Why Won't Trans Activists LET WOMEN SPEAK?

grahamlinehan.substack.com

Standing For Women held its monthly Let Women Speak event at the Reformers’ Tree in Hyde Park on Sunday 26th February.

Just a group of women gathering to talk about the issues which concern and affect them. But trans activists, of course, are terrified of women’s voices. So, on Sunday, they invaded en masse, determined to disrupt the event and bully the attendees.

The usual rent-a-mob of mostly masked and mostly male trans activists descended on Hyde Park to silence and intimidate women who just wanted to talk.

Did you ever think we would be in a country where a gang of masked men would be allowed to surround women whilst shouting ‘OUR STREETS’ in their faces? These are the men who want in on women’s spaces. #LetWomenSpeak 🎥 @Aja02537920

The trans activists used their usual tactics of banging drums, chanting and literal screaming to prevent women from speaking.

They also used amplification - against the park’s regulations but ignored by the police - to drown out women’s voices.

The trans activists encircled the group of women, pressing in upon them using a tactic known as ‘kettling’.

Steward POV from #LetWomenSpeak Reformist tree today. This is just after the TRAs arrived. The steward team had initially formed a line far away from the speaking circle to stop women being shouted over. This is the TRAs pushing us backward towards the speaking circle.

In footage taken by Maria MacLachlan, a police officer can be heard telling her “Enough” as she tried to talk to trans activists about the women raped in prison. The police took no action against the thugs screaming abuse and pressing up against the circle of Standing for Women stewards.

The TRAfia have turned out en masse at #LetWomenSpeak, intimidatingly close but being kept at bay so far. They're carrying "Kill TERFs" signs and they're using amplification which is against park rules, the police are there but no action is being taken.

One of the trans activists allowed to get ‘intimidatingly close’ to the women by police was the notorious Sarah Jane Baker, a trans-identified male with a violent criminal past. Formerly known as Alan Baker, he was recently released from prison on licence with convictions for kidnapping, torture and attempted murder.

Baker has appeared on this site before and, only a couple of weeks ago, he tried to disrupt another feminist event at which he was recorded calling women ‘c*nts’.

As Posie speaks of not knowing how to get out. And we can see the intimidation from TRAs + being hemmed in. I can hear in the background 🎶 "Posie Parker's a facist". The absolute irony. KJK finishes "I never lose" Really hope everyone gets away safely 💜💜💜 #LetWomenSpeak

I was one of the stewards and there wasnt enough of us so other women and some men joined in holding the line - the TRA's were pathetic morons chanting the same old tired mantra's and completely unaware of who the real 'fascists' are. I looked them in the eyes and they could not hold eye contact which is telling of someone who knows they are in the wrong.

Read a book recently about incels, basically men who really detest women because they have no social skills to connect with women. So they build pure hatred against them. I think that’s what we’re seeing here and gender ideology is giving them a legitimate reason or excuse to act with this pure hatred only against women
