Our best bet is to keep on exposing people to their actual behaviour. Make it the story everywhere, so the media can't ignore it. And the guy is absolutely right. They cannot and will not debate, the police support THEM over those they are preventing from speaking.
Naturally, they who are incapable of having the adult discussions with others that we need, and behave like actual zombiefied fascists while calling him a fascist. "I've been a Marxist all my life, mate." #SpeakersCorner #HumanRights #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #LetWomenSpeak
The guy, by the way, is called Dr. Heiko Khoo. He absolutely is a Marxist. I don't agree with him at all on anti-vaxxing (just so you know, as he may be a bit controversial for some) but for these children to claim he is a fascist is beyond absurd.
I absolutely do agree with him, however on free speech and public debate. We don't all have to agree, that's the POINT. Instead, we should be debating openly, making our arguments, publicly, getting them all out in the open. That is far, far healthier in society.
As he says, these children are incapable of even having that debate. They have no idea what he or any of the rest of us actually think, and seem to imagine that by screaming "fascist" at all of us that puts an end to things. Ridiculous and pathetic.
It's not sustainable in the long run, even if, as here, the police seem to be working on the assumption that the ONLY people whose fundamental human rights matter are these children who want to stop others speaking and prevent democratic discussion.
@SadiqKhan do you not think the police should be protecting the law and EVERYONE's human rights here or is it just some people's? How is this approach going to impact all citizen's basic freedoms and human rights in the long run? @SuellaBraverman @Keir_Starmer @YvetteCooperMP ?
Meanwhile... Why are the Met here PRIORITISING the "free speech" of children who are "protesting" lesbians' right to exist and have anything at all for themselves? I get they'd find this guy irritating, but it is VERY illuminating. This isn't equality.
I also particularly love that we SEE the actual lesbians ("fascists") they're "protesting"at the end. Completely normal, calm, adult, polite middle aged women. I think we can ALL see who the actual fascists with no arguments are here.

It strikes me how fucking clueless a lot of TRA academics (I use the term loosely) including women are about who the women who disagree with them are and what we actually believe. I just read a whole piece by a woman who proudly terf-blocks and thinks we're all evil and stupid
and parochial, and yet I didn't recognise the views of the women she was describing at all as anything like my own. They're not those of most of the "terfs" I know. She's sort of magicked up this evil witch-person that she's railing against.
I'm sure she imagines she's being really, really clever, but she's got a very narrow minded view of who she's actually dealing with and what their views and understanding is. So narrow minded - and she's a beautiful writer but - tbh, it just came across as a bit dim.

So. Open and frequent threats of punching (as we've seen now carried out in Auckland against elderly woman), boot-stomping, smashing women's teeth in for talking, multiple threats of rape and sexual assault
and constant abusive sexual references, multiple examples of "Kill terfs" slogans, threats of decapitation, now threats of acid attacks. This is #terrorism in the form of serious #VAWG and threatening femicide.
It is extremely notable that most of this is what violent misogynist and male supremacists have always done to women who speak out or in other ways "don't know their place".

Oh yeah. And to anyone who is still "both sidesing" this, STOP enabling and emboldening what is now nothing but violently misogynist anti-woman terrorism. Women protesting are NOT saying anything like what these violent men are saying quite openly,
and no, saying the word "NO" to men (or even calling literal men men)is not even remotely the equivalent of threatening to kill, punch, rape, stomp on, hold a knife to the throat of, shooting or decapitating. I do not care if you find someone pointing out reality upsetting.
Reality is not hate. Threatening to murder and rape people for saying no to you is more than bloody upsetting, it's terrorising people, yet women who are currently expected to put up with it if they don't comply with TRA terrorist demands.

I've probably posted my thread of images of transactivists openly calling for the murder, beating, & sexual assault of women about twenty or more times by now. They use words like "killing, stomping, punching, dead" frequently, & sexual stuff. Not ONCE have I heard a single TRA,
or any of their influential allies in government or the media, condemn the violent rhetoric. I've seen praise of what happened in Auckland though. I've seen "congratulations" defamations of any and all women involved and sentiments of "she/they deserved it."
I've also seen the several instances (not posted by feminist women, by male observers ) where they came across the actual behaviour of TRAs they saw and recorded how the police were clearly prioritising the activists and enabling them, failing to protect anyone else.

I think legal action should be taken against ALL of these men who are defaming women and inciting misogynistic hatred against them. The TRAs have for some time been OPENLY calling for women thus designated to be killed, raped, beaten, abused - even beheaded.
(And no a woman saying no to you or wanting to discuss her CURRENT LEGAL RIGHTS or question a sexist, bullshit ideology that the EVIDENCE shows is deeply flawed is not "genocide" or the equivalent to literal calls for killing, beating and rape so stop pretending it is.)
Any man, particularly one of influence, like, I don't know, singers, journalists, politicians, who is cheering this on or targeting particular women in this way, is helping to incite real world violence with their false and hateful claims. It needs to stop.

I don't have a problem at all with the concept of equality, diversity and inclusion. I'm a liberal leftie, we live in a widely diverse society, and I believe everyone in society has the right to be treated fairly and equally.
I DO have a massive problem with what we're CALLING "EDI" given that it's literally nothing of the sort. If you prioritise gender zealots' demands over literally everyone else in society, you are not promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.
You have created a sacred untouchable class of particularly insane fundamentalist religious zealots, who expect to be pandered to at ALL times, cannot be questioned by anyone, and whose demands supersede and stamp on literally everyone else's
