EFFORTPOST Official Rdrama Field Report - Furries Vs Women protest in Glasgow, Featuring @Marco and myself (PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND MARSEY SIGNS INSIDE!)

As you'll all know from my post earlier today, I attended the Cabaret Against Hate furry demo and the amalgamated pro women's groups TERFy protest occurring at the same time, and now that ive finally finished the image formatting (and had a few beers) i'm ready to deliver my first certified rdrama field report.

Arrival

Before I arrived @MarKong had already taken a couple of photos, one of himself and one of a dude in an umbreon suit, with the marsey signs (Marcos image is in his own post here https://rdrama.net/post/145031/had-a-lot-of-fun-at)

Upon my arrival at Glasgow Queen Street Station at noon (directly next to the square, across the road) I was immediately greeted by the sight of a bunch of old-timey suffragette coloured flags opposite a group of trans flags (seen below) that were separated by a 10-meter gap complete with metal crowd barriers and a decent number of confused pedestrians and bored police officers

The Terf Side:

The Furry/Trans Side:

I asked a few pedestrians if they knew what was going on and received a few shrugs and a reply from one dude who just said "women" ( :marseybased: ). Upon making my way over to the square I took a few photos of the crowd and was tentatively approached by a man (@MarKong Himself! very cute :marseyblowkiss: ). After verifying that it was actually him (and presumably him making sure I was me) we made our way around the side of the square containing the pro-trans rally, where he pointed out a few people holding his marsey protest banners he'd brought with him:

It was at this time one of my friends watching on the George square webcam sent me a screenshot of myself and @MarKong standing at the bottom of the screen, and we also took a selfie!

(for whoever it was that asked for feet pics you can see my shoes there thats all youre getting)

At this point a dude with a video camera and a fairly expensive looking microphone decided to ask us some questiona about why we were there :marseyworried: . Like frick were we saying why we were really there so we got out our generic background stories about "I cant believe such hate exists in the 21st century it's current year" and basically just said why we'd be attending if it wasnt for marseyposting and taking pictures to post on the niche cat forum. he was a pretty cool dude but i forgot to ask if he was with a newspaper so if anyone finds that please let me know (Marco had a mask on and idc i was wearing a hawaiian shirt the entire time)

After our impromptu interview we made our way around the square to

the terf side!

The terf side was actually pretty funny they had a huge banner with the definition of a woman on it but you couldnt see the definition because the crowd was in the way so it just said "woman" in huge lettering, someone else had a flag that said "terf island" on it and there was a woman with a massive red stop sign placard that said "stop pretending" on it that she moved to the front and held up across the square:

We didnt stick around the terf side for too long I didnt want to get too close and some of them were glaring at me so I felt sexually intimidated and left. This is why I only have like 3 photos of that side

Police Drone

The police had a drone but i didnt know it was for the cops at the time according to the sun it was to "give the police commander an overview", have a low res 4 pixel photo of it:

the furry side!

The furry side was way funnier as when we got back this dude standing next to a woman in chalk-white makeup and an arabic headscarf (???) was about to begin the official Glasgow gay/trans furry rainbow sing along!

We also have the obligatory glasgow resident showing up with a sign that just said "frick off" on it

they sang a few songs and it was pretty gay (I have videos but they wont upload to imgur and I cant be bothered uploading them to youtube rn, theres one with a literal 7 year old or so yelling trans lives matter into a megaphone its hysterical). These photos were taken next to a statue covered in banners people had brought, it looked like this until literally half an hour after everyone had left and a street cleaner worker came and took them away:

then we got bored and went to costa, missing the obligatory assault of the day but dont worry dramanaughts someone who wasnt me filmed it and posted it onto twatter, here you go: https://x.com/TheIndyNinja1/status/1622232222664212481

Then me and @MarKong decided we were going to get someone to take a photo of the 2 of us together, here it is! (add to sidebar please):

After which everything started winding down and so we got bored and went to a nearby bar, had beers for a bit and watched the :marseycop: s leave then i got on a :marseytrain: and left

overall review

7/10 unofficial rdrama meetup, not much in terms of actual drama cause the terf side spent the entire time giving a speech out of a microphone they got off of http://wish.com or something and it was more incomprehensible than the average actual glasgow residents we met so idk wtf they were saying, was something about teenagers and women so i tuned it out.

The furries/trans rights people were pretty based they were happy to take photos of me and @MarKong and also held up the marsey signs so you might see them on the news if articles actually get written

there was only 3 actual furries there (one of which was Marco) so it was mostly randoms with flags draped over them and some dude who turned up in a mask and brought his flag in the same rifle bag I used to have which made me unironically think i'd be documenting the first ever IRL shooting to be first posted to http://rdrama.net. Also to whoever said if you see a ginger twink ask if its me we actually did that and confused the frick out of some random so thanks for that

overall pretty good drama and got some good photos so :marseywholesometrans: , also cheers for the follows ill be sure to post more if and when i get the videos uploaded somewhere
