If you agree that Israel is committing genocide, you should loudly condemn organizations raising money for Israel. That includes churches and synagogues. Period.

Yes some of y'all are mad whiteness is no longer enough to protect you. The denial and exceptionalism that erases the embrace of anti-Black racial terror that got us here in the first place.

Gotta block and treat you like the quicksand you are and stay focused on where the REAL solidarity is.

To me, the whole “transition from…to…” narrative has always felt rooted in cisgender cope and ignorance

Trans+ people access Trans Healthcare to be themselves - that’s it - it's that simple

For true gender liberation, the “transition” framing needs to go

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

OUR STATEMENT ON THE ACTION AGAINST FILIA

TERFS GATHER EVERY YEAR TO GLOAT ABOUT ATTACKS ON BODILY AUTONOMY AND TRANS PEOPLE'S SAFETY

THIS YEAR, WHEN WE FACE THE GREATEST ATTACKS ON OUR FREEDOMS, WE WILL NOT ALLOW THEM THE PRIVILEGE

STATEMENT ON BASH BACK ACTION AGAINST FILIA (9/10/25)

LAST NIGHT, ACTIONISTS FROM BASH BACK TOOK ACTION AGAINST THE BRIGHTON CENTRE, VENUE OF THE FILIA CONFERENCE, WHICH PLAYS HOST TO SOME OF THE MOST VICIOUS TRANSPHOBIA IN POP POLITICS.

FILIA'S SPEAKERS THIS YEAR INCLUDE BIGOT-PROVOCATEURS JULIE BINDEL, LGB ALLIANCE AND "SCOTTISH LESBIANS" - A GROUP BEHIND THE SEGREGATIONIST 2025 SUPREME COURT RULING.
THEIR VILE AND HATEFUL RHETORIC LEADS TO THE SAME KIND OF DISCRIMINATORY VIOLENCE THAT KILLS HUNDREDS OF TRANS PEOPLE EVERY
YEAR.
THESE BIGOTS HAVE OUR BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS. THEY USE THIS CONFERENCE TO GLOAT. THIS YEAR, WE WILL NOT LET THEM.

STATEMENT ON BASH BACK ACTION AGAINST FILIA (CONT.)

BASH BACK SEES FILIA AS NEITHER RADICAL NOR FEMINIST, SPREADING MISOGYNIST HATRED BACKED BY BOTH BILLIONAIRES AND THE STATE.

LIKE THE SUFFRAGETTES AND RADICAL QUEERS BEFORE US, THAT THE ONLY PATH TOWARD LIBERATION IS THROUGH ACTION.

TO THE ORGANISERS OF FILIA WE SAY THIS:

IF YOU EXPECT TO CONTINUE IN YOUR TRADE OF TRANSPHOBIC HATE, IF YOU EXPECT TO CONTINUE IN YOUR QUEERBASHING AND TRANSMISOGYNY AND CALL IT "FEMINISM" THEN EXPECT RESISTANCE, EXPECT RETALIATION, EXPECT US.

PAINT WASHES OFF. BLOOD NEVER DOES.

Bash back have sent us this statement

TRANS ACTIONISTS TARGET ANTI-TRANS CONFERENCE

Trans direct action group "BASH BACK" accuses FiLiA of having "blood on their hands"

Last night - October 9th - actionists representing trans direct action group BASH BACK took action against the Brighton Centre, host of this year's FILIA conference, which begins its 10th annual event today.

Actionists from BASH BACK - which took action against Health Secretary Wes Streeting in August smashed windows and sprayed pink paint on the Brighton Centre building in protest at the anti-trans views expressed by FiLiA attendees. The group's objective was to prove trans people will not be intimidated, saying that FiLiA should "expect retaliation" if they continue.

A spokesperson for BASH BACK said:

"Despite presenting itself as a feminist conference with 'zero tolerance [...] for transphobia', FiLiA plays host to some of the most vicious transphobia in modern pop-politics.

"The conference's notable alumni include JK Rowling and Maya Forstater, and this year feature bigot-provocateurs such as Julie Bindel, LGBAlliance and

Transgender Trend, as well as Jenny Wilmott, director of Scottish Lesbians - one of the groups responsible for this year's segregationist and transphobic Supreme Court ruling.

"Speakers at FiLiA claim to advocate for 'protecting women's spaces' and 'sex based rights' but routinely advocate for the erasure of women's bodily autonomy and self determination. Their vile and hateful rhetoric that seeks to exclude and erase us leads to the same kind of discriminatory violence that kills hundreds of trans people every year. Far from outsider radicals, the bigots at FiLiA are backed by billionaires like J.K. Rowling, fundamentalist Christian groups, and the Labour government itself. This is the norm, and we will rise against it. To save ourselves, to save our community. To fight for our right to exist.

"Bindel, Wilmott and FiLiA itself have our blood on their hands, and for years they have sought a stage to gloat about it. This year, we will not allow them the privilege.

"BASH BACK recognises the speakers at FiLiA as neither radical nor feminist, and, like the suffragettes and radical queers before us, that the only path toward liberation is through action."

The BASH BACK spokesperson added:

The BASH BACK spokesperson added:

"To the organisers of FiLiA we say this: If you expect to continue in your trade of transphobic hate, if you expect to continue in your queerbashing and transmisogyny and call it 'feminism', then expect resistance, expect retaliation, expect us. Paint washes off, but blood never does."

Notes to editors

BASH BACK is a trans-led direct action project focused on "total transgender liberation", and has previously taken action against Health Secretary Wes Streeting and private prison firm Sodexo.
