She’s crystal clear, he waffles on. Tried to transcribe his non answers:-

Yeah so we want I mean everyone to be safe umm and we also know that we have trans people, both men and women, who are men and women uh and so uh we know so if you're a trans woman are women.

Man interrupts her trans women are women.

Let’s let him answer the question

On he goes....

I appreciate your point of view I’m so sorry that you were .. I appreciate you talking about it I think we need to protect the safety of all women and that obviously that's incredibly important and I also know that trans women are also brutalized in this country. So women and and cisgender women are brutalized. And we have to protect the safety of all women.

She leaves, brave woman.
Unbelievable.

Here is some background on this thread.

That woman is BAD ASS!

Women and "cis" Women so now the males are Women and us females are now a sub category of cis women. Bastard.

Wow, she’s a really powerful speaker. What an inspiring woman.

Waffle waffle
Tish is brave, but obviously still really upset by the whole thing including the spotlight being on her now. Hope she's getting support

Wow. Just wow.
I was expecting people to clap she was so magnificent. The silence as she left is both fascinating and disturbing.

Senator Wiener has a fitting surname. Nominative determinism.

This Senator Weiner showing his support for the Folsom Street fair, just to further illustrate which side he’s chosen.

No, I really did NOT need to see Senator Sausage in his leather, thanks.

Ugh.

Absolutely!It does indicate how most people are governed by a desire for social acceptance and are fearful of confrontation.

My question, I'm still pondering, is how has this fear and been so thoroughly instilled, and at every level. And by whom?

Yes, that she ended up feeling she had to shout to defend herself. That guy in the white shirt clearly moved towards her with physical intent to remove her. I hated seeing what she was reduced to by that craven crowd, and not one person stood up in her defence.

So many prominent gay men now feel emboldened to express or display their total lack of respect for women.

The hard of understanding just need the two rules - BeKind and TWAW. It makes it easy to adopt and repeatedly defend a position in a way that requires zero thought or reflection. Perfect for politicians, really easy to stay on message in the face of public questions.

How does dressing up in leather and parading around in public help the majority of the Senator's constituents? It tells them nothing about his ability to do his job just that he is probably in to some pretty dodgy sex stuff. Keep it at home, we don't need to know

It would be interesting to see video the rest of the event. The crowd does not seem that partisan (some members perhaps but compared to some events) but the are strangely mute.

According to the Senator 'trans women are brutalised'.

Yeah, they feel brutalised if someone uses the wrong pronoun...which makes them feel 'unsafe'.

Women are actually being brutalised because they are routinely physically or sexually assaulted.

But we need to concentrate our efforts on 'protecting the dolls' ... not women and girls. 'the dolls'. 😡
