Please call these people what they are: anti-trans Nazis. Helping fascism to exterminate a tiny minority (this is the real agenda) - is not *helping women* it's genocide. See the Lemkin Institute's red flag genocide warning for trans folk in the UK.

Challenging misogyny is a battle that needs to be fought by everyone. I imagine many cis men rapists are feeling quite happy about the focus on trans women, as it means the spotlight has been shifted away from them.

Gender criticals and TERFs are servant s of the partriarchy. They police and impose inhumane femininity standards on all women and let cis male perpetrators of violence remain free.

If you did not have any words with the protesters and were not blocking the road, I think there is a valid discrimination complaint here. The idea that feeling "intimidated" with no basis can get the police to move anyone on is offensive. The police *can* legally move on any one wearing a face covering worn for the purpose of concealing identity or if they believe they may commit a crime/disrupt/attack but I don't think that is the case here. So sorry Lucy and please be in touch if you want any help escalating a complaint. Morgan P

It’s outrageous you were so forcibly removed. And I’m sorry you had to hear anti-trans statements from police officers working. I hope you were able to record them too? It’s not good enough.
