, but how sensible of them to protect the rest of us from their germs by wearing masks, though I am sorry not to see their happy little faces properly.

I went to the London event and it was fantastic - great atmosphere, creative banners, brilliant speeches. It had been very well planned and organised and was well stewarded. I loved the singing!

The advanced liaison between organisers and police really paid off. The Met police were excellent (I never thought that I'd type those words!). Unlike a lot of Let Women Speak Events, the TRAs were kept well away from us and not allowed to drown women out. They weren't anywhere near Parliament Square where we met or the space in Whitehall, opposite Downing Street, where the speeches were. Instead, they were corralled into a small area, about halfway along the route of the march and on the opposite side of the road to us.

I’ve just been reading an account of the day on trans Reddit. Apparently there were 3 arrests among the TRAs (at least 2 of whom were provoked), it wasn’t fair to paint them as ‘masked thugs’ because their masks weren’t at all intimidating, & the writer was very confused by seeing a woman on our side with a Terf Island flag.
