🧵It's all the speeches this lot didn't want you to hear from the @StandingforXX #LetWomenSpeak rally yesterday at #SpeakersCorner Hyde Park! Huge thanks to @roseveniceallan and @ThePosieParker who was much missed.

Thread will grow as I get through them! Subtitles coming later!
First up we had @RachelK01840150 with this barnstorming speech about the unpopularity of women who made historic gains for women's rights! 🔥

Charlotte Edwards, @rafaellacjthis, gave this short address against the medicalisation of gender non conformity.👏👏

I was with @2022arrested when she was arrested for the heinous crime of asking a man to leave the female toilets in a bar. In a classic case of guilt by association the 3 of us with her were also kicked out. The bouncer took the drinks we just paid for and spilled them on us.
I asked the female staff member what happened. She said B asked a tw to leave the female toilets. I asked what's a tw. She called me transphobic. I asked her what transphobic means. She said something like disrespect of people who have transitioned. I asked what transition means.
She called me transphobic. Her and the bouncers demanded we leave. After some back and forth with them, I exited the bar while gleefully ripping the piss out of the burley bouncer who seemed to enjoy his authority. He told me he didn't know if his mother was a man or a woman 😂
