Mancs Reclaim The Night march a success

Manchester Reclaim the night March a success,
despite threatened 'transqueer' counter protest.

Mancs Reclaim The Night was a success despite heavy rain
and a threatend counter protest by a 'transqueer'.

An estimated 150 people walked the streets of Manchester demanding
an end to male violence against females.

The Reclaim The Night marches in the UK began as a protest
againt the Yorkshire Ripper Murders and police publicly telling
women to stay indoors and not go outside after dark.

There was a women only bloc on the march and
and a mixed bloc which included male allies (including Anarchist/Alternative men) who understand and support women only space, and who know that men can
end violence against women.

'threatened 'transqueer' counter protest'

This is either a case of transqueer phobia or just a misunderstanding because the trans queer block was there in solidarity, just like other groups were. I found the solidarity from the transqueer block to be quite moving as they are a sector of society who also suffer gender discrimination. It was never called as a counter protest.

The transqueer block was at the back and attracted support from others in the second march, i will post photos soon.
