Posie Parker's Illegal Opinions

This morning (anti feminist) Youtuber Sargon of Akkad has posted this excellent interview with Posie: You don't have to agree with either of them on everything to appreciate the clear common sense and plain speaking in this video. He has a large platform.

Nearly 30k views in the 2 hours it's been up.

This was excellent viewing, thank you OP

And they've moved onto what kids are being taught in schools - perhaps some of the right wing men who watch Sargon's videos are fathers too, and are now thinking about what their children are being taught in schools too.

I have a strong dislike of Carl Benjamin - but one thing he said in that video is spot on. When Posie's talking about the medicalised transitioning of children, he says he can't help but look at this in the same way he'd look at phrenology - and I just agree so much. So much of the medicalised pathway is under-researched, with no evidence of long-term outcomes - the Tavistock woman admitted as much on Newsnight. And in my book that makes it every bit as much quackery as phrenology is.

It was worth watching. Posie's clear language is very helpful (and she gets to speak a lot).

Thanks for the share, will watch this shortly.

Great interview, very clear summary of many of the issues from Posie.

@theflushedzebra

Thanks for pointing out the errors in my message. Unfortunately I look after two (generally noisy) children during Nick's programme, so sometimes mis-hear what is going on. It was funny though.

The likeliest way for the gender identity ideology to be discredited is when enough of the public, including right wing nutters, including feminists, and including readers of the Daily Mail, say "we've had enough, stop this".

KatvonHostileExtremist · 25/01/2020 14:31

He has a large platform of right wing nutters.

The Sargon is a complete tosser, is Kelly in the same room as him?? 🤮

Jane Fae said that a man was trying to find out Fae's address, because HE wanted to roll up at Fae's house and chop off their bits.

A man did this, not feminists.

Ah. How surprising. I still hope Jane reported it.

It must have been painful for Jane to apologise to Sarah.

I would definitely report such a threat to the police. Especially if I had a protected characteristic that the police were monitoring for hate crimes and even "hate incidents". But actually it is a clearly defined crime to threaten possibly fatal violence to anyone so I'd expect the police to take it seriously.

Eresh,
thanks for posting this, really impressive. PP comes across as calm, humorous, intelligent and factual.

aliasundercover · 25/01/2020 14:10

said that feminists had arrived on her doorstep and threatened to cut off her bits

Things that never happened

theflushedzebra · 25/01/2020 14:10

Jane advised that the violence went both ways and as an example said that feminists had arrived on her doorstep and threatened to cut off her bits.

No Jane Fae did not say that.

Jane Fae said that a man was trying to find out Fae's address, because HE wanted to roll up at Fae's house and chop off their bits.

Fae later apologised to Ditum for saying Ditum would support this.

Jane certainly did not say she reported the incident to the police. However, the discussion did become a shouting match as Jane refused to comment on the Oxford situation (the subject of the piece), but just repeated that the violence went both ways. Jane did, however, apologise to the feminist for having implied she was violent.

Then the LGBT representative from Orkney (?) rang in to say she had just had her "bits" cut off in hospital (using the correct term) and Nick decided any further discussion of the correct subject was not going to happen.

It was quite amusing in a Carry On sort of way.

Aesopfable · 25/01/2020 13:35

Dreamprincess I hope JF reported the incident to the police - did JF say what the police response was?

I take it Jane reported this to the police as an act of hate crime?

@GeordieTerf

Strangely enough I can help Snowy out here. On LBC - Nick Ferrari - yesterday Jane Fae was taking part in the discussion on protection for Oxford lecturer. Jane advised that the violence went both ways and as an example said that feminists had arrived on her doorstep and threatened to cut off her bits. (sorry for childish reference, but Nick had the courage to allow the correct term to be used). I find it hard to erase the picture from my mind …..

Aesopfable · 25/01/2020 13:30

Absolutely happy to condemn all threats of violence from both sides of the debate.

So snowblight you are happy to state that you condemn all threats of violence from TRAs? Or can’t you face actually naming them? You just hide behind ‘both sides’ to make it sound like they are both equally at fault.

GeordieTerf · 25/01/2020 13:22

@snowblight

When have GC feminists ever threatened violence towards trans people? Specific examples please.

Coyoacan · 25/01/2020 13:22

But you still aren't moved by what she is saying about transitioning children.

Coyoacan · 25/01/2020 13:21

Whao, snowblight, you have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Posie. I'm impressed
