Action for Trans Health have been wrongly accused by both The Daily Mail and the Times of encouraging violence against anti-trans activists. The two outlets made the claim following a fight between trans-exclusionary radical feminists and ATH activists at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park last week. The misreporting is said to have stemmed from an interpretation of a statement on Twitter from the Edinburgh offshoot branch of ATH which stated “ violence against TERFs is aways self-defence". The main ATH group released a statement saying “We condemn violence against women in all forms………we will continue to oppose all transphobia and all attempts to curtail the rights of our community……..”
