A number of trans activists were seen holding violent and threatening signs at yesterday’s protest against the Supreme Court ruling on how a woman is defined in the Equality Act 2010, as demonstrators defaced seven statues in Parliament Square. The Mail has more.
While most held up signs fighting for trans rights, some activists were seen threatening violence with disturbing images of stabbed and hanged TERFs.
One sign at the protest in London’s Parliament Square showed an illustration of a hangman alongside the slogan “The only good TERF is a [hanged] TERF.”
Meanwhile, another sign showed an image of a man with a bloodied knife stuck in his eye, alongside the caption: “Are you a… transphobe? Why not try a… D.I.Y. LOBOTOMY.”
A third graphic sign read: “Trans women are women. Trans men are men. If you don’t like that, go s*** somewhere else.” Examples on the sign of where to do that included “on a pile of Harry Potter books” or “on the head of another TERF”.
The ruling has caused much controversy among various groups, with transgender activists left furious.
Thousands of outraged campaigners took to the streets of London yesterday to protest – waving flags and chanting throughout the afternoon.
Protestors targeted a number of statues in the capital. Notably, a statue of the suffragette Millicent Fawcett was defaced with a banner reading “F** rights”.
The Metropolitan Police said they were investigating the incidents as criminal damage after the statues were daubed with graffiti. MailOnline has contacted the force for an update.
Activists demanded “trans liberation” and “trans rights now”, with some waving flags and holding banners.
The Metropolitan Police today launched an appeal for information after seven statues were defaced during the day’s protest.
The statues of Jan Christian Smuts, Nelson Mandela, Sir Robert Peel, Benjamin Disraeli, Millicent Fawcett, Earl of Derby and Viscount Palmerston were all defaced.

I wouldn’t let them get you too riled up that is what they want. Obviously you have to deal with them if they become a threat.
They’re not exactly helping to disprove the idea that most trans people are basically people with quite serious mental issues.
I wonder how many of the people on the march were trans and how many were just jumping on the latest woke virtue signalling bandwagon.
So, mostly peaceful then.
The problem is, most people seem to think it’s acceptable to wish death on other people for the “right” cause, with the “right” cause being either climate change, equality/racism, LGBTQ+ and of course, back in the day, the Covid jabs.
And yet purging the world of the Far Left would be of great benefit to the majority.
I wonder if the authorities will go and knock on the doors of those protestors advocating violence on posters to arrest them, then deny them bail and throw the legal book at them? I won’t hold my breath.
Early motrning raids with several police vehicles and the media pre-arranged.
Nope!
Well I read somewhere that the Labour government are horrified at the ruling and are meeting at some point to soften the verdict. Another of their nearest and dearest groups have been exposed, just like labour’s other gangs of misfits of very dubious moral and cultural values. Next I suspect they will mobilise their brown shirts, Hate not Hope and Antifa, who fit right in with the nature of these people.
I doubt it. Two-Tier has gone to ground and not given them any instructions.
Maybe one good thing to come out of this is that men and women will start to appreciate each other more.
I’m curious. If sexual Identity is so fluid in humans why don’t animals, the birds and the bees chop and change? Or maybe they do and we just don’t know about it.
some fish do just that! But we are not fish and do not!
Animals have been brainwashed into believing there’s 50+ different genders and they might have been born into the wrong body.
According to the more hardcore trans-delusionists, not only humans don’t have sexes but actually, nothing on this planet has. I remember a story about a transgender tree¹ which was referenced here a while ago.
¹ Self-identifies as lumberjack?
Ah, it’s because humanity has rapidly evolved in that respect since 1973, when the idea of “assigned gender” was just coming into my social psychology course as a radical new idea. No doubt the rest of the animal kingdom will catch up once they read John Money and Co.
Interestingly, homosexuality is a documented natural phenomenon. Many non-human animals have been shown to mate with the same sex. However trans-sexuality is a uniquely human arbitrary construct that is mirrored nowhere in the natural world. Furthermore, in contrast to homosexuality, trans is purely an affectation of the mind invented very recently by activists who deny biological reality. Males can have female traits and vice versa. But a male is still a male.
I am a transphobe. I admit it. Have been one for the last 10 years or so. Given the number of “trans” women that literally hide behind their skirts to conduct unspeakable crimes against the most important minority, children.
