Disruption is not debate.
Via Daily Caller:
On Wednesday evening, a group of mothers in London drew protest from transgender activists when they held an event on women speaking about what it means to be a woman. During the event, which was disrupted, a transgender activist assaulted a 60-year-old woman.
British woman Maria MacLachlan was attacked by a male transgender activist who disrupted the event while she was videotaping a protest at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park. The protesters opposed a scheduled forum on gender and the 2004 Gender Recognition Act.
The forum was initially canceled according to the event’s host, New Cross Learning, due to safety reasons, but it relocated to Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park.
Threats by trans activist Tara Flik Wood were posted on Facebook, with further calls urging transgender activists to attend and disrupt the event. A statement by “No TERFS on our Turf” reads:
“Show up for our Trans sisters and disrupt the debate. Bring posters, bring guitars, bring drums, bring your Vuvuzela (if you have one) and your voices, and MAKE SOME NOISE TO DROWN OUT THESE NASTY TERFS BC TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN AND THAT IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.”
Trans activists are opposed to women they consider to be “TERFs,” or “trans-exclusionary radical feminists,” a term they use to describe women who adhere to the biological and scientific definitions of sex and gender.
