@MazCeee@PoliceScotland Amazing how all these men seem to have these random interactions in the female toilets. All these women fawning over them, it’s almost as though one of these is not like the others?! 👀
Either that or they are total fucking fantasists!
Trans-identified men in Edinburgh are fortunate enough to be welcome at the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, which was headed for a while by a trans-identified man who believed, and said publicly, that women who wanted a female-only service were bigots. That same rape centre admitted a male as a client because he called himself non-binary. The man was subsequently convicted for rape.
Beira’s Place was set up by me to provide women in Edinburgh and the Lothians with the female-only service they were being denied. Internal emails between ERRC staff were revealed during an unrelated court case, which showed them to be angry and dismayed that there was now an alternative service for women. One might have thought, reading those emails, that ERRC staff’s priority was the ideological conversion of rape survivors rather than the provision of a service that traumatised women required to feel safe after rape.
Beira’s Place has been exceptionally busy since it opened. We’ve taken on more staff and are currently looking for larger premises. We’ve helped women who’ve admitted that they didn’t want to use the alternative rape centre because of its very loud and public ‘trans women are women’ stance. We are also open to any and all trans-identified women who need support after rape.
In short, you’ll be relieved to hear that the trans-identified men for whom you feel such empathy and compassion aren’t losing out. It was biological women who were being shamed for their entirely legitimate desire for a male-free space. Apparently you’d have preferred that situation to continue, but I think you’ll find that most people, whether male or female, will see that as evidence of your cruelty, not mine.
@EmmaWadski44250 The polycule appear to be treating this like a contest to see who can make themselves look the most loathsome. I can only imagine what Tubby will say next 😬
Maybe this will be a learning experience within the TRA community. It’s not pleasant when the tactics you’ve supported or defended are turned against one of your own.
Attempts have been made to police our speech, pressure employers to dismiss us, involve the police over lawful beliefs, and publicly vilify us. Perhaps Herbert’s situation will prompt some reflection from them. I hope it does, although I’m not optimistic.
@MazCeee How does a man become ‘more of a woman’ than a woman? I see this often and wonder what their criteria is. Always gives me a laugh as it’s just such a stupid and meaningless thing to say.
Ladies: watch this video, feel your skin crawl, and remember that Nadia Whittome and 166 other MPs think this man should be allowed in the women's toilets
Me, me, us, me, us….. not a sorry in sight or even an acknowledgment of the hurt caused to family or loved ones of Ann.
I still don’t think they understand just how appalling Herbert was on that post. It has went mainstream to the point my work colleagues have talked about it.
I’m glad their past posts are biting them in the ass - they are very dangerous people, I’m just grateful they don’t have easy access to multiple firearms as I genuinely think they have potential to carry out some sort of attack, especially that rough looking ‘poppybear’ one.
@Beardandcamera He probably thinks he looks playful and quirky. In reality he just looks like a lanky constipated man who is making an absolute idiot of himself.
@WomenOScotland@aberdeenuni He was overjoyed at the thought of a murder victims last moments being filled with pain and fear. That is reprehensible. He is a repulsive person inside and out, I didn’t expect any apologies or shame from him! What a cunt!
The issuer of that vile statement is a man, as anyone with even 1% vision could tell you. Specifically, he’s a man who said he hoped she died handcuffed to a bed and screaming in agony.
