Militant Trans Group ‘Bash Back’ Targets Wes Streeting’s Office in New Direct Action Campaign

2 min read

Militant trans group Bash Back has issued a guide urging activists to cause “direct harm” to targets including Wes Streeting’s constituency office, the Free Speech Union and the EHRC. The Telegraph has the story:

In a guide distributed to activists, Bash Back instructs them to cause “direct harm” with “lasting effect”.

Borrowing the methods of direct action campaigns organised by pro-Palestinian and environmental activists, the group is urging supporters to identify “transphobic” targets and then “hit them repeatedly until they desist from their activities”.

Under a photograph of Wes Streeting’s constituency headquarters, the guide states: “Examples of good targets include offices of transphobic MPs and organisations (e.g. Sex Matters, the EHRC, Free Speech Union (FSU) party conferences)… and the property of transphobic public intellectuals.”

Last year, the group attacked Mr Streeting’s office in Ilford, East London, splashing the building with red paint and daubing the words “child killer” on the windows. …

Bash Back was founded last year after the Supreme Court ruled that the definition of a woman in the Equality Act was based on biological sex. …

Ironically, the group claimed that one of the reasons it had decided to take action was that the Government had been “cracking down on free speech”.

But it has also specifically identified the Free Speech Union (FSU) as one of its main targets.

In January, it hacked into the FSU’s online security and published the names of anyone who had donated more than £50 in the past two years.

After the list of names appeared online, the FSU obtained an emergency injunction from the High Court, which forced the group to remove the donor details.

Lord Young of Acton, the General Secretary of the FSU, said: “Trans Bash Back is a militant protest group that has vandalised a Labour MP’s office, disrupted a feminist conference, caused the EHRC to be evicted and caused hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage to the Free Speech Union – all in an attempt to bully, harass and intimidate those they disagree with.

“No one is preventing Bash Back from exercising their right to free speech, but everything they do is intended to deprive their opponents of that right.”

So a terrorism organisation. Police! Police! Police!

Sorry “mate” we are too busy doorstepping the Far Right – the real terrorist threat claiming there are only two sexes.

I asked the Internet: what is narcissistic rage?

“Narcissistic rage is a term that was first coined by author Heinz Kohut in 1972 to refer to the tendency for people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) to fly into a rage with what might seem like the slightest provocation or no obvious provocation at all. People with NPD require that others give them consistent admiration and positive feedback. When this doesn’t happen, it can elicit underlying feelings of shame that trigger an instant angry response and cause them to lash out without considering how it impacts the recipient. It is the narcissist’s thin skin and sensitivity that leads to this rage because of a deep-seated fear of being “found out” for not being the person they portray themselves to be.”

Surely we can all agree that this goes far beyond anybody exercising their right to freedom of speech or expression. These nutjobs are blatantly inciting violence, which is against the law, therefore why haven’t the police stepped in? Their intention is hardly ambiguous, is it? It’s over to Wesley the Wise;

”Transgenderism is an uncontrolled society-scaled experiment in conformity and obedience: a test of how far you can make people parrot absurdities, inflict cruelties, collude with unrealities, and ostracize and punish people for things they do not themselves believe.
It is a test of whether the moral self-abasements and routine betrayals that occurred in the Soviet Bloc with its secret police and political prisons and armies of informants could be replicated in liberal, democratic, and pluralistic societies that lacked this formal apparatus of repression: whether minor rewards and punishments could force people to punish people for stating the most self-evident of all truths and inspire them to cheer on the chemical castration and dismemberment of their own children.
It is a test of whether civil liberties organizations could be twisted into instruments of state repression and human rights groups instruments of defamation and violence against women. It is a test… Read more »

A very good summary. As we know, a phobia is an irrational fear. I do not “fear” “trans” people at all, rationally or irrationally. I think they are probably quite unhappy which is unfortunate but as long as they get on with their lives and let me get on with mine, and don’t steal my tax money for their madness, or try to mutilate children, I don’t much care what they do. But it’s not about that.

Presumably, this qualifies for terrorism and members of this group should be treated accordingly?

It’s definitely incitement. Don’t you get two and a half years for that?

The definition of terrorism keeps being read out on the media. This is terrorism and must be prosecuted immediately.

Imagine how they would whine if we ‘bashed back’ at these scumbags.

Once you’ve bashed them hard enough they stop whining.

ActUp! is another Queer Fascist group – both modelled after the Nazi Brown shirts (according to their founders).

BashBack has been attacking Churches for a few decades now in the name of Queerity and mental illness. No surprise it has added Trans Fascism to its ideology.
