FiLia2025 というのは、こういうヤバい会議です!

bsky.app/profile/femi...
(基本的には)辛いニュースです。

現在、英国のブライトンでは、FiLiA 2025 という反トランス・フェミニスト、反セックスワーカー・フェミニストによる国際会議が開催されています。

これに対して抗議行動も、さまざまに取り組まれているようです。

こちらのメディアは、現地でのプロテストの様子を報道してくれています。

Good morning from Brighton, where we will be reporting on the counterprotest against the FiLiA conference 2025.

【警報】
明日1日(土)は正午過ぎから、新宿駅東口周辺で、「買春容認社会を考える会」による街宣が行われるようです。

街宣終了後は、先日、英国•ブライトンで行われたFilia2025 という、反トランス•反セックスワーカーのフェミニストによる国際会議に参加してきた北原みのりさんによる学習会が、(おそらく場所を移して)予定されています。

北原さんがリレートークで発言するかは不明ですが、明日新宿に行く虎は、どうか気をつけて!

北原みのり on X: "イギリスで行われた世界最大のフェミニストイベントFiLiA2025に参加してきました。 女性への暴力についてまっすぐ語るフェミニズムのぶれない姿勢に鼓舞されると共に、多くの民主主義国家で起きている「性自認を生物学的性別に優先させた結果の重さ」を実感する時間になりました。 https://t.co/ay2ygoWvZo" / X

Brava to #FiLiA2025 for an amazing weekend of feminist dreaming and connection.

The right brought the fight to you. May you endure and triumph. Your mission is vital.

Sisters, cousins, it was intense. I have thoughts.
Hard Parts of Coalition x FiLiA2025 in Brighton
I say this because the critique of colonialism is ALSO a form of grief for the broken and bleeding bodies of women. If we cannot hear that in each other's vioces, we are lost.

A recap from the #filia2025 women’s liberation conference (representing that I attended to support our #haguemothers campaign). I got to spend time with some truly remarkable women that left me with a new gained power to keep going.

Thank you #FiLiA for that! ✊🏿💚💜🤍✊🏼

I had THE most brilliant #FiLiA2025 conference time with these wonderful, inspiring and determined women.

We laughed, made great plans together, nearly cried and laughed some more.

"...what kind of politics wishes to “bash back” against these women — fighters for workplace rights, against racism, for migrant justice, and against police intrusion?
It’s a serious question that deserves a serious answer." #FiLiA2025 morningstaronline.co.uk/article/snap...

We are delighted with the entirely positive reception we got and to talk to so many women at our stall at #FiLiA2025 over the weekend and make new connections all round the country. Thank you all for your interest, feedback and support.

"But I stand with FiLiA, because FiLiA stands with Women.
It stands with Women in prison, Women in exile, Women silenced in academia, and Women in war......"

Excellent statement from an excellent feminist.

"These are difficult times. But they are also clarifying times.

"And I would rather stand in difficulty, among Women who see clearly, than in comfort among those who have chosen to forget, or to be selective."

A very thoughtful reflection by @rachelhewitt.bsky.social on #FiLiA2025, the power of feminist organising and the challenges we all need to address. rachelhewitt.substack.com/p/i-was-at-f... 1/2
I was at FiLiA 2025 and what I saw, amid everything, was the power of female solidarity. Let's not lose sight of that.

Love this from @rachelhewitt.bsky.social about #FiLiA2025. And agree with every word from the deeply serious to the yes that was an amazing blue sequin top.

Thank you @filiacharity.bsky.social for providing the space this weekend. Thank you for your strength.

🧵 (1/2) Unsurprisingly #MACS2025, our men’s conference in solidarity with #FiLiA2025 has not been infiltrated, protested or attacked by activists.

Nobody claimed we were in #Brighton to cause tension / be provocative. Despite the fact that some of the women speaking at FiLiA also gave their…

"#FiLiA2025 debated the rise of misogyny, the spycops scandal, the exploitation of poor women through the surrogacy industry & migrant women & class. Its trade union network shows its keenness to reach out to the labour movement." @filiacharity.bsky.social @mstaronline.bsky.social

It was brilliant to have a room crammed with women for the @filiacharity.bsky.social TU Women's Network workshop and networking session at #FiLiA2025. Thanks to everyone who came and took part - a special thanks to everyone who sat on the floor when we ran out of seats... /1

Termina #FiLiA2025 @filiacharity.bsky.social,
el mayor congreso feminista de Europa (¡2.400 inscritas!).
Me vuelvo a casa con la cabeza llena de ideas e historias. Pasar 3 días con tantas mujeres sabias, valiosas, combativas, ha sido un chute de energía y optimismo 💜
¡Adiós, Brighton!

The people being angry at it are hypocrites too.

I mean look at this, retweeting a post about the suffragettes while being angry at a kind of protest the suffragettes would have done.

Oh look, it’s Akua Reindorf: Board member of the trans-hostile EHRC giving a talk at the FiLiA conference (which has a whole transphobic ‘gender critical’ subdivision) with a bunch of anti-trans activists! 😖

This, after she attended anti-trans lobby group LGB Alliance conference several years ago!

Having spent two days at FILIA feminist conference in Brighton, I last night dreamt that Trump had resigned! Sadly this morning it turned out to not be true. But dear sisters maybe with one more upsurge of feminist energy we can make it happen! #FILIA2025

"Thinking critically about sex and gender is not to everyone’s taste, despite it being a fascinating subject. But this is also because a patriarchal society allows most men to have the luxury of ignoring the subject"
