I'm a child free bisexual. I have close friends in this movement who are child free lesbians. You think we're all mummies in flowery dresses and pearls you are tripping. We don't hate people like you. We *are* people like you. We just think women ...
Which reminds me, my byline on this has mysteriously disappeared and been replaced with 'Pop Matters Staff.' Anyone want to hazard a guess as to possible reasons why. Must remember to chase that up. https://t.co/SbamAT... https://t.co/1N68ZF...
Trans people are the most marginalised and vulnerable in the world. But shouting at FGM survivors on their behalf is cool as hell and makes you beloved everywhere. Twat. https://t.co/oGcR0H...
And you are aligning yourself with the millennia old belief that males get to define women in their own interests. Please explain why women do not have a right to their own self-definition in a way that makes you sound like not a misogynist. ...
Okay, post misogynist protest palate cleanser. https://t.co/BBtP8v...

I don't think anyone understands how a democracy should function well as well as Lucy. https://t.co/1f6S2K...
RT @LucyHunterB: The history of mob intimidation is rarely about politicians actively supporting them, and generally much more about politicians turning a blind eye or finding it “complicated”. https://t.co/J1T7Kb...
Oh, well, that never happens to women. And totally justifies angry mobs shouting 'fuck terfs' because women are trying to meet to to discuss their *given rights in law.* https://t.co/1gQTd4...

Good news! Protestors dispersed. Women out safely :) #WPUKManchester https://t.co/fdURiG...
Oh FFS. People can't have 'autonomy' over other people's bodies. That's not even conceptually coherent. They mean 'authority.' And women refusing to be redefined as a gender are exercising *their* autonomy and right to self-definition. https://t.co/ ...
RT @boodleoops: Highlight of the night was when it went quiet for a moment inside and we heard a male voice shout through a megaphone “the gender binary is a colonial construct!” And everyone inside hooted with laughter #WPUKManchester
.@gmpolice There are a lot of people watching what is happening at the #WPUKManchester meeting right now. We trust you will ensure that all the attendees of the meeting are able to leave safely.
This is absolutely right. https://t.co/1f6S2K...
Well seeing as they are impervious to reason, logic, coherence, and have somehow had their brains mangled into thinking middle aged feminist women defending their given rights in law are genocidal nazis, I suggest he goes out and sees how he gets on ...
RT @GSpellchecker: The protest outside probably has no idea it is currently attempting to drown out the voice of refugee Maggy Moyo, speaking about her struggle for women's rights and helping vulnerable women "our rights were taken away from us ...
RT @JeanHatchet: Oi protesters! You are drowning out an African woman talking about her experiences and experiences of refugee women asylum seekers. This is you. Shouting over women of colour and survivors of male violence. #WPUKManchester
RT @HanoverHussy: A huge angry crowd shouts ‘Protect Trans Youth’- which is nice, but bears zero relevance to the #WPUKManchester meeting Inside survivors & refugees discuss single sex spaces and women’s sports Crowds with pitchforks protesting ...
The fact that women cannot meet together to discuss the preservation of their *current rights in law* tells us everything about what this 'civil rights' movement is about, and who is its target. https://t.co/RuS0nm...
Your political movement has enough power to put Lia Thomas on a podium and try to silence all the female competitors and their parents when pretty much everyone can see it is absurd and unfair. Oh, and for news networks to soft-filter their face. ...

Okay, so the meaning of 'woman' in law and public life is 'adult human female' right? Good. Glad we got that all sorted. Everyone, we can go home. Get the gin. https://t.co/hocnoY...

Do you think a female person should have a right to be in a rape crisis counselling group without the presence of an evident male? Because in my town, that is not available. There is a trans group, and group for males, but no space for females, ...
I have a lot of sympathy for a lot of this. What I don't have sympathy for is blaming women standing up for their rights, rather than understanding that the problem was a movement that tried to abolish our existence as a sex class by fiat. There ...
RT @ZeldaTheChicken: We gave up ‘woman’ and now they want ‘female.’ NO https://t.co/fFPz7Y...
No, you want to insist that if there's not a perfectly hard binary the categories are meaningless and women can be redefined. Categories have edge cases. That has no bearing on their usefulness. And the existence of Jaffa cakes does not make a ...
