''It is completely unethical to have a campaign run by men encouraging women to risk themselves 'as safely as they can' 1/8 ''

''When I presented these concerns to these men, three men shouted me down, talked over me, mansplained at me, suggested I lack courage, suggested I was being silly, suggested I was being rude, that I must not understand gay history, blocked me.'' 2/8

''These men were quite happy to use my name and 'involvement' but they have not listened to a single word I said and have blocked several other women who raised the same concerns.'' 3/8

''They are going about this in a self-centred way. This has nothing to do with the needs and interests of women. It is from the outset about men's desires over women's needs and women have been shouted down to ensure that end.'' 4/8

''It is at its core a concept about trying to get women to change their boundaries around their own safety. There is a lot of talk of 'safety' but not ‘one’ measure in
place, no risk assessment because women's safety is not even an afterthought. 5/8''

''The moment I flagged this I was bullied and then blocked. Women should know their concerns are not being heard or incorporated at all. They keep explaining the day and what the day means. If it means all these other things why is it called ‘coming out day‘? 6/8''

''Jump off a cliff as safely as you can. Don't put yourself at risk on ‘jumping off a cliff day‘ we wouldn't want you to hurt yourself on ‘jumping off a cliff day‘ it's also about hanging off a cliff, leaning towards the cliff whilst safely not falling off, ‘7/8''

''I repeat this is about men's desires for more people to come out, and one man's desire to restore his own reputation, not women's needs and safety or out collective goals. 8/8''
