Hannah Spencer harassed in Manchester

[MissScarletInTheBedroom]

Despite the fact that certain very vocal sections of this board are aggressively anti-trans and anti-Green, I'd gently suggest that this kind of confrontation and abuse is unacceptable in any civilised society, regardless of personal ideologies.

Perhaps the saddest irony here is that these male bigots claim to be protecting women's rights whilst trying to attack a woman MP. On International Women's Day.

I'd be curious to see how other MNetters feel about this situation...

No idea tbh but why are they always so aggressive?

Btw, why haven't you responded to the posters pointing out your op was based on a lie?

"No idea tbh but why are they always so aggressive?"

You admit to having no idea about a marginalised group, but still condemn make statements that they want total domination?

I can't imagine any other situation in life where people have no idea about a group of people but are still aggressively opposed to them...

Of course, this pitchforks and brand-waving clamour has rather derailed the thread, which presumably was the intention in the first place by the usual suspects here, but it has at least been instructive that it has provided a neatly clear picture about the political ideologies that are core to this forum.

Maybe the online magazine Jezebel was right when they said MN "has become a toxic breeding ground for transphobia"...? 🤔

Bedders You've conflated comments from two different posters.

You really show who you are with posts like this.

Thanks for the thread, OP. The sunlight is excellent. Every time you post, it gets brighter 😎🌞

Men, however they identify, are not 'a marginalised group'.

And it's worth repeating that violence against trans people has fallen for two years in a row. Unlike violence against women.

Doesn't it just?

"pitchforks" "brand-waving clamour" "a toxic breeding ground for transphobia"

....yawwwnnn...

No attempt to deal with the true facts of the incident in Manchester

Yes, we've all been to look at the source material now, because that is what FWR women do, and we have found a very different tale to the one being pushed by the OP.

OP - A man attacked a woman and it's all YOUR FAULT! You must REPENT!

Everyone else - Er no, that's not what happened. Here's the evidence...

OP - You're derailing my thread with your PITCHFORKS!

🤣🤣🤣

I thought you were interested in what people on here thought?

Your pitchfork and brand waving didn't go to plan?

I'm not aggressively anything but you certainly are coming across as such in your posts here.

I have no idea what they want as they (as a group) haven't been very clear except where they are wanting to take over women's single sex spaces. Why do men want to be where women and girls undress? 🤔

Again, why did you lie in your op?

utter piffle.

Transwomen are not women.
So again: are women's rights in conflict with what transwomen want?

We should be able to ask people why they believe the nonsense.

Male or female.

See Nicola Sturgeon thread.

I can't imagine any other situation in life where people have no idea about a group of people but are still aggressively opposed to them...

Really? Think hard. I can. Some of them post on this board from time to time.

Agreed. A profound personality change? Some sort of trans room experience perhaps.

I think you’re a bit confused about which board you’re on- there’s no ‘anti trans’ voices here.

🤣

😂
This is fun. Your turn

I just watched the video from EdgeoftheMatrix and he asked questions while Hannah Spencer was well surrounded by police and security.

I am off to find the footage of just who did punch the woman in the face. If anyone has that link, it would be appreciated.

But I do recommend watching the link Hoardasurass posted up thread. A woman tried to take his sign, men tried to shoulder him out of the way, other men intimidated him by blocking him. The rise in numbers of 'auditors' doesn't surprise me when you see this type of behaviour, they get viewer numbers just from people fact checking.

Christ. Thank the lord for that. I was starting to have a little cry that @MissScarletintheballroom had changed her mind about things!!

This looks like the assault.

"derailed the thread, which presumably was the intention in the first place"

Setting the facts straight isn't "derailing".

Even the shitty Manchester Evening News says this:
She was questioned by a YouTuber wearing a 'Trans women are men' sandwich board, who repeatedly asked 'Are trans women women?' and 'Can a woman have a penis?'. Two men then began arguing as punches were thrown before a police officer intervened. One of the same men then became involved in a separate altercation with a woman, as several others stepped in.

Oh give over. Your opening post is complete bollocks.

The Equalities Officer from Unison is the person who punched a woman in the face.

And the video very helpfully shows it all in slow motion, so you don't miss a single second

I look at this rally and I am actually really shocked by the stewarding. The stewarding is aggressive and was not focused on de-escalation of the situation. It was a very poor stewarding effort.

I personally am thankful to this OP because I had been seeing footage of it on my phone since the wee hours of this morning and now that I can see it on my desktop, it is very clear what has happened.
