Statement on Trans Pride Scotland: Woman’s Place UK are relieved to see that Peyton Rose has withdrawn from Trans Pride Scotland and that the police are investigating the violent threat made to women.
We condemn the attempt by Trans Pride Scotland to blame us, and others campaigning for women’s legal rights, for the violent threat made by Peyton Rose against us.
This falls into the very common and dangerous narrative of blaming female victims for the violence perpetrated against them and excusing the behaviour of the perpetrator instead of challenging and condemning it.
WPUK is not campaigning against trans rights.
We are campaigning for women’s rights.
We are campaigning for women’s rights.
We have always argued for respectful dialogue and proper consultation so that the rights of everyone can be upheld. The threat of violence is an attempt to stop this discussion and to silence women.
We won’t tolerate such attempts to intimidate us and we call on Trans Pride Scotland to withdraw their statement.
Statement also here facebook.com/49429562759129… and will be on our website tonight. Do share.
