That walker can sure move fast when it’s aimed at women. This is who Nicola Sturgeon wants in women’s spaces.

And no wonder! He’s a fresh SNP member.

Here he is subtly suggesting that Liz Truss be put to death

Here he is on the way to the protest, suggesting that the women there “won’t know what’s coming to them”.

The TRA who charged a woman and screamed “witch” in her face recorded themselves walking to the protest, saying, “We have to put the TERFs in their place”, and “they won't know what’s coming to them”, referring to women as “evil” and “demonic”. @policescotland #WomenWontWheesht

A friend said this of it.

“Trans activism is a massive experiment in what happens when you accommodate serious mental issues as perfectly within societal norms. Trans activism can justify - or at least mitigate - behaviour like screaming “Witch” in a woman’s face because they’ve essentially adopted a social model of trans rights: the behaviour exhibited by any given trans person is communication in service of being listened to, and fellow trans activists will see the fact that it’s not them being screamed at as supporting the idea that if only society wasn’t so transphobic, distressed people wouldn’t find themselves forced to communicate in this way. And that is what provides a safe space for male people to be publicly abusive to women.”

UPDATE: Terrible news for fans of angry screaming.

The mentally unwell man in that clip has the same illness - it’s called misogyny- as Robin Ince et al, albeit in more florid form, and that’s why he’ll never get the mental health care he so obviously needs. We’ve normalised misogyny to the point where the ‘mainstream’ version is so widespread that the more overt and frightening forms are allowed to flourish in plain sight 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is disturbing and more disturbing is it is being enabled and encouraged instead of treated.
