JK Rowling’s feminist activist buddy responds after she and other lesbians were REMOVED from the Cardiff gay pride march owing to “confrontation” with trans organizations.
Lesbians who disrupted the Cardiff pride march were removed by police following a “confrontation.”
A police officer instructed the anti-trans lesbian activist organization Get The L Out UK to move aside.
Activist Angela Wild has accused LGBT of ‘fighting against lesbians’ based on a clip showing a lesbian and a transgender lady yelling at each other on a road.
After being removed, she says, ‘we have the right to express ourselves’
A feminist activist friend of J.K. Rowling criticized the decision to withdraw her and other gender-critical lesbians from a Cardiff gay pride march owing to a “confrontation” with transgender marchers.
Angela Wild, from the anti-transgenderism activist group Get The L Out, has argued that “we have the right to be there and the freedom to express ourselves.”
On Saturday, a police officer was seen on video urging members of the group to leave the march.
She and other gender-critical activists, including another of Ms. Rowling’s pals, Lianne Timmerman, originally obstructed the march for ‘about three minutes’ with banners that read ‘transactivism erases lesbians’ and ‘lesbians don’t like penises’
The march then resumed, until more footage revealed two opposing marchers yelling at one another on St Mary Street.
The police then interfered and threatened to remove the gender-critical organization from the demonstration.
However, in an interview with GB News last night, Ms. Wild accused the LGBT community of “fighting against lesbians” and debunked the “myth that the LGBT is a loving family.”
She stated that police had urged the group to go to the rear of the march, but warned that this location is “very unsafe for us.”
The activist stated, “We began by going in front of the procession with our banners so they would be visible to the marchers and the crowd.” We effectively halted the march for around three minutes.
Angela Wild (on the right) has charged the LGBT community with “working against lesbians.”
Ms. Wild is a friend of J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, who has been regularly targeted by trolls for her opinions.
The police then requested us to go to the rear of the march, to which we responded that we had the right to be there.
“From past experience, we know that the back of the march is a very dangerous area for us, therefore we insisted on remaining in the front, where we are safer.”
We marched for approximately ten minutes before being surrounded by police and transactivists who grew increasingly angry towards us.
The police then claimed that we were impeding the march and that they will remove us. Some of us were threatened with expulsion, while others were threatened with arrest.’
She continued, ‘We are there, we stand our ground, we have the right to be there, we have the right to express ourselves, and a pride march should be where lesbians can celebrate their same-sex attraction.
This is what the majority of people believe a pride march to be about.
Since then, the event’s organizers, Pride Cymru, have claimed the lesbian group ‘interrupted’ the march and were not registered to participate.
The police officer was overheard telling the women that they were “creating conflict between different groups of individuals.”
He stated, “Right now, your march, this group of individuals, is provoking conflict between other groups of people.”
The women then respond, “We’re lesbians, it’s Cardiff Pride.”
The police officer responds, “whatever you are doing right now is provoking conflict.”
Ms. Wild explained the objectives of the group’s participation in the march by stating, “We do not desire relationships with guys who identify as women.”
Ms Wild added that it was ‘not the case’ that she is hateful towards transpeople.
She said, ‘If some of these men wish to identify as women or refer to themselves as women, that is their decision. If they believe that makes them female, that is acceptable.
We do not have to believe that or agree with that, and we do not have to be forced into relationships with people we do not desire. People are free to believe whatever they like.
Equally, we are free to believe whatever we wish. Nobody should be forced to accept an ideology in order to make someone else feel at ease.
The police officer can be heard in the tape telling the women that their group is inciting conflict between different groups of individuals.
The group’s banners read “transactivism eradicates lesbians” and “lesbians dislike penises.”
Get The L Out UK, a lesbian activist organization that “opposes… transgenderism,” uploaded footage from yesterday’s Cardiff Pride celebration.
A police officer informed one of the women, “We will remove you from the road to ensure your safety.”
Ms. Rowling has previously defended Ms. Wild, who was entangled in a free speech dispute after she was suspended from her Twitter account for tweeting: “All men should be excluded from women-only venues – and they are.”
The author of Harry Potter, who has become a prominent feminist voice on social media, showed her support for Ms. Wild by retweeting a friend’s tweet about her plight.
Transgender rights groups and ‘gender critical’ organisations continue to clash, with the LGBT+ campaigning charity Stonewall being dumped by the Government’s Legal Department, Cabinet Office, Equality and Human Rights Commission, BBC, Channel 4, and Ofsted.
The police and the National Health Service, as well as commercial companies, are under fire for their involvement with Stonewall due to rising knowledge and concern regarding its ideology.
In July, a tweet from the controversial charity and lobbying group claimed that children as young as two can identify transgender individuals.
Trans ideology and the concept of self-identification, which promotes the belief that anyone, regardless of their sex at birth, should have the right to determine their own gender without medical intervention, have sparked outrage over male-born trans women having access to female-only spaces such as changing rooms, restrooms, and refuges.
The views of vocal opponents, such as the 57-year-old author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, have been repeatedly targeted by trolls.
