Melissa Symes @GFEDBA98 is a solicitor working for Norfolk County Council. Today Melissa tweeted: "What amazes me about the transphobic lot, is that it’s taken them this long to realise the extent to which we have been among them, watching, noting." I don't know how comfortable Norfolk council tax payers would feel about that level of creepiness.

This is the sort of crap the papers should be reporting.

Holy shit. I wasn’t expecting this level of assholery. I can’t believe the sort of people we’re dealing with.

Yay, I made their list. Just checked it. On another note, thank You for involving the authorities. Hoping matters will settle down for all very soon. Well we always knew that we all are gonna run some risks , atleast the morons revealed their true colours and nature of invading the spaces where they are unwelcome. Wish they had some manners knocked in them. Would have saved Women and Supporters from all the efforts to keep them out of our spaces. Indecent fellas.

It’s a bit disappointing that the Slack platform enables details to be harvested like that - is Slack doing anything to stop it happening again? We wouldn’t be the only group where people would be annoyed that private information was seemingly readily available to creepy types.

And finally once again Graham, please don't feel bad about any of this. You didn't do this, I do not blame you. Decent people find it hard to believe the lengths violent men will go to to achieve their aims. If anything, it goes to show how important it is that we continue to support one another. Wishing the Glinner Gang a peaceful, safe and prosperous 2021.

It says it all really, that a TRA wants to access our details as if we’re secretly engaging in fetish porn ....

Someone calling themselves @TantDePieds (Bolshie Transgendererer) is up to no good, trying to match names to real people, connecting images, speculating about how to get them fired and dripping with totally not fake concern.

Someone to watch out for.

Hey guys, I have mentioned this to you all before, but please consider using a VPN such a Mullvad at all times and an encrypted email such as protonmail. Mullvad costs me 5 Aus dollars a month, protonmail is free. All they appear to have of me, judging by the information below is this profile picture, which I got from a free image site, and my nickname on here.

It's a sad reminder that there are few lengths violent, enraged misogynists will go to to try to beat, batter and terrorise women into silence.

Also, if you are ever uploading photos, even screenshots or anything that might have your device's information embedded in it, it's a good idea to strip the information from them first.

On my laptop this works by right clicking on the picture then going to properties/details/remove properties and personal information/create a copy with all possible properties removed/ok.

Stay safe. The more they push to terrorise us into silence, the harder we push back to allow decent human beings a voice.

I'm on the list! With a link to my Twitter. Which I rarely post on. I don't have much 'skin' in the game other than having been peak-transed by the Glinner and JK Rowling hoohah. This is basically 21st Century McCarthyism. Oops I mean McCxrthyism

I'm saddened but not remotely surprised. They are are vicious people. There's a few folk harrassing MH, he is quite understandably pissed off.

Someone calling themselves Sprout 2020 is in the thick of it.

Another thought, I have just deleted my Paypal account, as I have made payments to Substack from it, and it has my home address, mobile and so on, Paypal insisting on such info. I think Paypal are reasonably safe and that's why I prefer to use it rather than giving my credit card details, but it is easy enough to set up another Paypal account without a history linking it to Substack payments.
