Notification: Potential planned protest
Dear all, As you may have seen, throughout this week there have been news reports
referencing the system through which Harrods distributes service charge across our
in-store restaurants.
In relation to these reports, there is a potential protest planned by a third party
organisation (UVW) outside the store between 2pm and 6pm this Saturday 7th January.
Although we do not know the scale of the protest, I would like to remind all managers to
ensure that their teams are fully aware of the planned activity, and to be extra vigilant
of any suspicious activity on the day. If any employee suspects anything they should
contact Security on Ext. 2999 or Ext 2244 immediately.
Managers:
In the event that employees are asked for comment by reporters, they should not provide
any comments but instead pass on the details of our Corporate Affairs department on 07825
531658. Please cascade this number to your teams.
If you have queries from your team members, or they would like to know what to say to one
of their customers who may query the protest activity, the following is Harrods' response;
"The protest relates to the system of Service Charge Payments in the Harrods restaurants
which we are working directly with our staff to resolve."
If you have any further questions, please contact Corporate Affairs.
Regards,
Laura Brown
Retail Director

There is no simple, complete definition of trans identity. However, it can be defined as
the fact that a human stored in the "man" or the box "woman" to feel like the opposite
gender. This feeling can lead to wanting to adopt the appearance and behavior assigned to
the opposite gender. All that identity disorder is interesting for the anti-patriarchal
thinking. Without naivety. ---- Of transvestism (just disguise) Single transsexualism (the
transformation of the body) or not going to the operation of the reproductive system, the
experiences necessary for the development of trans people are different variables. In all
cases, trans may face the usual discrimination against people who do not choose a look
"normal" and more specific discrimination on the trans identity.
For us, radical feminists, gender is a social construction that defines the standards of
masculinity and femininity, including the appearance that must have the body. On behalf of
these standards will moqué.es even maltraité.es hairy women, especially on the face, fat
women especially pregnant, effeminate men, men young and slender ... The list is long of
non-compliant physical attributes that bring contempt and discrimination, even for an
unidentified person as trans. This will obviously increased ostracism towards a trans
person who is not 100% of the expected physical attributes of the selected genre.
This point must ask ourselves question. Is the world we seek to make - where the physical
birth sex would not be socially relevant and would not entail any consequence in the areas
of clothing, permitted activities, the allocated toys, qualities expected - transidentity
exist?
The difficulties of trans people are many. There are two kinds related to society and its
laws.
For transgender people, making the choice of hormone therapy and operations, the course is
long and complicated. These are necessarily medicalized and thus subject to the approval
process for physicians. In 1953, transsexualism is created as a mental illness in France,
and the discomfort and shame associated with the company are replaced by the disease.
Psychiatrists then take power on the medical history of trans and decide what is possible
for them and them. In 2010, France was the first country to come out transsexualism from
the list of mental illnesses. The medical history however is still marked by the need (not
codified by law) of a multidisciplinary course with a psychiatrist who authorized the
operation. But things are improving slowly. The financial management of care is provided
by health insurance. The route remains long because of procedures and because of the
scarcity of teams capable of ensuring genital surgery in good conditions. It is also
possible to have an operation abroad, quickly but without assurance of support by social
security.
Removal of sex in the civil register
Other discrimination resulting from the absolute division of the population into two
sexes. At birth, each child is assigned a gender, in most cases on the basis of the
appearance of the genitals. A human born boy or girl. In cases of uncertainty,
non-obviousness, you still have to decide and settle in ... sex. Born intersexed people
have organized to fight against barbarism and surgical happens when parents are
sufficiently open and at ease, that the decision be postponed and entrusted to the person
concerned. While some choose to remain anatomically intersex, it will choose an
administrative sex, get into a box. The high court agreed to Tours in 2015 that is
registered at the civil status of an intersex person, "neutral sex", the Court of Appeal
of Orleans reversed the decision in March this year. Marital status has implications for
life in general. Do not have the appearance of his name complicating approaches to any
administration and makes it almost impossible to access at work. This is particularly on
behalf of the difficulty to have a "normal" work that some trans associations defend
prostitution. This position is unacceptable to us. The solution for us in the struggle for
the demolition of prejudice and discrimination system.
Until recently changed name to use was possible by decision of the District Court,
establishing the problems being classified as the opposite sex and therefore not having
the head of his papers. Sex change was subject to medical conditions including
irreversibility (ie sterilization for certain judges) and the opinion of psychologist, so
that many trans (especially those who felt no need for surgery) had to make use of the
name change. That left possible discrimination at work and wherever Safely number is required.
Vital to the sex change procedure has been simplified by a law in July 2016 which awaits
its implementing decrees. The procedure remains litigious but it will be possible to
establish by evidence, for example, experience in the genre opposite its kind on the paper
to get the change. Provided that the judges do not make another interpretation of the law
by restoring medical conditions. It will then be possible to change his first name before
a registrar. This law does not completely satisfy the claims that were to change vital by
simple declaration.
A claim that feminists share is the removal of the mention of sex in the civil registry.
And on all possible forms, removing boxes M and F, mentions Mr. or Ms. with no interest.
It remains to assume that all names are possible for all humans.
The division of humanity into two groups also complicates access for trans people ... the
public toilets. Should "men and trans" toilets, and in front of "women and trans" toilets
as the book fair libertarian? Or toilets "men" and "women", trans being one or the other?
But in this case, they may be fired. Or simply toilets?
Transidentity asks radical feminists also because if gender is acquired by cultural
conditioning, if "one is not born a woman, one becomes one", do you become just as when we
were socialized as a man? Or can one completely escape its packaging and gendered be other
than his education would have wanted? Some trans and some question the gendered codes but
most comply with it, wanting to stick closer to the social reality of the destination of
sex, should we blame them? If gender identity is decreed by the person concerned, any
single-sex feminist movements when a man says masked woman? The question of single-sex can
become a sticking point, everyone trans are or have been women ...

