Slightly off topic but related, yesterday I saw I really anti KJK article in the Daily Mail. Not sure that the DM has an actual policy towards her but the done is really hostile and quite contradictory to other articles.

Cops on high alert as controversial UK women's rights campaigner who has been slammed as 'transphobic' prepares to give speeches on tour of Australia
> Kellie-Jay Keen is coming to Sydney
> Controversial activist campaigns against trans rights
> LGBTQ+ groups are planning counter protests
Sorry dont have archive link and know some wont want to go to their web site www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11841991/Cops-high-alert-UK-transphobe-Kellie-Jay-Keen-prepares-speech-Sydney.html

But then I noticed that it was written for the Daily Mail Australia.

Is this the type of coverage she is getting down there?

Or wonder whether this in fact shows the influence of what may in fact be a fake group that was trying to tell feminists in Australia why they shouldn't attend any LWS events. www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4757046-feminist-left-australia-are-warning-women-not-to-attend-standing-for-women-events-with-kjk-because-the-tour-is-funded-by-cpac (apparenlty most of their article is taken from an NUS leaflet)

I saw the Morris dancers have posted on a Facebook Morris dancing page and have many likes for dancing in protest of the "anti-trans rally".

ARSE!
lol 😁

Tbh, i like Morris dancers as a rule, could watch them all day long but i'd make an exception for that band of numpties!

@MishyJDI " Lols. Like LGB, you do realise that trans is not hereditary.....
What they do to their own bodies to feel comfortable in life, is not going to impact future trans people being born..... "

It won't be their own kids though will it, not once they've had their reproductive organs removed/destroyed!

Anyhoo, well dones to the ladies of that there Sydney, Australia, stars, one and all. You were all great!

Anyone know when the next one is, UK time please?

Villagetoraiseachild · 11/03/2023 18:02

Aw, no offence @BananaBender .

Suspect my sleep deprived brain was reaching for Australasia.
You have to cut us some slack please, we're coming out of snow and watching this at 2am to 4pm in our morning time.

Hope you have a great meeting in Brisbane, whatever your weather.
Really looking forward to watching it.

'anti-women' activism

Yes, we should and there's no reason to not do that.

nepeta · 11/03/2023 16:58

Good to hear it went well.

I think we should start calling all trans activism 'anti-women' activism, because clearly this way of framing things is acceptable the other way round.

Tricyrtis2022 · 11/03/2023 16:25

I've been watching the Sydney event. Small but enthusiastic crowd and some very good speakers. Good to see a wide range in ages too. The first woman made a good point - she said that tw clearly don't really want to be women because then they'd be expected to sit down and shut up. Spot on.

I sent a link to the Glasgow event to a friend in her 80s, after she told me that she wants to get involved but was concerned that it would be all young women and she'd be regarded as too old. She was extremely pleased to find that there are many older women involved, something that shouldn't surprise us as older women have fewer fucks to give.

Boiledbeetle · 11/03/2023 16:13

I was glad to see the police kept the protesters away.

I was saddened to discover how bad it's got for women in Australia

BananaBender · 11/03/2023 13:05

For polyesters sake, they're in Asia, it's midday and 31 degrees.…

Australia not Asia. We’re our own continent here. Australasia or Oceania but not Asia.

Can confirm that the humidity in Brisbane has been bullshit today and it’s been showering rain on and off making it even worse. Natural fabrics only and wear some clinical strength antiperspirant.

Hopefully the Queensland Police will keep everything under control as well as the NSW Police did today.

Lols. Like LGB, you do realise that trans is not hereditary.....

What they do to their own bodies to feel comfortable in life, is not going to impact future trans people being born.....

Eek, did you laugh out loud at people destroying their fertility for this ideology?

I mean, crikey. Saying the quiet thing out loud again.

Villagetoraiseachild · 11/03/2023 12:52

Thanks @EndlessTea ! Watched it through, just surfaced, cant rock an allnighter these days but it was worth staying up for.

Those women were more than ready to unleash, no need to wind them up!
They were dynamite!

Brissy next but cant watch live, will watch Sunday arvo.

I really hope someone brings a decent parasol/popup gazebo thing from now on and that they break out the kaftans.
For polyesters sake, they're in Asia, it's midday and 31 degrees....
.Mad dogs n Englishmen go out in the midday etcetera
Am feeling fried just watching them!
Bit jeal not to be there tho.......

They reported on the apparent hate and transphobia from KJK on the Channel 10 Queensland 5pm news.

I thought it was rather ironic when a young trans man said people wanted to eliminate trans people considering that trans people are doing a pretty good job of that themselves by destroying their fertility.

OnlyTheWeedsGrow · 11/03/2023 11:09

Brisbane has been having temps in the mid-30s, with some rain and humidity too, so KJK might want to pass on the polyester in Qld!

Boiledbeetle · 11/03/2023 10:23

In Australia, wearing polyester and KJK is having to identify as someone who doesn't sweat!

It looks glorious over there, I would be a pool of overheated liquid on the floor by now!

Boiledbeetle · 11/03/2023 10:15

Just awoken. I shall watch now whilst I come round

I was there today and it was amazing. Fantastic to listen to so many women - left-wing, conservative, Christian, atheist, straight, lesbian - talking and supporting each other.

The police were also great and kept the TRA protestors a long way away so they were no bother to us. We all had a good laugh when the TRA's brought out their crack team of... Morris dancers.

So grateful to KJK and all the women who organised the event today.

Fantastic! Great to hear.

OnlyTheWeedsGrow · 11/03/2023 07:20

I am so glad KJK’s words and those of all the speakers were able to be heard so well, and their messages were so clear.

I am, of course, waiting for the captured media to report on all the “hate” KJK platformed (of which there was none)!

EndlessTea · 11/03/2023 07:11

Well done! I just watched the end this morning.

How amazing to see everyone show up like that. So much to say.

How many approx attended do you think? It looked like a lot were sheltering in the shade.

I just watched the feed and it looked like the Police kept a goodly distance between the groups. And the women were left to speak uninterrupted.

It was awesome to watch. And heaps of speakers and I think the women would have just kept coming up.

If anyone pops by who attended or spoke, well done !! Bloody brilliant !
