During a counter-protest in Nottingham against anti-trans activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, a trans activist named Anna experienced physical aggression from gender-critical protesters. The rally organized by Keen-Minshull promoted exclusionary beliefs against trans people under the guise of feminism. Despite efforts for a peaceful demonstration, Anna stated she was assaulted and that counter-protesters faced intimidation and bullying. Observers reported a charged atmosphere with many aggressive interactions, contrasting with the vibrant, creative energy of the counter-protest group, Nottingham Against Transphobia (NAT).
There was a lot of aggression; a lot of very angry men shouting at women, and I was in a position where I had to put myself between these snarling men.
They were trying to bully us; a lot of what they were saying was just general schoolyard bullying.
