For everyone no not you
The People’s History Museum grovels in apology and self-chastisement for allowing disobedient women to hold a meeting on its premises.
People’s History Museum (PHM) is committed to creating a fairer world for everyone and we represent all those working to achieve this. The PHM team works tirelessly to create an inclusive and welcoming space. We stand in solidarity with trans and non-binary people.
But not women. Women are the Bad People.
We never want these values, or the trust that exists between us, to be undermined.
The past few days have been deeply troubling as our trans and non-binary allies, team members and collections have been at the centre of a hostile environment on social media. We are deeply upset by the situation, which arose from an external board meeting being held in a room hired at PHM by an organisation that we feel does not share our values. We did not do sufficient due diligence and we will learn from this. We are truly sorry for the impact this has had on the people and communities that we work with and our own staff team.
The organisation in question is Sex Matters.
It is a great museum. I happened on it while walking around in Manchester that time I was there for the QED conference. I’d never heard of it, so it was just luck that I spotted it after touring the Rylands Library. It is or was a great museum; now it seems to have decided women are the brutal ruling class and men are their battered starved tormented slaves.
And in conclusion:
We want to be clear that we are and always will be an inclusive space for trans and non-binary people, the wider LGBTQI+ community and all people who face marginalisation. We do not take relationships with our partners and communities for granted, we know it will take time to rebuild this trust and we are deeply committed to doing this.
But not an inclusive space for feminist women eh?
You sniveling cowards.
I expect they added they will say three “Hail Mary”s, er “Trans Women are Women” as well in penance. So much pious cant, really.
I wonder what they’ll do when the TRAs insist that all mention of Pankhurst and the suffragette movement be expunged from their museum and its shop? After all, it’s now well established that white women’s feminism is the root of all evil and oppression in the world.
Which is to say, we are sorry even though women holding a meeting about women did no harm to anyone at all. We are sorry someone stirred up an internet storm over absolutely nothing, and to get people to stop hitting us over the head, we are more than willing to blame whatever cause the violent nasties want to blame. Don’t hurt us, please.
Does anyone remember the episode of “The Simpsons” where Homer tried to join the Stonecutters but ended up unintentionally desecrating all their silly rituals and artifacts?
I daresay that we need more of that with the Trans-cult. They’re so insufferably fragile. (And, like the Stonecutters, so frighteningly powerful.)

Don’t forget trans activist Munroe Bergdorf went on a rant against suffragettes a few years ago.
FYI – The Suffragettes were white supremacists who were fighting for WHITE womens rights – they specifically left black women out of the movement. It is not 100 years since women got the vote it’s 100 years since WHITE women got the vote. Black women couldnt vote until MUCH later

What is Bergdorf talking about? If she’s talking about the UK, then the right to vote has never been restricted by race in the United Kingdom. And there were a number of non-white suffragettes in the UK (who were included in the movement) such as Sophia Duleep Singh and Sarah Parker Remond.
