Brawl between transgender activists and feminists leaves police searching for suspects

Police are searching for three suspects after a confrontation between transgender activists and radical feminists in September turned violent. A 60-year-old woman suffered facial bruises after being repeatedly hit and thrown to the ground in Hyde Park.

The Metropolitan Police are seeking a man, and two others, believed to be transgender, over the incident at Speaker’s Corner on September 13. The male is described as 6ft tall (186cm) with brown hair in a ponytail. Officers did not provide genders for the other two suspects, describing one as white, 5ft 7in, of a slim build and with brown chin-length hair, tipped blond. The other is described as being around 5ft 8in, also of slim build and with short blond hair.

A video of the event published on social media shows the alleged victim, Maria MacLachlan, filming transgender activists who had reportedly gathered to protest a talk titled ‘What is Gender? The Gender Recognition Act and Beyond’.

The trans activists are seen carrying signs featuring the acronym TERF – trans-exclusionary radical feminists – and heckling the attendees before the incident broke out.

The incident comes as tensions between certain feminist groups and trans groups, respectively, continue to rise. Trans-exclusionary radical feminists believe that trans women shouldn’t be afforded the same rights as those born female.(snip)

Earlier in October, feminist author and activist, Germain Greer – who has previously stated that “Just because you lop off your d**k and then wear a dress doesn’t make you a f***ing woman” – attacked a women’s college at Cambridge University for changing its rules to ensure that transgender women are welcome.

Greer has often spoken out against transgender women, stating they suffer from a “delusion” and are “some kind of ghastly parody”

Oh my goodness, I agree with Germaine Greer on something?

The search for suspects was complicated by their eunuch disguise.

Germain is very germane on this issue. Agreed, these mentally ill men are making a mockery of feminism.

If I correctly understand this, the men beat up the women.

Reminds me of the Michael Brown family feud.

Probably because the suspects didn't hang around long enough for them to tell the officers to pronouns to which they identified.

Surprised me too. Hadn’t heard of her in ages but maybe she gained some sense being out of the spotlight.

One more time! If a man has his original parts, he is NOT a transgender. He puts on makeup and a dress that makes him a transvestite.

Probably because they were afraid they would be sued if they didn't use the correct dialogue for the description.

Speaker’s Corner
= = = = = = = = =
SPEAKERS CORNER

Is that a corner named after Tris?

Sounds very ‘East European’ right up their with ‘Workers’, etc

Sounds like a Defense Attorneys dream

Could you describe the suspect?

Well HE was wearing
Atty OBJECTION...that is MISS Jones, a She
Well SHE was
Prosecutor: OBJECTION are you referring to that MAN sitting there?
Well IT was
ATTY & PROSECUTOR - OBJECTION ... the witness must show some respect.

etc etc etc

Where the witness will finally just stand up and stand down from the witness stand.....

I'm pretty sure LBG became LBGT at the insistence of straight liberals who took it upon themselves to lump them all together as one big happy family. The gay community was not really consulted on the matter. There's a lot of women who aren't happy with trannies being considered one of them, particularly since many male trannies aren't even gay and are nothing more than crossdressers.
