Breaking — A large group of Antifa and Trantifa militants have gathered outside the Seattle Public Library.

They are trying to shut down a group of women advocating for biological men to stay out of women's-only spaces 🧵

Antifa has armed security patrolling every corner with walkie talkies.

One woman entered the library in tears after Antifa had her surrounded, calling her a "TERF."

I am reporting for @TPostMillennial

The group of women are holding a panel ahead of a court ruling tomorrow in the Ninth Circuit.

Olympus Spa is appealing a judge's order demanding the Korean women’s-only spa allow biological men (trans women) with fully-intact pen*ses bathe naked with the women in hot tubs.

.@SeattlePD officers have arrived on scene. Police issued an order to disperse from the doors or face arrest.

Tension has increased.

@SeattlePD Breaking — Standoff between Seattle PD and Antifa.

Antifa and extremists started climbing the building.

@SeattlePD The group of Antifa have moved from the front entrance of the library down to the bottom entrance in 4th Ave.

@SeattlePD Antifa and other protesters have made their way back to the front of the building to intimidate the group before the panel wraps up.

SPD is discussing how to get event attendees out safely.

@SeattlePD Seattle PD and library security have safety removed the group from the building — I didn't film security tactics for obvious reasons.

This was tonight's event:

@SeattlePD The same group of women will be holding a press conference outside the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ahead of Olympus Spa's hearing at 10 am.

@SeattlePD I will be covering the appeal and press brief tomorrow for @TPostMillennial
