Ohmygoddd......... These people are insufferable. I cannot deal with people who talk with that "Ummm acktshuallliiieeee...." tone of voice. (Unfortunately in this video, it's both sides.) Someone needs to step up and say "This is not the time or the place for your bullshit, get the fuck out." But none of the people in this video are capable of backing that sentence up, especially with that trans identified male who looks ready to get into "literal violence"-mode at any moment. This is not good. Women are being physically intimidated in their own spaces while simultaneously being accused of violence.

"If you don't stop using violent words against me, I'm going to beat you so peacefully you'll bleed!"

The transwoman who’s so clearly a dude complaining that they didn’t see him as a “real woman” made me laugh so hard I cried. The guy looks like he’s six-months away from deciding dreads are a good choice and going to play bongos at an Occupy protest. Literally no one would ever think he’s a real woman.

I suppose police not even started to investigate this crime?

This pisses me off.

Activism is not when mega corporations and goverment supports you and everyone is closing eyes on your vandalism, and you getting your upvotes and likes on twitter.

When during my activism times we went on a peaceful protest "let us live", police came and arrested us in a hour or so. Now those men vandalyzing, threatening or even hurting people, and police not even blinking, or even approving it.

This was so absurd that I had to check if it really happened. Of course it did. What was I expecting - people acting like they possess a brain cell? Apparently this was when they opened Vancouver Women's Library in February 2017.

IKR? I had high hopes that "GAG" was just a group of people trolling for giggles, I mean just look at the name? But no...... They were serious.... Wow.

It at least gives people a radfem reading list.

i realize this is juvenile and gives in to stereotypes of oversexualization of gay men but it's impossible for me to take a gay organization called "GAG" seriously.

I had to do a double take when I saw GAG was their acronym.
