So, remember Holly Lawford Smith, who I spoke to a while ago with Katherine Deves? You don’t have to watch the whole thing, but do please just catch a few incidences of Holly speaking before moving on. Whichever bit you ended up watching, was there anything bigoted or hateful in anything she said? No, of course there wasn’t. There never is. And yet, this is what she’s been going through in Australia in the last few weeks. Nothing unfamiliar, I hasten to add. The toxic misogyny of this form of men’s rights activism knows no borders.
Thanks for this frightening update. I just sent her an email of gratitude, support, care, hugs and love. It makes me sick to my core this shit. I couldn't watch the videos. I hope Katherine Deves can get some cases sorted out against those brainwashed abusive horror heads!
"Supporters of a feminist academic who has spoken up about the impacts of the transgender movement were “intimidated” and “harassed” at a Melbourne University protest, according to women’s rights campaigner Katherine Deves.
University of Melbourne Associate Professor Dr Holly Lawford-Smith set up a website to collate the stories of girls and women who have been impacted by gender identity laws and policies, and has since become the subject of criticism.
The protest at Melbourne University saw a small group of supporters for Dr Lawford-Smith get “abused verbally” by a “number of the people at the protest”, according to Ms Deves.
“They’ve called for Dr Lawford-Smith to be removed from teaching a feminist course that she teaches,” she told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“She’s wholly qualified to teach that course however those who disagree with her think that she should be removed”.
“She’s also had some of these activists break into her office space … and put things in her pigeonhole and put trans flags and trans logos in her secure administrative place.”

"In March 2021, Reclaim the Night Perth was first invited to speak at the local March4Justice then deplatformed.
This video is a response to the slander being circulated about Reclaim the Night Perth by a March4Justice leader, an explanation of what has happened and a reflection on the significant implications for women’s rights organising more broadly."
Comment by K9:
"Glad to hear from you. Tho actually disappointed that you seem to be inclusive of male Trans identifying as women. 🤷🏽♀️ Pandering to Trans dogma is a slippery slope as this drama demonstrates. Transwomen are not women."
In the video, Liz Waterhouse of "Reclaim the Night Perth" explains that even though they are trans-inclusive they have been targeted by a transgender identified male who is an organiser with March for Justice and Admin of its Facebook Page.
My best guess is that there will be no let-up until this women's led organisation caves and allows itself to be led by men.
Reminds me of this - because the author does not really mean "TERFs", he means "women":
"Resisting TERF’s and Transforming Their Organizations"
What a sad sack the guy on the loud hailer is.