Look at yourself and compare yourself to Brut 33 or Blue Stratos or the Milktray Man. Look at what they have turned you into. Completely ineffectual as a human being and a complete disaster as a man. That is what they have bequeathed you.
I confess that Milk Tray Man (or even Henery Cooper championing cosmetics for boys) was never my male role model. John Glenn or Spitfire pilots were more my thing. But I take your point.
I wonder how many TTK will send to prison. Let me guess. None.
She makes a good point, and the hostile mobs with their threatening behaviour and hateful signage provide supporting evidence. These aggressive dementors and unhinged space invaders are not anti-establishment, they’re anti-women. But I think the awake among us have known this for some time. Therefore, the fact there were many women there supporting this blatant misogyny just boggles my mind, personally. I find these traitorous cowbags absolutely repugnant and only hope to god they aren’t mothers of daughters;
”The establishment is going to war against women
Usually a street protest targets the establishment. But this crowd *is* the establishment. UK trans activists and the government have been on the same side on the sex-erasure trip for a decade or more (whether left or right).
The aggressive misogynists on the streets yesterday were performing a Potemkin protest. Their real target isn’t “the man”.
It’s women.
These groups, and the young, cause-hungry party crowd that trails them, get their money and their legitimacy from programmes derived from official UK government policy. Any failure to achieve their demands is not the result of the government getting in their way. The government is more than willing to give trans activists everything they want because what they want lines up with their own programmes.
Yesterday was a protest against those of us who won’t submit to male demands, which are implicitly (never explicitly!) embedded in official UK LGBTQ and gender policies. Part of enforcing those policies includes supporting, in various ways, mobs who will shout down anyone who doesn’t agree with the government programme.
Yesterday, the establishment cos-played as the anti-establishment on the streets of London. That wouldn’t have been clear to anyone who hasn’t been following this story closely, because they have all the visual trappings of a popular movement.
But they’re a government-backed rent-a-mob who are angry that a small group of Scottish women got in the way of carrying out official government policy.
The judiciary can’t be blamed for being biased: they’re just confirming what we all knew to the true. There’s no point protesting them. It’s those haggy Scottish bitches who drew attention to the core contradiction in a government-driven, government-funded long-term project to delegitimise sex as an important category for the safe and fair organisation of public life. It is women who have fucked up the entire upper-class establishment project to make UK women submit to male entitlement.
The hate preachers in central
London yesterday were directing their rage at ordinary women and girls. Not the state.
If the UK government doesn’t shut these people down by cutting off their financial and narcissistic supply, we can safely confirm this is an official war on women.”

Since the activists are men and women (some, of course, pretending to be the opposite), and those calling for sanity are men and women, I don’t think couching the problem in terms of male v female provides understanding, except for the possibly different psychologies of the sexes in hating “the way God planned it.”
I think a better heuristic is to view the conflict as between those who hate the human race, and those who love, or at least accept, it as it is.
This doesn’t look like a woman to me.
If the law was changed to recognise ‘special’ rights for ‘special’ people then I expect the Activists would riot in celebration.
Who started all this Trans Craziness in the first place, I wonder?
It seems a very recent, violent thing to me.
And yet, I remember Tory PM David Cameron making Sodomite Marriage a priority, and Tory PM Teresa May making Teaching Sex & Sodomy to Schoolchildren a priority, and then there was Tony & Cherie Blair promoting similar:
Tony Blair has done more for LGBT rights than any UK politician. Whatever your politics, he’s a gay icon | The Independent | The Independent
Tony Blair and wife Cherie confronted by near-naked men after accidentally walking into LGBT Awards | The Sun
Tony Blair: ‘Gay rights is a significant part of my legacy’ | PinkNews
‘I would vote differently now’: Six prime ministers on how progress on LGBT issues was made John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Teresa May, Boris Johnson
Trace back to Simone de Beauvoir’s brand of feminism, denying any fundamental distinction between the sexes, via John Money’s tragic experiment (n=1) theorising that gender-identity is entirely assigned at birth, to a host of sociologists and other academics running with that notion as gospel (despite the suicide of Money’s only experimental subject).
Add some Postmodernist queer-theory from Foucault, some New Age mystical woo about having a gendered soul in the wrong body, and a lot of left wing activists eager to overturn God as Creator.
