1st of my altercations.
#WhereWereYou

You should’ve been at #LetWomenSpeak #LetWomenSpeakBirmingham much earlier to help @SFW_Stewards make sure we didn’t have to use our bodies to stop men in dresses trampling us!

Vid 1/?

We were left so there was a large ratio of men TRAs : Women stewards as you can see from other lone stewards trying to get more groups of TRAs to get back.

Moments later the police still hadn’t formed a line between us and were just chilling at the sidelines whilst LWS attendees linked arms and stewards still had to use our bodies to prevent these men encroaching.
This is my bodycam perspective of another vid seen.

I spoke briefly (terrifying but worth it) at #LetWomenSpeakBirmingham yesterday and although I'm worried about any backlash particularly loss of clients and work etc, I'm glad I did. As an #autistic woman who has been parroting the gender woo for a while now, I'm so worried

About what is happening in #autism services and to #autistic kids as revealed by @hannahsbee (her book was a real turning point for me, its evidenced, balanced and free of ideology) I had intense issues with my body as a pre teen. I couldn't cope with the changes of puberty. I

Can totally see the appeal of rejecting all the societal bullshit that comes with being a female, especially when you're also #autistic and moving through the world is hard enough. Except, we can't ever really reject it. 'Top surgery' and Pronouns won't take away dysphoria, or

Had a conversation at #LetWomenSpeakBirmingham today which really made me think? Why aren't TRAs fighting for their OWN spaces? It's true that TW suffer from increased risk of male violence and need protection. With all the funding the LGBTQ orgs get, why is this not their focus

Instead of fighting women and trying to force everyone to use the TRA lingo? There is a real need for #trans specific refuges, rape crisis centres etc and I guarantee most women would fight for them and with them on this. I don't want anyone to be a victim of male violence and

All survivors need support and effective well funded services. Other minorities have built their own spaces. Rape crisis centres for gay men. Refuges for women of colour. Support groups for the disabled. Etc etc. It seems deeply weird that the trans rights movement is more focus

It was a real honour & privilege being a steward at a LWS event for the first time in the city that's been my home for the past 5 yrs. I took a few vids of the event, and I've posted them and a few comments below. 1/x #LetWomenSpeak #LetWomenSpeakBirmingham

Myself & another steward arrived late. As we were about to enter the fray, we caught sight of a police officer phoning for back up. The other steward explained who she was to the officer, & he told us that the police had only arranged for 3 officers to be present at the event 2/x

We asked if more would arrive given the animosity of the TRAs. He said the difficulty in getting more officers on the ground, was that he didn't want his bobbies being targets.

Originally the stewards held the line closer to the library. 3/x

Congratulations to the young woman who decided to gift us with a live demonstration of so much of what we say about the gender cult. (1/8)

#LetWomenSpeakBirmingham

You lied in order to get the mic and you abused the goodwill and trust of KJK and every person who'd travelled there to listen to women talking about women's lives and experiences. You were nervous but you didn't need to be because you knew that you wouldn't be harmed. (2/8)

You also know that the reverse couldn't happen. Women only have to be perceived as being on the side of women and children to be verbally abused and physically assaulted by your fellow cultists. (3/8)
