GENDER-CRITICAL activists and counter-protesters clashed in the Scottish capital on Saturday in a dispute over gender ideology and trans and women’s rights.
Let Women Speak (LWS), an organisation described by supporters as a gender-critical feminist campaign, led a rally outside the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh.
During a speech at the rally, Kellie-Jay Keen, sometimes known as Posie Parker, described transitioning children as “profound abuse” and called Scotland’s hate crime laws “preposterous.”
They were met by opposition from various pro-transgender groups, including Cabaret Against the Hate Speech (CAHS), which led a counter-protest.
A CAHS spokesperson said: “We stand in solidarity with the trans community across the globe, who are facing unprecedented levels of violence, hatred and harassment.
“Our community showed up. We laughed, we sang, we danced, we shared out stories and a message of joy and resistance to hate.
“None of us [are] free until all of us are free. LGB with the T, now and forever.”
