I have just watched a woman being interviewed and she became quite upset as she attended a stop violence against women demo in Manchester and they were attacked by trans activists.

She explained that this was organised to follow International Woman’s Day and was about stopping violence against all women and girls. They had paint thrown on them and various other attacks. This poor lady was bewildered and upset, understandably, that trans activists could behave this way. I don’t understand it either and it does seem to me that some of these militant trans activists aren’t trans at all; they just hate women. It’s about time we all said enough!

Their true colours were shown reverting to male violence ?Yes, it was true irony, wasn't it Kalu

A protest by women against violence by men against women and girls then along come male thugs claiming to be transgender who start attacking women.

Thanks for posting the report Chewbacca

I am sick to the back teeth that women’s rights are being swept under the carpet. I have no grudge against a man who wants to be a woman but railing against natal women will never further their cause. A bunch of male thugs attacking women and children? Their true colours were shown reverting to male violence?

AGAA4 one such transwoman is Debbie Hayton, about whom you can read a fair bit on-line. She is a campaigner for trans rights but is strongly against gender self identification and also supports laws which define single sex spaces being based on sex not identity.

Thank you. This is good to know. I hope there are more like Debbie but the TRAs are so aggressive and in this case with the march, violent that many transwomen will keep a low profile. Debbie is very brave.

Rosie51 Yes, I follow her on Twitter, and I’ve seen a lot of vile comments made when she posts. And I’m happy to use “her” to describe her, even though I’ve read articles where she still describes herself as a man.

Exactly grannydarkhair and being a science teacher Debbie says it like it is, transwomen are male. There was a post from her recently saying she is male her wife is female. She does come in for some nasty name calling from some TRAs.

Some transwomen think they should be front and centre stage of the sex class they want to join, and get very angry when that hasn't happened. Some men just hate women and see being allies to transwomen as a convenient peg on which to hang their colours. They get to be abusive to women while claiming to be supporting a 'vulnerable group' I'd suggest this transwoman and friends meet those criteria. Isn't it strange that Ive never heard of violence from transmen and their allies?

Totally agree AGAA4

It's hard to take that a march against violence to women is interrupted by violent men . They are not helping the cause of trans women who want to live peacefully in the gender they feel comfortable in.

I'm beginning to think that women aren't as safe as they were in the dark ages GGsad.

Rosie51 Thu 17-Mar-22 14:50:24

Sorry to be thick but what does WRN stand for?

I don't understand why any protest about violence against women and girls seems to attract the TRAs wanting to shout them down. To then go on to commit violent acts against the women........ it really is depressing. Well over a hundred years since the suffragettes started to get some rights for women and here we are again with women shut up, be quiet, know your place.

Women in the 21st century are apparently no safer now than in the dark ages.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour and as you've posted Doodledog "this nails it".

It demonstrates how much damage these trans activists are doing to the very cause of the people they claim to be supporting.

We will have to wait and see what the trans allies have, if anything to say Chewbacca. Let's hope it's unreserved disgust and shame that some can behave in such a despicable way.

VioletSky Its good to see your condemnation of the attacks by transactivists on women and children.
It isn’t looking for an argument to refer to the indefensible at times being supported because of the oppression trans people experience.
I’ve seen a lot of whataboutery when the issue of oppression and violence towards women is raised
