I am one of those 6, now all ex-trustees. I had my accreditation as a breastfeeding counsellor taken from me for 'disparaging LLL' and talking to the press ^. I would be delighted to talk to @BBCWomansHour about the different ways supporting male lactation is a problem.

Never seen anything like this at a RTN before - absolutely disgusting.
Well done those women for carrying on and showing how much this march is needed!!! ๐ช๐ช๐๐
#ReclaimTheNightNottingham
Police had to escort us through the city. The streets of Nottingham are not safe for women in 2026
The words "female-only" are met with violence, intimidation and harassment
But we stayed strong and finished our march
Power to the women โ๏ธ๐๐๐ค

IN 1977, WOMEN MARCHED TO RECLAIM THE NIGHT. IN 2026, THEY STILL NEED POLICE TO PROTECT THEM.
Almost fifty years ago, women took to the streets because they refused to accept that male violence should dictate when and where they could walk.
On Saturday, women in Nottingham carried that same message.
But their decision to hold a "female-only march" provoked a counter-protest from Trans activist.
Marchers faced abuse and intimidation. Police had to escort them through the city.
The women finished their march. But the confrontation exposed a deeply troubling argument about women's rights, political ideology and the freedom to organise.
The organisation behind the opposition has a history of its own.
We examine it in The Heartlands Tribune.

The all-out assault on the right of women to organise, campaign and protest without men is worse than itโs been in my adult life. Itโs not just the night that needs reclaiming.

This is what TRAs like to do best - try to fuck up everything women arrange for themselves.
Also- I mean, seriously, sorry not sorry- what a load of nut jobs
Last night, our members made history. We stood together in #Nottingham for the first female-only #ReclaimTheNight march the city has seen in well over a decade. In fact, this was likely the only explicitly female-only #ReclaimTheNight march in the entire country this year. 1/11

Solidarity with women reclaiming single-sex spaces and rights

Erm - but sir - you ARE one of those men.
Powerful men use the law to intimidate women theyโve abused into silence.
But itโs time to flip the fear. Help us to fund cases that turn the tables on these men, empower women to speak out โ and get justice:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jolyon Maugham, the director of the GLP, has a history of harassing women that campaign for sex based rights.
This includes Sarah Phillimore who has had to take legal action against him. crowdjustice.com/case/protectioโฆ
And recently he made derogatory remarks about the appearance and age of Barbara Rich. x.com/barbararich_laโฆ

Well done to the organisers and attendees at this tense march for womenโs safety in Nottingham.
The amount of woman-hatred has been encouraged and platformed by the ideology of transgenderism and the Left of politics.

Everyone at WRN is immensely proud of these brave women, both for reclaiming the #ReclaimTheNight march for women, and for holding firm in the face of predictable male violence.
โShame on all those misguided and malicious โprotestorsโ.

These scenes from Nottingham Reclaim the Night (RTN) are worrying.
Women marching to protest agains male violence against women and girls are met by exactly that violence.
How many police @nottspolice does it take to keep women safe in Nottingham city centre?

This is what happens when #ReclaimTheNight tries to do what it was set up for and be Women only.
Here in Belfast,
Reclaim the Night march is joined by Men taking front and centre. Women who believe sex is real do not feel safe to attend ๐

The protesters of our women's March were the Revolutionary Communist Group & friends.
They couldn't handle the idea of women assembling, networking and walking through town city!
They screamed obscenities at us, blocked us & tried to intimidate us. But we stayed strong.
Ruth Lewis retweeted
When I met Jolyon Maugham a few years ago I asked him what he had against LGB Alliance. He told me that it was because we could not possibly have held conferences at the QEII centre without men organising and funding us. When I tried to discuss this with him further he physically turned his back to me and told me that he refused to engage any further. He silenced me.
Then he took a case to the Charity Commission to have LGB Alliance struck off the register. He wanted to silence us.
Now he is saying he wishes to support women who have been "abused into silence". Are you planning to reimburse our supporters with the ยฃ250k your vexatious court case cost us Jolyon?
Let's flip the fear Jolyon - and get you in the dock for terrorising so many women over the years and abusing the law so to do.
When there are this many people determined that women should not be safe, quite a lot!
How many police @nottspolice does it take to keep women safe in Nottingham city centre?
