I just love this woman! She undoubtedly has the Midas touch when it comes to marketing and publicity.

I have been to several of her events over the years, and she has time for each and every woman who comes to see her.

Any other fans here?

you're praising a women who seriously quoted Hitler and "Mein Kampf" yesterday.

So there's no quote, it wasn't even her, and the person in question is simply doing the (all-too-common) thing of comparing opponents to Hitler.

Although given that people are now lying about her, maybe that woman has a point about the lying?

Or can we go full circle and suggest that we shouldn't be associating ourselves with ArtixLynx and Miss Genderr, who are just as seriously quoting Hitler and "Mein Kampf"?

Seriously though, even if you are desperate to mischaracterise, why the blatant lie about KJK? Do you not know who Posie Parker is, so you thought that was her? Or you just repeated something you heard without checking? (Incredibly enthusiastically with 3 back-to-back posts!)

Maybe check at least once before posting three times?

Why do you think people with such vile approaches are attracted to her events?

To try to shut her up. To scream at babies. To shout abuse at women. To throw glitter in a woman of colour's hair. To rip flags out of women's hands.

No idea suggestions

Bet you've got loads of ideas though 🤔

She holds open mike events

Anyone can talk at them

She didn't say it

then someone needs to publically disclaim whoever that is.

That is BAD press for the movement.

The old.. if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck.
By letting someone use the open mic at rallys with her name on, and not speaking out against is, she is condoning it.

When you supply a platform for abuse, you are as bad as the abuser.

the video literally has her name on the screen during the speech! If that definitely isn't her, then she needs to address who's ascribed her name and find out who that actually is!

From Newcastle yesterday apparently!

RufusthefIoraImissingreindeer · 16/01/2023 15:31

Thanks artix

But KJK didn't say it...some random woman did

ArtixLynx · 16/01/2023 15:27

sorry, thought i'd quoted it in the previous post with the tweeters words, got distracted with ds coming home from school.

scuse the language in the tweet, but its the only one i can find offhand.

"Do you know the big lie? The big lie was first described by Hitler in Mein Kampf"

you're praising a women who seriously quoted Hitler and "Mein Kampf" yesterday.

Any thought of ever supporting that women was just lost. that is absolutely unacceptable on ANY fucking level. vile.

If you can't make your point without quoting one of the biggest murderers in history, then you've really lost the plot.

I've just looked and can't see where she quoted Hitler or mein kampf

Could you link to the actual quote please

ArtixLynx · 16/01/2023 15:02

and if you try and justify her clear and shocking antisemitism in this, you're as bad as she is.

ArtixLynx · 16/01/2023 15:01

explicitly and publicly adopting the tactic that was used by the nazis to facilitate the holocaust is reprehensible.

All these people that compare Posie to fascists seem to know an awful lot about fascism. And seem to like putting fascists back into the discussion, almost as if fascism is part and parcel of their daily interactions.

They all seem to know who these people are and when a 'fascist' appears for a selfie, they know all about them, as if they expect us to also know who all the fascists are. Almost like they know who all the current fascists are.

They are very fascist adjacent, more so than the average normie. Weird.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/01/2023 08:51

Or ...the name escapes me, she had a baby and left ...someone mentioning chromosomes and 5, 4 ,3 ,2 ,1 she was there with her incredible scientific mind

BowlofBabelfish was lovely, and razor sharp in dismantling genderist nonsense.

What response did that get?

Quite a heated one…

undoubtedly some women find them more comfortable but lass especially so

Colonel Victor Barker

Victor Barker the famous transgender fascist? Seems unlikely that Posie will be categorised alongside a transman…

Unless you are being a bit t**fy and you yourself are classifying Victor as a woman?

EastLondonObserver really is the gift that just keeps on giving!! 😂

I have probably missed some in this thread so apologies if full credit is not given.

There was the always-welcome reminder that the best argument ever for "Transwomen are Women" is "Because arm creases" courtesy of "Katie-from-Wales" 😂

Now, an introduction (at least to me) to the extraordinary "transgender fascist" Colonel Leslie Ivor Victor Gauntlett Bligh Barker, christened Lillias Irma Valerie Barker, adopter of numerous other aliases, un-earned military ranks and self-identified aristocratic titles.

Thank you so much TheClogLady for explaining who that person was! 💜

Following up that story took me down some fascinating rabbit-holes. I won't derail by detailing them all here.

One that is worth mentioning for contemporary relevance involves DH Lawrence.

DH Lawrence cited the fraudulent marriage between "Victor Barker" and Elfrida Haward when arguing that young women might avoid becoming victim to "sex by deception" if only they were to read "Lady Chatterley's Lover" at age 17!

He also suggests that "there are thousands of women today who might be so deceived, and go on being deceived". Mmmm . . . "might" doing a lot of heavy lifting there!

"When we read of the case of Colonel Barker, we see what is the matter. Colonel Barker was a woman who masqueraded as a man. The “Colonel" married a wife, and lived five years with her in "conjugal happiness”. And the poor wife thought all the time she was married normally and to a real husband. The revelation at the end is beyond all thought cruel for the poor woman. The situation is monstrous. Yet there are thousands of women today who might be so deceived, and go on being deceived. Why? Because they know nothing, they can’t think sexually at all; they are morons in this respect. It is better to give all girls this book, at the age of seventeen."

DH Lawrence, "A Propos Lady Chatterley's Lover", 1929

(Whether Elfrida thought she was marrying a man or a woman is another matter altogether. Nobody knows for sure because both she and "Victor" changed their tune so many times.)

To return to the purpose of this Topic: I really appreciate Kellie-Jay Keen (AKA Posie Parker) travelling around the UK (and the rest of the world), simultaneously encouraging women to speak out in public and exposing the misogynistic mobs, who try to silence those women, as the real fascists.

Sunday 15 Jan she was in Newcastle upon Tyne. The speeches were as outstandingly informative and moving as ever. The raging protesters as ludicrous as ever.

Thankfully only one act of violence - the woman attacked was not harmed and she pinned her male assailant down in a bush until the police arrested him. 💪🙆

The police did a great job keeping the mob at a distance BTW. The attack happened after the event as everyone was leaving. Two men tried to wrench the beautiful banner she had made off her and pushed her onto the ground. Big mistake! 😂

The sound in the first video here is a bit sketchy but the second one is great!

I fully expect there to be statues of her in capital cities! Along with JKR and other heroes.

Do you ever look back at history and think, how would I have reacted? For example, would I have been a suffragette, a suffragist or done nothing? It's easy to speculate and view ourselves in a positive light in regard to how brave or outspoken we would have been. Right now in the battle to preserve Women's Rights Kellie -Jay is one of those rare, brave people who puts thoughts into action and stands up for what is right knowing the sacrifice she is making, knowing that every horrible slur that could be thrown at her will be said repeatedly, knowing that everything she does will be twisted by TRAs. She is prepared to put her head above the parapet for all women and girls and take the hate. All she is doing is saying 'sex matters'. That's it. Nothing more, nothing sinister. I have faith that enough people with common sense will eventually wake up and see this but without KJK and the few other brave people like JKR and Graham Linehan who could easily sit back and say nothing, but choose to sacrifice so much, we would be sleep walking into the wholesale destruction of women's rights.

I think it’s more likely she’ll be remembered alongside Rotha Lintorn-Orman and Colonel Victor Barker.

Yes, was it bowl of babelfish or something? We called her baby ramekin

Yes that's it....could not remember the ramekin bit 😀
