Women's rights advocates write letter asking the Prime Minister to take action against the «escalating campaign of violence and intimidation» by trans activists.

The letter, signed by more than 10 000 people, it is said that women are increasingly threatened with “social ostracism”. simply because they claim they have the right to same-sex spaces.

They called on Rishi Sunak to commission a review of the impact of «extreme trans activism» on women's rights.

>And they called on the government to ensure adequate police protection for gender critical activists. One campaigner said she wanted to take action before the woman was killed.

Earlier in September, gender-critical women were harassed by trans rights activists after they left a public meeting in Manchester.

The letter, organized by the group Sex Matters, is signed by philosophy professor Kathleen Stock and author Graham. Linehan, actor James Dreyfuss, swimmer Sharron Davies, TV presenter Jenny Murray and women's rights activist Nimco Ali.

Yelled and intimidated

It said: “We ask you to take urgent action to stop the escalating campaign of violence and intimidation against women in the name of “transgender rights.”

“Women face social ostracism and loss of livelihood.” and physical violence; shouted and intimidated at public events; and even suffered physical violence—all while they insisted on their freedom of religion and freedom of expression, and called for the preservation of existing legal protections based on gender.

“We call on your government to appeal calling for evidence and rapid research into the impact of extreme trans activism on women's rights, as it has done with other emerging threats to civil liberties and the democratic order.»

“This will enable you to identify specific actions that need to be taken by the police, Crown Prosecution Service, courts and prisons to ensure women's rights are respected.”

Last week, two senior members of Sex Matters — Maya Forstater and Helen Joyce — held a meeting at the People's History Museum in Manchester.

But, as they left, they were subjected to violence and abuse from a mob of trans activists.

In August, the violent criminal was acquitted of inciting violence against women, despite video evidence.

At the Trans+Pride rally in London on July 8, Sarah Jane (formerly Alan) Baker, who served 30 years in prison for kidnapping, torture and attempted murder, told the crowd: «If you see Turf [trans-exclusive radical feminist], punch her in the face.» But the judge decided the comments were a joke and Baker was released.

Show your true colors

Ms Joyce said: “It's good to see these terrible people protesting because it forces them to show their true colours.”

“But I don't want to see a woman killed. These people want us off the streets, but we are not going to leave.»

The letter said: «Men who harass women under the banner of trans activism do not stop at shouting insults at women's rallies: they are in waves signs with slogans such as «Behead Turfs» and «Kill JK Rowling». And sometimes they commit physical violence.

“If she responds by explaining why it is important to keep women and girls protected, she may be reported to her employer and often to the police. Shockingly, their investigative powers are often then undermined and become instruments of misogynistic violence and coercion against women.”

It concludes: “We call on you, Prime Minister, to lead the fight. We call on you to condemn violence and intimidation against gender-sensitive women, commit to addressing the issue, and begin gathering evidence.”
