That inviting armed men into women’s spaces to ‘defend’ us is a batshit idea

The TRAs are jubilant because a person who is neither GC nor a feminist yet is constantly associated with these things has put up a lovely little video (since deleted) where she implores men who carry guns to start using women’s toilets to protect women from transwomen. I don’t even know where to start.

I know I will be shouted down because this person can do nothing wrong in so many peoples eyes, no matter what horrible stuff she comes out with. But this stuff basically pisses on all the hard work done to try to convince politicians and policy makers that this is a legitimate and important cause that is not based on hatred or violence.

Posie's point was (I think) that more men should be defending women's safe spaces.

It's funny, TRAs threaten feminists daily with direct death and rape threats, yet this is rarely called out? PP makes one joke in poor taste and we all need to denounce her?

Oh dear. Was this the video from last night?

Her point, I think, was that if men asked say, the teacher where the girls toilet was, if they were there for say a parents evening or something, when they needed the loo, it would point out how ridiculous it was that this is what the teacher is agreeing to. Self ID. in the same way that a boy in school does, whilst the students were there in the daytime, she was making a point about how ridiculous it is abs how it's going to get worse since Biden's Exec order and how we need more involved to help, inc men/fathers.

The gun thing I didn't get, I think she was joking, but it wasn't about men protecting us from trans women so much as Dads sticking up for their daughter's rights/privacy/dignity at school.

That's how I took it anyway.

I suspect she's taken it down because it's kicked off on Twatter and her message has been misunderstood or misinterpreted and she wants to correct herself in her next video (she has done similar before).

Guess we'll all be tuning in now!

How convenient that it’s been deleted so OP can’t prove it ever existed.

Posie Parker called on men to start using women's toilets?

I find that hard to believe.

That sounds a bit bat shit even for Posy. Have you got a link?

Okay, it’s Posie Parker who called on ‘men who carry’ (ie carry guns) to start using women’s toilets to protect women. It’s so frustrating because this is such a setback. It plays right into the hands of people who say GC feminists are hateful bigots who just want to harm trans people.

I've no idea who you are referring to, what exactly they said or why this person is somehow supposed to be connected to feminists.

Can you give more information?
