This will be big Over the past 2 years women have organised to try to make it safe to be able to talk about the possible consequences of a legislative change, and the fact that there is a material reality to women's existencehttps://twitter.com/Womans_Place_UK/status/1205396465071403008 …

And by safe I mean, attendees had to get past shouting and violent protestors. Venues were cancelled Attendees & speakers faced being doxxed and having people contact their employers to have them sacked These were courageous conversations @fawcettsociety

These new groups have organised bigger & bigger meetings and published sharper & sharper analysis without help from the established women's sector, organisations & funders concerned with human rights or established civil society organisations (with a few honourable exceptions).

But the fact that it is unincorporated groups like @Womans_Place_UK @fairplaywomen @Transgendertrd @MakeMoreNoise2 @WNTTgra @let_woman that are holding these meetings makes them easy to smear as "hate groups" "bigots" "funded by the right wing" etc...(they are not)
