#WPUK As we all know are pushing their rampant and virulent transphobia under a veneer of 'reasonable concerns' to the gullible and their transphobic sympathisers....
I would appreciate it if anyone could add examples...
I'm sticking to single pic threads, to make it easier to follow...you'll pick up the pattern..
An opinion on the trans community and why it's pointless trying to find middle ground with bigots, followed by their WPUK support...

I believe it is intentional WPUK cultivate this fixed position of it's members and supporters.

What do the "reporters" who profit off of the endless transphobic hate campaign in the press think of LGBT people? They are just "unbiased" observers reporting on hate groups like "#WPUK", right? Wrong, todays #TERFLEAKS are of Joani Walsh, @DailyMailUK and @thetimes "reporter"
How did a RW reporter for the Daily Heil get into her 2 minute hate against trans ppl every week? Radicalised by Janice Turner's hateful "reporting" at the Times. Into believing Alex Jones level conspiracies about "Big Pharma", she works with "radical feminists" and "lesbians"
Classic right wing scare tactics of your "daughters are in danger!", she slips into this new hate group seamlessly, despite being a racist right wing Tory who hates LGBT people in general (Don't worry, it's coming).

With the @LibDems again smearing women who dare to question and disagree with them, it is important to reiterate the origins of #WPUK. This group was founded by women of the Labour and Trade Union movement. It welcomes women of different political backgrounds at it's meetings
but it has a strong socialist origin because this is simply how the founders all knew each other. It was formed in the backdrop of two important anti-women events. The first was the no-platforming of Linda Bellos by the LBGT society at Peterhouse College Cambridge.
This is why the first #WPUK meeting was in Cambridge. So the @Libdems are pushing the idea that a 'white supremacist' group sprung up and kicked into action to support a black, jewish, lesbian trade unionist. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@brightonargus any ideas on why the people harassing attendees of a Brighton @Womans_Place_UK #WPUK meeting on women’s rights might have been flying the rainbow flag upside-down?
Credit to Clare Dimyon CBE for spotting that!

1/ I respect the right to protest at #wpuk last night. But feel sad that so much well-intentioned youthful energy goes into supporting well-funded, influential conservative political agenda which comes straight from elite (as was noted in meeting). It’s not remotely radical..
2/ to prop up sexist binaries by making them essential features of oneself. As we’re all non-binary, it’s not radical to say that only some special people are. It’s not radical to suppress the testimony of abuse survivors and detransitioner and lesbians and call them names. As I
3/ left the building last night, protestors were still going strong, chanting ‘Non-binary is valid’ repeatedly & enthusiastically. I caught the eye of a homeless, desperate-looking, partially dressed man sitting against the same building, 10 yards away. He looked confused. Me too
