An intermediary who I trust has just directed me to https://terfsupper.com/

The website consists of a single article describing an unpublicised 4 October 2022 gathering at the Naughtons Parkville Hotel in inner Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its central allegation, which appears to be substantiated by images provided by the authors, is that attendees at the gathering consisted of influential Australian anti-trans activists including:

— Oliver "Ollie" Hassett né Davies, radicalised detrans activist affiliated (formerly?) with anti-trans hate group #Genspect;

— Genevieve Hassett, opponent of the "woke trans ideology," and Ollie's partner;

— Angie Jones, conspiracy theorist focused on Big Pharma and "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" (ROGD), host of TERF TALK DOWN UNDER;

— Jasmine Sussex, anti-trans microcelebrity, guest on TERF TALK DOWN UNDER;

— Jessica Williams, anti-trans writer affiliated with Single Sex Prisons WA;

— Rachael Wong, chief executive officer of Women's Forum Australia, an anti-abortion, anti-trans lobby group most of whose publicly named executives are closely linked to the Catholic Church;

and, perhaps more importantly, two senior officers of the Australian Greens Victoria (AGV):

— Linda Gale, a member of the AGV State Executive, who was previously Convenor de facto until her removal for having been illegitimately elected;

— Rohan Leppert, an AGV-endorsed member of the Melbourne City Council.

While Gale and Leppert have previously expressed views which either unambiguously are or could be reasonably interpreted as anti-trans, this is to my knowledge the first published allegation of anything on their part that ventures beyond the realm of simply hanging out with transphobic people and saying transphobic things, and into the realm of organised anti-trans conspiracy and collusion.

Most of the claims in the article are independently verifiable using information in the public domain. To the best of my ability to determine, they are indeed true. The article contains significant further sourcing and proposed actions; I strongly encourage making the time to read it.

A draft policy set to be voted on next week would cement SFPD's authority to use robots for lethal force.

“This is not normal,” said civil rights attorney Tifanei Moyer. “No legal professional or ordinary resident should carry on as if it is normal.”

Two autonomous collectives at UCSB & UC Davis have just simultaneously liberated two dining commons: De La Guerra @ UCSB & Latitude at Davis. Both are serving free meals to all until 3pm."Why it is that in the best public university system in the US, so many students are hungry?"
