Dear Asset , I want to take a moment to reflect on the heart of Let Women Speak: creating space for women to speak freely, openly, and without fear. This purpose has always been our guiding light, and it is what gives the movement its integrity and moral clarity. We speak for ourselves only. With that in mind, it’s important to remember that we choose not to engage directly with crowds of trans rights activists in their own natural mob-like habitat—whether for debate or for content. That is a deliberate and principled choice—not out of fear, but out of focus. Our goal is not confrontation. It is amplification: of women’s stories, voices, and truths. We don’t go to them—they come to us. And there is moral clarity, even power, in that. They aim to stop us from speaking; we are perfectly happy for everyone to hear what they have to say. The contrast speaks volumes, and more often than not, it speaks to those still unsure of where they stand. It’s worth noting the legal landscape in which we operate. In the UK, the right to protest is protected under Articles 10 and 11 of the Human Rights Act—freedom of expression and freedom of assembly. These rights apply equally to us and to those who oppose us. However, there are legal limits. Incitement to violence or hatred is not protected speech. The Public Order Act 1986, among other laws, draws the line where protest becomes harassment or intimidation. We don’t need to meet hostility with hostility. In fact, there is a certain satisfaction in sitting back and letting those who claim to speak for "justice" reveal themselves—often through aggression, silencing tactics, or outright threats. The contrast is a beautiful thing to witness. It peaks those who still believe this is a debate about kindness or inclusion, and shows them what’s really at stake. Let’s continue to centre the women who are so often silenced or sidelined. That’s where our strength lies. That is how we win hearts and minds. Warm wishes, Kellie-Jay
