From the Telegraph:
Women’s rights campaigners have written to the Prime Minister to ask him to take action against an “escalating campaign of violence and intimidation” by trans rights activists.
The letter, signed by more than 10,000 people, said women were increasingly being threatened with “social ostracism” simply for arguing that they have a right to single-sex spaces.
They called on Rishi Sunak to commission a review of the impact of “extreme trans activism” on women’s rights.
And they urged the Government to ensure the police properly protect gender-critical activists, with one campaigner saying she wanted action before a woman was killed....
The letter, organised by the group Sex Matters, was signed by philosophy professor Kathleen Stock, writer Graham Linehan, actor James Dreyfus, swimmer Sharron Davies, broadcaster Jenni Murray and women’s rights campaigner Nimco Ali.
It said: “We ask you to take urgent action to halt an escalating campaign of violence and intimidation against women in the name of ‘trans rights’.
“Women are being threatened with social ostracism, loss of livelihood and physical violence; shouted down and intimidated at public events; and even subjected to physical violence – all for insisting on their freedom of belief and freedom of expression, and calling for existing sex-based legal protections to be upheld.
“We urge your government to issue a call for evidence and to commission a rapid review on the impact of extreme trans activism on women’s rights, as it has done with other emerging threats to civil liberties and the democratic order.
“This will enable you to identify the specific actions that must be taken by the police, Crown Prosecution Service, courts and prisons to ensure that women’s rights are upheld.”
Last week, two senior members of Sex Matters – Maya Forstater and Helen Joyce – held a meeting at the People’s History Museum in Manchester.
But as they left they were subject to violence and abuse by a trans activist crowd.
In August, a violent criminal was acquitted on charges of inciting violence against women, despite video evidence.
The phrase used was, "If you see a Terf, punch them in the fucking face”. The judge decided it was meant to be a joke. Ha ha.
It's a violent men's movement - misogynistic and homophobic - which has had astonishing success in disguising itself as progressive.
