A GENDER critical activist was led away by police after she attempted to confront a trans rights rally outside a feminist conference in Glasgow.Around 70 protesters joined the demonstration in response to calls from Glasgow Trans Rally, who accused FiLiA of “transphobia” veiled “behind ‘feminist’ rhetoric”.
However, police had to intervene after Miller crossed the road dividing the two sides and attempted to confront the trans rights protest.had caved in to pressure and cancelled the conferenceMP, is one of the speakers at the FiLiA conference on Friday, which organisers say will be attended by more than 1400 people.Cherry further said in the opening of her speech: “The people protesting outside are not representative of my country.
“I would like them to drop this insistence that trans rights are in conflict with women's rights and drop their opposition to self-identification because a lot of the kind of topics being discussed in there are very valid, like violence against women. In her speech to the conference, Cherry said the “war on women” had been “fuelled by irresponsible politicians who should know better than to feed its flames”.She went on: “When they tell women, when they tell us, that our views are ‘not valid’ or make unfounded allegations of bigotry, transphobia, racism, or whatever pejorative comes to hand, then they make things worse, not better.
