Manchester Trans Rise Up @manc_up Feb 15, 2023

Many thanks to the over 2000 people who came to gather with us to mark Brianna Ghey's passing and to pay their respects.

Nothing can make up for her loss but this outpouring of feeling shows that we will not let her memory fade quietly.

Candles, a trans pride flag and flowers left behind to honour Brianna's memory at the Beacon of Hope in Sackville Gardens.

Join us this Saturday! Let's show WRN that bigotry isn't welcome in the People's History Museum or in Manchester ✊🏳️‍⚧️

Callout post that reads:

Transphobes out of Manchester.

Anti-trans zealots are once again forcing the People's History Museum to host one of their meetings under threat of legal action. Join us in showing that transphobia isn't welcome in Manchester!

Bring your friends. Wear a mask. Don't talk to the police.

12:30pm, Saturday 13th April.

Text reads:

"Anti-trans rights group and prolific co-opters of feminist buzzwords Women's Rights Network are forcing the People's History Museum to host a meeting for their group this Saturday. They intend to discuss how best to lobby the government into regressing on legal protections for trans people. This comes after Sex Matters held a meeting at PHM last September and were met with a massive crowd of locals protesting their presence. We will not allow conservative bigots to continue co-opting progressive spaces in order to legitimise their reactionary views.
Join us in saying no transphobia in Manchester!

Accessibility details are available on the museum's website. Bring along snacks, water, and weather appropriate clothing. Face masks are highly encouraged both for COVID safety and to protect yourself from doxing and harassment. Arrive and leave in groups and look out for one another.

We do not welcome the SWP or any of their fronts at this event."

Text reads:

"Who are WRN?

Women's Rights Network are an anti-trans campaign group. Despite billing themselves as a women's rights group, WRN do not campaign on any feminist issues - instead electing to spend all of their time obsessively frothing at the mouth over the existence of trans people.
Some of their recent activities include:
• Campaigning to introduce sex segregation to non-competitive community exercise event ParkRun
• Harassing feminist speakers at Manchester's Walk for Women for being supportive of trans rights
• Endorsing far-right politicians such as Liz Truss and Miriam Cates"

Image at the bottom shows a photograph of Women's Rights Network members at a march. They are a group of white, middle class, mostly older women wearing sashes in the suffragette colours. Every single one of them looks like they would call you a slur you'd never even heard of. One of them has an 'Adult Human Female' sign and another is holding what looks like a shrine to JK Rowling?

Liverpool counterdemo against fascist and anti-trans zealot Posie Parker!

Sunday 8th October at 12:30pm
Old Wall Arch, Albert Dock, L3 4AS

READ SAFETY INFO PROVIDED

Trans flag with raised fist and text over the top. Reads: "Posie Parker counter demo. 12:30pm Sunday 8th October. Old Wall Arch, Albert Dock, L3 4AS. Please read all of the safety info before coming. We keep each other safe."

Text continues:

Getting there. Travel in groups, don't come alone. If you need someone to go with you can contact any of the organisers.

Terfs will be travelling into the city - there will likely be a lot of them around Lime Street and L1 Coach Station.

The location is on a major main road and there are a lot of cobbles and uneven paving in the area so please be careful.

Bring snacks and plenty of water - it's predicted to be a warm day.

At the demo.

Wear a facemask - covid cases are high right now and this also protects from doxxing.

Risk of arrest is much higher for our Black, POC and trans comrades, protect those around you.

We will have trained first aiders in hi vis, alert them if anyone around you needs them.

We will be handing out bust cards which contain info on your rights and what to do if you are arrested.

Afterwards.

Leave in groups. Even if you get separated from the group you came with it is not safe to leave alone.

Have a plan for leaving and do not linger afterwards - town will be crawling with terfs and bizzies.

If you post any images on social media please blur faces to prevent doxxing.

You can flag any issues or concerns to any of the organisers via social media.

The only sex that matters is the one I'm having with your dad
