We must make sure that the women that spoke aren't lost in this. https://youtu.be/kR0XtWqOY0E

I asked this on the other thread too, but would you mind telling us about your experiences at the protest?

BLM was holding their own protest, correct? So did the BLM protestors just see the GC speakers and stroll over to yell at them? Was it all the BLM protestors, or just a few? Did they threaten violence?

It's so incredibly sad that BLM protestors can't see that racism parallels sexism in that neither black men nor women can escape their oppression by changing their appearance, whereas all TIMs have to do is dress like a man and they're home free.

Instead, TIMs want women to be human shields for their clothing options.

Black British woman here.

I can guarantee the protesters harassing those women were white because a lot of the black community, particularly black feminist women, aren't with the trans stuff.

BLM has been hijacked by extreme leftists and most of these vocal actovitists only support it simply because it's a left wing ideology and not because of legitimate care. These people view being black as a secondary trait rather than a primary one and as such view us in a very one dimensional way, seeing our blackness as the only component of our identity and seemingly forgetting that black people can face other forms of discrimination as well as racism, such as sexism, homophobia, ableism ect. Black people are just people and a lot of people seem to forget that we all have differing viewpoints.

It's silly to judge a whole movement off of the actions of a few unhinged individuals and l wouldn't view their actions as typical of the movement. As a black gender critical woman it irritates me to have this trans stuff overshadowing the movement especially when it's something I completely don't agree with.

They weren't white. Watch the video.

This isn't a just a case of the evil TRA taking over good movements. The woke, grievanced way of thinking is itself unhealthy and destructive.

We need to be careful we don't feed that mindset too much ourselves in GC and fall into the same trap.

Touché, I should've watched the video, I'm honestly quite surprised and believe me when I say that their feelings lean towards the minority within the black community.

I think they're mistakenly affiliating being a radfem with being right leaning as that's how they make it out to be on social media when it doesn't particularly have any relation to your political views. I've seen racist radfems but there are plenty of Liberal ones too. At the end of the day those women definitely do not represent me.

If course they don't represent you, because black women aren't all one mass who think the same.

This shouldn't need saying but unfortunately that's the right-on way to judge people now.

I think that it's important to remember that gender ideology is being taught in schools in the UK, US, Canada and other countries.

So kids of all backgrounds are being indoctrinated from a very young and impressionable age into "Trans women are women" and it's become almost a religion at this point.

So I cut these young women some slack. They think they're on the side of right. They're just annoying. And YOUNG.

I was just thinking that I'm going to save this video for the next time I get told that only stupid white women fall for this crap and black women don't. So much for that fairy tale...

When I watch this it seems to me that the average young black "SJW" is not exactly a lot different than the average white one. (I have to admit I had to chuckle at the fact they even had one with blue hair in this instance.)

There's a US-based website primarily for black women called LIPSTICK ALLEY, and many of the women there pull no punches at calling out all sorts of political BS - Left, Right, Center. There's a contingent on LSA that will call out the idiocy of transgender activism wherever they see it. The women on LSA can be really funny.

In the US, transgender activists have managed to insert gender ideology into not just movements like BLM, but corporations, the media, academia - trans activists started laying the groundwork in the 1990s, while many women were sleeping.

At the London protest, some of the protesters were black, but young, so brainwashed and you know, YOUNG. I'll find the video.
