Speaking of rights for particular groups, it’s crucial to prevent women from having any such rights.
JK Rowling has said she is willing to “help with legal costs” after an event organised by the Women’s Rights Network group was cancelled by Féile an Phobail.
The west Belfast festival organisers posted a public statement on social media saying the Respect, Rights & Reality event, which was part of the Féile programme, had been withdrawn as it was “promoting campaigns against rights for the transgender community”.
Of course it wasn’t doing that, but if it had been, what would that tell us about rights for the trannsgenner communninee? If some or all putative rights of the transgenner communninee are in conflict with women’s rights, is there some obvious reason women just have to put up with it?
Yesterday, Féile issued a statement about the event, writing: “An event application was submitted to this year’s Féile programme by a group called the Women’s Rights Network.
Féile an Phobail was unaware from the initial submission that this event would promote campaigns against rights for the transgender community.
Féile an Phobail takes pride in standing up for those who are marginalised and attacked.
Unless they’re women. If they’re women, obviously they have no right to have rights. We are very progressive.
The Northern Ireland Women’s Rights Network is described as a cross-community volunteer organisation and on their website say they are dedicated to defending the “sex-based rights of women and girls through advocacy, education, and community engagement.”
Not allowed. Sorry. (Not actually sorry.) Women and girls are the oppressors; men pretending to be women are the oppressed.
A statement from the Women’s Rights Network said: “Women’s Rights Network Northern Ireland is shocked and deeply disappointed that Féile an Phobail has cancelled our event, Respect, Rights & Reality, after previously accepting it into this year’s programme.
“Our event was a discussion on women’s sex-based rights. That was made clear to Féile when our application was submitted.
“This decision follows an organised online campaign against the event. That campaign included misogynistic, abusive and, in our view, threatening rhetoric directed at women associated with it. No organisation that values free speech should allow intimidation to determine which voices are heard.”
Unless the intimidation is coming from the trans communninny.
“Through this event women have sought to discuss their own rights. Feile has chosen to silence the voices of the very group that makes up half the population. Women are not a fringe interest group. We are half the population.”
I keep saying this. We’re half the population and we’re the half that gestates the whole. Without women: extinction.