After that, it’s just a question of owning the organs of propaganda, so that a majority begins to think that insanity and child abuse is compassionate.
Wow— thanks for that interesting info!
More detail in my e-book here, page 117ff.
Thanks. Has been an interesting read so far (I started with the homosexuality section as it seemed to be required for context).
Time for large fines and prison sentences, aka what happened in Southport. The Police can surely track down most of those doing damage. They have managed this at Southport. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next but we can guess it will be more two tier policing.
Ah – transphobes may have the law on their side, but clearly their opponents occupy the intellectual high ground…
This is not protest but intimidation. It is supposed to give the impression that the transers are an “unstoppable juggernaut” who’ll – some day – torture and kill all people who didn’t buy into their weird religion. It’s worth remembering here that a guy called Sam Melia has been in jail for ten months for “hate crimes” because of stickers referring to illegal immigrants as invasion force. But thousands of people openly calling for violence against women and children running around in London probably get police protection from Oh dear Keir as they wouldn’t otherwise dare to make such a nuisance of themselves (guess of mine — loudmouths rarely take chances with their own security).
That’s Labour’s intellectual playground for you — kill women who dare to claim they aren’t men and torture and mutilate children to prevent them from ever turning into either men or women. Or ‘trans rights’ in a nutshell.
Presumably when caught and tried they too will be handed down 31 months with no early release?
You appear to be making the mistake of thinking that Justice is Blind in the UK and applied equally.
But you obviously know that.
Violence and threatening violence TENDS to be more common in males than females (not exclusively, of course).
You’d think the violent Trans-women would be a little more “careful” with demonstrating their behavioural instincts, wouldn’t you.
No need to tread on egg shells ( although they do appear to be like reinforced steel compared to the many fragile egos in this place ), just take a leaf out of my book and have no fear in stating the bleeding obvious. Facts don’t give a f*ck about feelings;
”Men commit more crime than women in almost all categories of crime. As a general rule men commit a higher proportion of more serious crimes. For example:
https://revisesociology.com/2021/06/13/gender-and-crime-statistics/
I wonder how many of these were arrested and will be sent to jail for over 2 years and disallowed from family visits?
My guess is none. If there are arrests they will be released with a “don’t be quite as naughty again” telling off. If they are in the absolute rarest of chances sent to jail it will be for a month or so, and even though they have actively threatened violence against women they will be allowed out without any restrictions.
2 tier Kier and his party strike again.
{gasp!}
Not Nelson Mandela’s?
“The Metropolitan Police today launched an appeal for information after seven statues were defaced during the day’s protest.”
So, just how many were arrested for criminal damage and more displaying signs threatening violence to their opponents?
Oh, I forgot. These are left wing demonstrators, not right wing fascists and two-tier justice is alive and well.
Under any other circumstances. this would require a home visit from 8 armed police officers under suspicion of inciting violence/hate speech and so on. But if course, because it’s about trans rights, it’s fine.
The day after the Supreme Court ruling a Facebook friend posted something similarly horrible; a meme with “transphobic gays” in a wheelchair being tipped over a cliff into the sea to drown. And she thinks she’s on the kind, accepting, inclusive side…
At what point can a person be said to have “crossed over” from male to female? After gender-reassignment surgery and hormone replacement therapy? After the hypothetical full complement of anatomical changes necessary to become biologically female? Perhaps.
It is NOT the point at which a man dresses in drag, re-names himself Stacy and exercises the right to enter the women’s changing facilities.
Personally I think after full transitioning which to me includes all the surgery plus the required hormones. That’s an “easy” line to draw and, to put it bluntly, largely removes the threat to women from a man entering women’s facilities on a whim because, as you say, he’s dressed in drag and is calling himself Stacy today.
I acknowledge this might be difficult for some genuine trans people while waiting for surgery etc (and I do think there are a small number of people who genuinely feel they are in the wrong body, although whether surgery and hormones are really the answer to this I don’t know). But I think it’s the only realistic and sensible answer.
Seems a lot of trans activists, chanting “One struggle, one fight”, are afflicted by Palestine Envy.
Mental illness writ large
It makes a change to see people creating their own signs than getting them from the Socialist Worker’s shop.
