Passed through Liverpool Street Station earlier and saw a sit-in taking place in the middle of the concourse. Looked like it was in support of trans rights — there were trans pride flags, banners, and someone was speaking with a microphone while others sat and listened. Quite a few people stopped to watch, and the mood was peaceful overall.

Not sure who organised it, but it seemed well-coordinated. No major disruptions that I could see, though it did draw a decent crowd. Received a leaflet opposing strip-searching of British Transport Police. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else saw it or has more context.

p.s. Not taking a stance here — just reporting what I saw.

  4. Hang on while I fetch the popcorn and set to ‘sort by controversial’.

  9. I definitely oppose strip searching of police officers 🥲

  10. >Received a leaflet opposing strip-searching of British Transport Police.

    Yes, I can see why that would be annoying when they are trying to perform their duties.

  11. Lots of people in masks there.

    Do they have covid…?

  13. Is that really today? Why are there so many people wearing face masks?

  15. Trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️ trans folk get such a hard time trying to exist here, and people get grumpy that they have to become super visible to fight for their rights.

    Unrelated, but Liverpool Street is a Goated station 🚉

  17. So the strip searching issue (which I assume is the one you’re talking about) is that the police are not letting biological men strip search women.

    And some people are offended by this?

    When are trans activists going to learn to get along with the rest of society, you can’t have everything your way.

  20. I sexually identify as an AH64-D variant Apache attack helicopter. They said I couldn’t be a helicopter but I’ll show them. I’m having a rotor and stub wing pylons surgically grafted onto my body. I’ve already had a tail rotor attached I’m just waiting for the hellfire missiles.

    If you don’t refer to me as an attack helicopter then you’re a bigot terf.

  21. Sunderland fans in the back thinking typical London 😄

  23. Im looking for my friend, the one and only Sarah jane Baker lol. She cut off her balls in prison many years ago whilst serving a hefty sentence for chopping up thenperson who abused her for years.

    Oh as an aside she also carved up a paedophile and received another good few years on top. She’s out now bless her even though she got recalled at a trans rally for saying “if you see a terf punch them in the face” lol.
    I was looking for her signature red beret alas couldn’t see it. She’s always carrying a megaphone and is a maestro on the violin.

  24. Good for them, an important cause. And it’s literally insane the number of people here wearing keffiyahs. The ignorance astounds

  25. As long as they are not blocking the way to the trains its fine I don’t know what they protesting for but freedom of speech

  29. So they only oppose strip searched of themselves, and not of men and women generally? Rather disappointing.

  30. 1. They have all civil rights as everyone else. So don’t know what extra rights they’re looking for

    2. This is loitering
