Kellie-Jay Keen (AKA Posie Parker) appreciation thread

As she said the other day, she turns up and everyone does.

So, she turns up and right wing people and trans extremists all come to her.

Or is it the other way around?

Have you ever met her? Have you ever talked with her?

Could it be that those you are associating her with to portray her as aligning with them, are people she seeks to simply discuss this single issue with? Without changing her own political alignment.

Amazing isn’t it? That an adult can have a discussion with people on one issue and not change their views on that or other political viewpoints, but still get their own views heard!

Or, even better! Hold events where people from ALL political viewpoints can come and listen and if they are female, they can talk!! Imagine that!

How about this one? That an adult can admit to finding someone to be pleasant company in other aspects while abhorring their views on other things! (You even said on another thread that you think taking to us over a beer would be different!)

I know, right ! Adulting. It is difficult for some.

Lol. If she's so concerning to you, that she's making you write reams of complete bollocks, then she's doing something right, EastLondonObserver.

and she knows it.

Go and start your own thread please.

She can’t seem to stay away from right wing nut jobs.

I appreciate the concerns of her detractors.

Oh. Hang on. Is ELO attempting to gatekeep women’s support of another woman through spreading of polarizing misrepresentations?

Well, I am surprised!!!!

This is an appreciation thread. Not a spread unfounded rumours in an attempt to smear KJK with guilt by association thread.

Regardless of where you stand on trans issues, there’s plenty of reasons to dislike this right wing horror:

In February 2019, Keen traveled to Norway to speak at a red-brown Mot Dag conference alongside Hans Jørgen Lysglimt Johansen, a far-right Norwegian politician and Holocaust denialist, who she took a selfie with. Keen later said she didn't know who Lysglimt was.[2][42][43]

Keen has described Emily Zinos as "fabulous". Zinos is a member of the far-right Minnesota Family Council and believes that contraception and abortion "have an immediate destructive effect on society."[43]

According to Media Matters for America, Keen has repeatedly expressed support for far-right English activist Tommy Robinson.[2]

In October 2019, she appeared in an interview with Jean-François Gariépy, a far-right YouTuber who calls for a "white ethno-state" and has made videos with neo-Nazis Richard B. Spencer and Mark Collett as well as former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Keen later stated she did not realise he was a white nationalist. She also gave an interview to Soldiers of Christ Online, later stating she wasn't aware it was linked to the far-right,[5][44][6] as well as an interview with Sebastian Gorka, previously Deputy Assistant to the President for Donald Trump.[10]

Is she the one who hangs out with anti LGB groups? Surprised she’s popular here.

Is KJK still banned on here? I know Twitter have finally reinstated her after a lengthy ban.

If she isn't it's time that she bloody well was. Nothing she ever said was wrong or deserved a ban.

I love listening to KJK. It is just such a relief to hear her speak. I feel like I can breathe again when I hear her thanks to her honest language and the moral code she presents of dialogue with all parties, avoiding purity spirals, genuinely caring about and listening to ordinary women, an unwavering dedication to protecting children.

The language of gender identity and queer theory is so suffocating and silencing. KJK brushes it all away and brings fresh air back.

I think Posie is incredible. She must have endless energy plus she has I think 4 children!

I think we can all agree, Posie's milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

Some people be like 'Triggered'.

But @A580Hojas as a left wing WPUK supporting feminist you decry any affiliation with the 'right', right?

So we know that Julie Bindel as also one of you socialist feminists has written 40 something percent of her articles - her job - for right wing media

Surely if you have an ounce of integrity within your body you'd denounce her too?

Or is this one rule for you and one rule for another?

I sincerely doubt you will respond to this but you should know that whilst you protect traitors like Bindel your movement loses integrity every single day.

Shame on you

I think she is doing a great job. I have been shocked by the women who have criticised her. I can’t figure out what is the problem. Is it because of the film? (Competition for the film coming out now?) Is it because she might stand to become and MP and they don’t like that she might reach more people in scale?

Personally we need people working on this issue from every angle. Academics and activists. KJK is an activist and has achieved what she needs to.

Listening to women has helped me decide what bothers me the most and get it clear in my head. Children can’t consent. Sport needs sex categories for safety. Women aren’t shields for men. We are allowed to say what we see, perpetuating a lie is not kind.

Bloody love her

Kelly Jay must be knackered after touring in USA, what a brilliant job she is doing. There is no free speech in America and she us highlighting that. When is she back in UK?

Are you on the right thread @A580Hojas ?

I'm a proudly left wing feminist and remain so (huge shame about the current Labour party). I align myself more with Woman's Place UK than Posie Parker.

Thinking about this a lot and I am probably stoking the coals but here goes.

I saw Jane Clare Jones and Julie Bindel criticise KJK this week, for the last weeks, for the last few months - horrendous despicable behaviour. They have descended in to a purity spiral.

Hear me out.

KJK has been condemned by hiring apparently right wing security for one of her open mic protests.
KJK has been condemned because a Proud Boy asked to take a selfie with her at an open mic protest.

Now, we have lots of leftie socialist feminists pontificating on the dangers of women affiliating themselves with the 'FAR RIGHT'.

Then why aren't they condemning Julie Bindel for earning her keep from the right wing press?
It's not just a selfie or paying someone to keep them safe. Bindel is being PAID by the right wing!

I looked up Bindel's journalism

Left Wing
The Guardian - 429 articles

Right Wing
Daily Mail - 35
Spectator - approx 95 (Editors fast tracked to Tory Cabinets from here)
Telegraph - 26
The Critic - 50 (home of Toby Young)

Basic maths shows that the Head Girl of Socialist Feminism has had 47% of her keep paid for by the Right Wing. (And I've not checked the Mirror or the Sun but I'm sure she's there).

We know that the Daily Mail have a long affiliation with facists like the Proud Boys. So why does Bindel get out of this with a jail-free card? She's written 201 articles for right-wing press?



What she is doing is so important and I just don’t get the hatred. I have my theories, but it doesn’t make any sense. This video is a nice, easy watch, without any aggro so far as I have watched.

Loudon County:

Same :) We have to look out for one another in this fight.