Direct to the demand of the hunger strike and thirst anarchist II fighters. Roupa and N..
Maziotis. ---- At dawn Thursday, January 5, the Pola Roupa arrested by forces of EKAM and
counter-terrorism, in the house he was staying with his son 6chrono and Constantina
Athanasopoulos. After leading them to safety, the repressive mechanisms remove the child
from his mother, but she knows that is until late. The Prosecutor refuses to give custody
to her relatives, as she had asked and threatens to put in an institution, while the child
"held" guarded at Children's Hospital. ---- The brutality of the state has no limits. In
order to take revenge and to push the Pola Roupa and Nikos Maziotis, abduct their son
6chrono. The vengeance that the part of the state is not random. As we have already seen,
when it considers that the sentence is not enough goes to other methods, such as the
criminalization of friendly and family relations in order to isolate agonists / twisted.
What I want to now get is that in the case is entitled to abolish all right, and even the
obvious, while simultaneously sending a message to all those fighting for what would have
to face because of their choice to stand against the rule of capital Mr. designs. So build
the exemption scheme for imprisoned fighters and more broadly the movement.
These practices bring back memories of the civil war and paidoupoleis Frederica to comply
potential new rebel favor of homeland. Once again it seems that the state has continued
and every political manager proceeds smoothly in the deepening of modern totalitarianism.
The rapture, the hostage and the psychological torture 6chronou a child is one of the
aspects that takes shape. It is the essence of misery, immorality and vengeance of the
system and bourgeois democracy.
Now given the child to his relatives

After numerous failed attempts of our city fascists call concentration, once again various
ridiculous Nazi groups, with imaginative equally ridiculous names, call again gathering
Sunday 8/1. All the dregs This city found their opportunity to gather once again in a
concentration that will complain about the "colonization of our homeland." ---- This time,
however, the call fascists has an originality: the part of the concentration has not been
announced! Having tried again and again to xemytisei always -Natural a yperpollaplasio
army riot police to guard the tomaria- them falling again and again over fascist
gatherings, the fascists in a paromoiodos funny move, announced that they will inform the
rest "synellines" for the concentration place just two hours before that - admitting that
this city can not ever occur anywhere safely.
The descendants of tagmatasfaliton that burned Hortiatis, the Oil Merchant and other black
marketers who have become rich on the back of the multinational proletariat and the Jewish
community of the city, those who have always been the loyal dog of the bosses, they once
fortified the building of YMCA fearing the punisher hand rebel, they are not currently
able neither the weight of their choices to take.
Under other circumstances we would say " FASCISTS BACK TO YOUR HOLES "
But, you, YOU HAVE NEVER BY THESE xemytisei
Today, more strongly than ever, anti-fascism is act on the road.
The oppressed of this world and we will always be at the forefront of the fight against
racism and fascism, against the hatred for life.
So this is the anti-fascists and antifascist, employees / s, unemployed / s, immigrants /
behavior shows, lgbtqi + people that we will stand against them Sunday.
LONG LIFE - DEATH fascism
NOR inch EARTH IN FASCISTS
FASCISTS AND BOSSES STOU wells Pato
LONG LIVE THE WORLD proletariat
