Regarding the chants of Say Her Name at yesterday's vigil-we were unaware of the full social context of that phrase as a chant or hashtag for Black women victims of police brutality. We have listened and will no longer be using this as a chant, and encourage others to do the same.

You don't debate fascists, you kick their platforms out from underneath them and let them rot in the dirt - never letting them claw their way back to the public eye again. 🧵.

Transgender Action Block is calling a demonstration to protest against the LGB Alliance. They do not represent the views of our united community, and are a dangerous hate group aligned with fascist and far-right causes.

Replacing a chant is not enough - white and other nonblack trans people need to show up, be out on the street in solidarity with our Black siblings, trans and cis, when they need our support.

Rest in Peace Brianna Ghey. Britain won’t accept that this was a hate crime, that she was killed in a culture of transphobia that devalued her existence, that she faced bullying and harassment the police deliberately ignored and let happen.

Want to know why trans people are protesting Kellie-Jay Keen (aka Posie Parker)? She has called for the sterilisation of trans people, ranted about Telford and grooming gangs while Tommy Robinson fans post about his demo in her chat. 1/2.#bristolagainsthate.

In October 2019 someone sharing news about her anti-trans billboard tried to burn a trans woman out of her own house. TERF rhetoric is genocidal, eugenicist, homophobic and racist. In a word, it's Fascist. Shout out to researchers like @Chican3ry and @trans_safety for their work.

Cops at drag queen story hour have helpfully cleared a path for parents between antifascists and fascists. This means they want parents and their children to come into contact with fascists. This is what both sides look like.

The so-called 'ninjas' at the counter-demo in Manc were utilising a tactic known as a 'black bloc'. The benefit of which is being completely anonymous. This is particularly handy when countering police surveillance or doxxing from bad actors (something TERFs love to do)

This conference was not shut down completely but as they keep trying to rear their heads they'll find their rhetoric pushed further and further away from ever being heard again. Stand against fascists and all oppressors. Break the fuckers' platforms entirely.

Britain won’t accept that knife violence exists outside of racialised inner cities, that it’s statistically and historically as common in white British working class communities. Knife violence in a predominantly white transphobic community does not align with British media.

Some terfs tried briefly to physically confront protesters, filming us as they shoulder checked us and used bikes to try and force us back, attempting to bait us into violence which they could show off as us attacking first (a very common strategy of theirs).

They could do fuck all as we ran them out of multiple workshop rooms and made ourselves heard throughout the building. We danced, shared food, songs, art, impromptu speeches, and waved our flags high in an in an incredible display of community and care.
