That “refusing to serve” thing…what does that remind me of…hmmmm…………….
No no no NO! Transactivism has exclusive rights to compare the exclusion of TiMs from women’s spaces to racist segregation of Black people! Be careful; you’re on a slippery slope, Ophelia. Next you’ll be claiming that things for trans folk aren’t just like Germany in 1933, and that there’s no Trans Genocide underway!
I recall, from hundreds of years ago while drinking underage with a friend in a pub in Donegal, the pub-owner striding out from behind the bar and kicking (literally) a traveller-woman out who had come in.
I was outside the pub in the beer garden (damn pub had a step to get in) so I didn’t see any of this. But the Scottish and Irish witches outside with me didn’t take it lying down. There was a lot of protest singing, mostly about penises, led by actual Julia Long, which I have to say I didn’t expect. There’s video circulating, I’ll post it when I’ve had chance to find it.
The attack on Tony was shocking. He’s a lovely and gentle man who attends loads of women’s events, all over the place, supporting quietly in the background and helping out. I hope the police acted quickly in getting hold of the CCTV from the pub.
It was an incredible couple of days in Belfast. I was mooching around at the back during the actual event, talking to the other naughty kids, and I didn’t hear a single word. I’m watching the video now.
I’m especially looking forward to Brandubh’s talk (the 14 year old who read out her poem). I was talking to Brandubh and he mother throughout the day and her story is a horrifying and important one. I’m going to put her in touch with Glinner to see if he wants to write about it on his substack (I’m quite sure he will). If not, you might have one hell of a candidate guest post coming up…
She’s an incredible young woman. This is what the future is supposed to be. I looked at her…. then I looked at the hundreds of manbabies lined up to stop her saying that. They were joyless, without passion or purpose, endlessly chanting tautologies. They couldn’t even be bothered to call me a “fucking nazi cripple” like they did at Newcastle. I tried this, but it fell on ironically deaf ears: https://youtu.be/KHbzSif78qQ. Then there’s Bran, shaming us all. But the gender people long ago abandoned shame. They’re not listening.
Bran’s mother has been involved in this gender nonsense even longer than we have and has done some seriously impressive things herself in Northern Ireland. Just quietly, with almost everyone against her and without complaint.
These are just two of the women who seriously impressed and uplifted me in Belfast. If you ever have the chance to go to a #LetWomenSpeak event, do. Absolutely do. Hang out at the back with the disreputable types and you will get to meet women like this.
