You’ll notice that the main white woman Posie near camera — is not yelling “Biology is Real!”
She’s not arguing.
SHE’S NARRATING.
She is saying that the Black woman is aggressive. That the crowd needs to handle her. She says there is misogyny....

She is perfectly calm.
This is called “Nonviolent suffering and conversion.”
We all know this technique. When Civil Rights leaders did it they broke unjust laws — the wanted an overreaching response.
GCers will show up to agitate space — to get a similar response.

The goal is to be on film and convert sympathy to their side. They WANT to be kicked out of Pride. They want to report an overreaching response.
DO NOT BUY INTO IT.
Some vulnerable ally might throw a punch or vigorously defend.
Here is how to prepare:

Here is how to prepare:
#1 - Always expect that they will show up, expecting is accepting.
#2 Best move:
MAKE THEM LONELY

Do not engage. Walk alway.
Let them look like losers. Take sad photos from afar. Hum the Charlie Brow songs
THIS IS US THIS IS THEM

#3 Sarah McBride McHide!
The woman on camera antagonizing BLM did the SAME THING last year by barging into a meeting and harrassing Sarah McBride.
Sarah DID NOT ENGAGE — she just turned and braced though it.
Be small.
Their transphobic harassment will be seen.

IF you have a gentleness — go ahead and narrate back.
They are disrespecting boundaries, they are antagonizing space, ask them to please leave.
If you have ever gotten angry — don’t.
We don’t need some trans woman’s boyfriend or sibling to step up to defend

GCs / TERFS fails:
- Echo chamber where they’ve exaggerated trans violence - so they expect stuff that won’t happen
- Myopic around white privilege - don’t understand they are Karen’s or what their calling out BIPOC looks like
- Overly sarcastic. Gen X/Boomers
Be safe!
