In the context of a badly run Government consultation into gender self-id, a policy which would have huge implications for women, women's voices were shut out by the establishment. Feminists were harassed and abused. The public had no idea what the government was planning.
As part of a national grass roots campaign, a small act of resistance took place. A tiny be-penised sticker, stuck to a statue on Crosby beach, stating a biological truth "Women Don't Have Penises." A short, common sense statement designed to get people to start asking questions

The motion is, to put it politely, a mish-mash. It includes wild allegations, conclusions about criminal offences & random moves to “encourage” more “gender neutral” loos. It also states as a fact that “transwomen are women” without attempting to define those words. 2/15
Liverpool ReSisters are accused of:
1. a hateful campaign
2. defacing public art works and buildings
3. stickers regarding Trans women and gender recognition
4. not recognising transwomen as women
5. by implication guilty of “hate crime” 3/15

if you ask for the definitions of words like woman, girl, female, man, boy, male
if you use transphobic dogwhistles like “sexually dimorphic,” “biological reality,” and “sex stereotypes”
It is apparently now a crime worthy of police investigation to state biological facts.
