Kellie-Jay Keen (AKA Posie Parker) appreciation thread

Yes, I've been a long time admirer/fan of Posie Parker.
I've been around long enough to remember when she was banned from Mumsnet, and have seen enough threads on here about her usually descending into a total bitch fest.
Some people have a HUGE problem with her.
But she's desperately needed right now.

She's fantastic. She will not be intimidated or silenced - which is truly an admirable trait. She is the voice for so many women (and men) who are unable to voice these concerns in real life. I'm a massive fan.

She is the warrior we needed.

KJK inspired me to speak out, to call a man a man, and not to stutter and trip over my words and say 'transwoman' because I felt I had to. She reminded me to be brave, and fierce and not be scared to speak the truth. She took her talk to Brighton, with death threats, and stood in public and spoke out. I am in awe of her courage. I'm sure we don't agree on some things, but of course we don't because we are two different humans. That doesn't take away from all the amazing work she has done and the profound effect she has had on not only the wider discourse around woman-erasure, but on my own freedom of speech.

Fucking love u KJK. X

Agree with all of the above. She's great and has given me the tools to articulate my position in real life. She is amazing!

She inspires me to be brave and to speak in clear, non compromising language. Her Adult Human Female poster and teeshirt have become iconic. In every interview I've seen her in she is articulate and wipes the floor with her opponent. She has created a space for women to speak both in the UK and has inspired our American sisters to do the same. And btw, she said Biden would be worse for women than Trump, and she was right!

I think it is amazing she has been so resilient and resourceful. I mean - I would absolutely freak out if the police turned up at my door because of my tweets or someone posted my house and kids’ school online, but she hasn’t buckled. She’s coped with being kicked off almost all online platforms, coped with having that nasty WP statement made about her and being deplatformed by them. She’s always found a way to make things work.
She’s also really creative too - the billboard idea, the adult human female branding (that everyone is copying), the Speakers Corner events.

She is brilliant.

Yes. She’s my shero 💚🤍💜

KJK is an absolute powerhouse and is (imo) the woman who has made the biggest contribution towards getting the discussion off of Mumsnet, out of the hired church halls, beyond the niche podcasts and into mainstream view.

(apart from JK, of course, but then JK only has to tweet to make headlines!)

Yes, me. I admire her strength and confidence- she gives no fucks, takes no prisoners, and is never intimidated by the TRAs. She is very plain speaking, has no truck with pronouns or “be kind” and her events give a voice to ordinary women all over the UK.
My DD called her phone in, and Kellie Jay actually remembered her from the Edinburgh rally (DD runs Gender Critical Autistics on FB) and was really welcoming.
She is running a successful business off the back of this, with gc and feminist merchandise, but I don’t begrudge her that. The products seem well made - DD and I have mugs and t shirts. The more sunlight and publicity she can generate, the better.

Yes, I like her. I don't agree with her on some things but that's what I like. She's one of the few people in this mess who is willing to talk to anyone as well as let anyone speak.
Proper open dialogue from all sides is necessary to find resolution and she offers that.
If we wait until everyone finally agrees on everything, we'll be waiting a long time.
