For the past decade, the trans movement has relied on a two-pronged approach to assert their agenda: state enforcement (via censorship, arrests, and prosecution of those who publicly disagree with their ideology), and street-level violence (which has often been directed at feminist activists and events). The vandalism in Brighton this weekend is simply another example of that modus operandi.
In the early morning hours of Friday, October 10, masked figures were caught on video at the U.K.’s Brighton Centre on Kings Road, smashing windows and spray-painting the walls. A women’s rights conference, put on by the feminist group FiLiA described by the BBC as “a three-day event billed as one of the largest grassroots feminist gatherings in Europe,” was scheduled to be held there. The left-wing feminist event featured 250 speakers, and 2,400 attendees were expected to attend.
Filia had previously requested protection for the conference but had been denied.
Police are investigating the crimes, but the culprits have already come forward. Trans activists from the group “Bash Back,” which says it is a “trans-led direct-action group,” claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement published online. Bash Back claimed that they had targeted the conference because it promoted “some of the most vicious transphobia in pop politics,” and stated that the attack was just the beginning.

Bash Back cited “hate groups” such as Transgender Trend, which exposes gender ideology; LGBT Alliance, which seeks to evict trans activists from the LGBT movement; and the previous attendance at the conference of JK Rowling, one of the transgender movement’s most prominent antagonists.
The attack by extremist trans activists once again highlights the ongoing civil war within the progressive left-over gender ideology. The targeted conference included talks on “anti-racism, male violence, political organising, lesbian lives, migration and class.” FiLiA event organizers said in a statement that “It is shocking and saddening that a conference for women to discuss domestic abuse, sexual violence and lesbian safety has been met with smashed windows, graffiti, and intimidation.”