A damning assessment concluded that the controversial NHS child transsexual clinic was ‘not safe’ for children, prompting its closure last month.
The Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust’s gender identity program will be replaced with regional centres at existing children’s hospitals, which will offer more comprehensive care with “strong linkages to mental health services.”
During yesterday’s rally, “Get The L Out UK” displayed placards reading “transactivism eradicates lesbians” and “lesbians dislike penises.”
A video uploaded by the group, however, depicts an officer approaching them and stating, “At this time, your march is inciting conflict between different groups of people.”
The women then respond, “We’re lesbians, it’s Cardiff Pride.”
The police officer responds, “whatever you are doing right now is provoking conflict.”
To ensure your safety, we will remove you from the road, he continues.
A woman responds, “I want to make sure I understand that lesbians are being removed from an LGBT march.”
The cop affirms, “Yes, that is what is occurring… for safety, your safety… for the protection of others – that is why I’m doing it.”
You should be able to safeguard lesbians during a pride march, she responds.
The officer adds, “We may have more conversations about the reasons why by the side of the road, because you will be removed from the road otherwise.”
The video has prompted an online debate on the judgment, as Get The L Out UK was not a registered participant and ‘crashed’ the event.
The video has prompted an online debate on the decision, with some claiming that Get The L Out UK were not registered members of the parade and ‘crashed’ the event.
Yesterday, footage captured a lesbian and a transgender lady yelling at one another on St. Mary Street during the LGBT+ march.
Officer: “At this time, your march, this group of individuals, is inciting conflict amongst other groups of people.”
Twitter user: “If they require protection for their own safety, the police should march with them and protect them.”
‘Lesbians. In peril. During a Pride march. And the cops advise *them* to leave, rather than dealing with the perpetrators of the threat. What has become of Pride? What has become of the police? I can hardly believe what I’m witnessing,’ said someone else.
Andrew Doyle, a journalist, said, “Police removing lesbians from a pride procession.” No longer does the pride movement support gay people.
Laurence Fox, an activist, stated, “Does anyone still have any doubt that #PRIDE has anything to do with gay and lesbian people? The woke virus uses minority groups as a cloak for its subversive, vicious, and divisive political goal. It was ineffective with Build Large Mansions. It will also not work with this.
Martina Navratilova, a former professional tennis player, uploaded the video with the comment, ‘This demonstrates how crazy and absurd things are becoming in our LGBT community. Deleting the L… Wow… misogyny is thriving.
The video has prompted an online debate on the judgment, as Get The L Out UK was not a registered participant and ‘crashed’ the event.
The author Julie Bindel adds, “Coming out as a lesbian in the 1970s was extremely difficult.” The level of misogyny was astronomical, and males would yell at us that all we wanted was a nice f**k. When we were victims of racism and abuse, police were rarely empathetic. God bless, those days are over. Oh, wait….’
However, another questioned, “Why attend an LGBT event if you want to “get the L out”?”
Scott McGlynn, a Welsh actor and LGBT+ campaigner, expressed regret about the confrontation that occurred at yesterday’s event.
The majority of women and lesbians applauded your departure. You do not reflect their majority opinion. You only attended as an anti-trans organization, remarked a third party.
Yesterday, Welsh actor and LGBT+ activist Scott McGlynn celebrated Pride. He stated, “I’m disappointed that this has occurred on a day when the LGBTQ+ community celebrates together as a family.”
“All the organizers and volunteers at Pride Cymru have worked tirelessly for months to put together this beautiful celebration for all of us. It is tragic that this has occurred, as hate has no place in the LGBTQ+ community.
Someone another wrote, “The removal of homophobes and transphobes from Pride is positive.” Even if they are LGBT, homophobes and transphobes are not welcome at Pride because the event is a protest against homophobia and transphobia.
A subsequent commenter stated, “They were removed because they went there expressly to spread transphobia.” But of course you are exploiting this to make it appear as though the opposite is true in order to harm the trans community further. Because you are an awful person.
Gian Molinu, chair of Pride Cymru, said that Get The L Out UK disrupted the march.
They were removed because they blocked the road and prevented the pride procession from continuing, not because they were lesbians, said a second individual. It was due to their disruption of the occasion.’
Chair of Pride Cymru, Gian Molinu, said: ‘Today’s Pride Cymru procession was all about celebration and LGBTQ+ rights.
Despite a tiny handful of persons stopping the march, they were drowned out by the community and spectators’ chants of solidarity. At Pride, there is no room for hatred.
Transgender rights are human rights, our procession proclaimed today in a resounding voice.
A representative for South Wales Police stated, ‘We collaborated extensively with the local government and Pride Cymru to allow a march through Cardiff City Centre on Saturday, August 27.
‘During the ceremony, officers had to interact with a tiny protest group that had gathered on the route to obstruct the march.
To prevent further disruption to the event, cops requested that the group relocate to a neighboring site, which they agreed to do.
“Officers explained why they had to relocate, given direction on how to protest peacefully, and offered to support a lawful demonstration.”
The gang was cooperative and quickly fled the location.
Contrary to several social media allegations, no one was detained or forcibly transported by law enforcement.
