So LibDims are institutionally homophobic.

Hard not to draw that conclusion if they allow one of their representatives to behave like this.

This Evil just keeps piling up ,and the lies just keep growing !! Not heard of any transpeople being murdered recently but almost every day there are reports in the Daily newspapers of women being assaulted ,raped or murdered !! These transactivists can't show us the evidence to support their lies ,because it never happened !! Shame on them all and on the " enablers " (aka the government etc ) !!

The only "marginalized women" she seems to work for are the Men In Dresses.

Is April Preston an actual woman or one of the pretend ones? If she is an actual woman, how come she knows more dead or injured TIMs than dead or injured women? There are far more of the latter than the former, so she's either willfully blind, has no female friends, or is lying.

Sadly, she's an actual woman.

She is a traitor to her sex.

Christ, poor man! When will this madness end?

I thought that shouting at someone who is peacefully in a public place to frighten him and make him go away could constitute assault? The police certainly had fears for his safety.

I thought so too. A trans community police officer had an autistic teenager prosecuted for a hate crime for asking "Is that a man or a woman?" last year. But it's okay to bully a gay man & steal his property over a t-shirt, apparently.

I hadn't really seen this so clearly before, and that extremism is extremism, whether that's Right or Left or whatever name it's done in. But the Far Right must be stymied - either worried they've stolen their thunder or chuckling to themselves that the supposedly ultra liberals are acting in exactly the same way they do and doing their job for them - shutting down dissent, being intolerant, violent, threatening and harassing gay men in the street and here at Pride. I've watched AntiFa becoming more violent in the US from afar, naively thinking 'it's not like that here'. I'm fed up with the two main political parties in England frozen, pretending they can ignore this, and smaller parties seemingly captured by it.

I’ve watched protests in detail for a few years, both sides of the Atlantic. The “far right” in action is more fictional than this extreme left which is very active. “Far right” is used too often as a reason for Antifa and extremists (on the so called left) to exist, but usually “far right” just = people exercising their rights to opinion and political preference that the intolerant left can not abide. Antifa is the secret police, going after any group that opposes this new world agenda, and “far right” is everyone else.

So how does it benefit the old style Democrats or Liberals and Labour to go along with this? This surely will be about who is quickest to pivot politically and respond (like Trump did in front of everyone thinking he couldn't)? Most of the establishment seem to be pretending that 'be nice' and squashing 'a few' nasty women opposing this will be enough? Are they just hoping too many will be ambivalent, or lazy enough not to care, act or vote.

Meanwhile rates of domestic abuse still soar, women are still being murdered and rape convictions are at all time lows and that's just acceptably peachy.

April Preston has locked her account...what is it with woman like this? I still can't work it out.

Well, doing my very best to be objective, understanding & feminist about it, I'd say it's a lifetime of social and cultural conditioning which grooms April and women like her into valuing and prioritising males over other women, seeing other women as rivals not allies and she is just trying to survive in a patriarchal society that crushes women underfoot.

But, honestly, my sympathy and patience for women like her have all but disappeared as I get older! Sneery little handmaidens denigrating all the women who've fought so hard to secure the rights, spaces and privileges which they take for granted. They call us terfs and bigots and would cheerfully destroy everything we've achieved. 30+ years of feminist activism / campaigning under my belt but I really do wonder why the bloody hell I bothered!

This really gives me the rage. I wouldn't see *quite* so much red if they weren't always so insufferably smug and self-righteous as they abuse someone for being the 'wrong sort' of gay (the kind that believes in homosexuality and not homogenderality). The preening as they yell about giving women's rights and gay rights away because rich white men need everyone to play along so they can enjoy their boners.

Two years ago I was at my first Pride Parade in Sarajevo, Bosnia. It was their first ever Pride and there had been threats against it by local religious fanatics (Muslim and Orthodox) and we feared that if turn out was too low participants might get attacked, as had happened in Belgrade a few years earlier. I went there to support my gay and lesbian friends in town and, well, pretty much anyone else who believes that human rights mean you have the right to love anyone you want. Turns out, a lot of Sarajevans thought so, too, and there was probably around 4.000 participants in a town of 400.000 people, with people coming from Austria, such as me, and many from Serbia, Croatia, and even Germany. Like I said, it was my 1st pride ever. I don't particularly like huge events with a lot of people and in Austria things had never been perfect but they were going the right way, so there was never really any necessity for me to demonstrate my solidarity with gay and lesbian people back home by joining a, well, loud event with a lot people. Now it begins to look like I may have to start considering going to Pride events in the UK to help keep gay and lesbian people safe from assaults. This is insane.

Obv what happened is AWFUL beyond words. However, it will peak trans sooooo many gay men. Good always comes out of bad.

Hope so. Fascinated to see people like Owen Jones being quick to defend and justify the angry mob.

There's that bullshit "killing people" being parroted again. Such a weird thing that despite all the evidence to the contrary, they go with that to get sympathy. And depressingly it seems to work.

I asked her to name the TERFs who are killing people. Just one. I’m still waiting……

She’s a politician and she knows her untruths reach a low intelligence, high emotion audience. “Liberal” doesn’t mean honesty.

I was looking at Eggenland's blog and she had a list of tweets about what people have lost due to trans ideology. One of the very best, which I couldn't copy, was from a woman who said she had lost her belief that heterosexuals EVER accepted homosexuals. I totally agree with her. These people never altered their views which they were taught at home and in society that homosexuals are deviant perverts, they just masked up with their liberal "tolerance." And now the mask is gone and we see their true nasty selves. And to top it all off, now they can scream at terfs as well. April is not only repellent, she has no idea who actually murders trans-identified people.

Me too. Completely - and it's the sheer mind-numbing and boggling ignorance that April seems to take pride in. Utterly unaware and unfit to represent anyone and should be nowhere near politics. She does not represent me.

One of your best...

What a complete idiot this young woman is. Sadly, I expect she's been indoctrinated throughout her school years, and beyond, to the point where she can no longer see sense, no longer sees herself as a woman, thinks she is a non-man. The brainwashing is excellent, I'll give Transworld that, for now, so many younger women have no pride in being women, feel they must obey men, do what they are told, allow men to tell them what being a woman is, what feminism is.

It makes me want to weep.

The Lib Dems are now very sick....even accepting money from puberty blocking company.

Again, you could not make it up.

Oh..and LBC, even if a male HAS had surgery, in relation to being Trans, he is STILL a male and should still NEVER be allowed in to the single sex spaces of women and girls, for males are nearly always stronger than women, can still overpower us, many of these males HATING women, some seriously mentally unwell.

Most of all though, it's about RESPECT for women, for NO DECENT MALE, be he trans or not, would EVER seek to impose upon women and girls in such spaces, realising they have no right to, first and foremost, but also, never wanting to upset us or make us feel threatened. They just would NOT do it.

Only males who HATE women do this, who have no respect for us at all and who enjoy making us feel threatened and fearful.

As to PRIDE, cancel them all, every march, every festival, everything. It's now become Toxic, ruined by those with perverted, predatory, paedophilic minds, who also now appear to hate gay men and lesbians.

Shut them all down...for they have turned The Rainbow, black.

She is the epitome of why all Prides are nothing whatsoever to do with homosexuals.

Time to leave the straight "queer" virtue signallers to it all.

It's nothing more than a mass piss up for the stupid.

Pride used to mean something.

It's now a shitshow.

Owen Jones never stops wanging on about the time he was attacked for his views, but celebrating this? Hypocrite.

Apparently he's now saying the guy isn't really gay. This whole 'people are who they say they are' schtick only extends to people pre-approved by Lil OJ, I guess?
