Is it true KJK has been no-platformed by FiLia?

I don't think KJK has ever been interested in speaking at Filia has she?

But Fiona McAnena is not allowed to present Terf Island there because she included a chapter on KJK. It's all getting a bit silly.

Also Spinifex have been told they can't have Sheila Jeffreys on their panel. There will be a side event happening down the road.

(towards the end)

KJK wouldn’t need to go to Filia - her raison d’être is giving women a platform to speak. She doesn’t need to do that at Filia. However, I imagine a lot of women there would be interested to hear her speak - she has been very successful in making an impact.

Isn't "no-platforming" where an organisation invites someone, then changes its mind and withdraws the invite? AFAIK FiLiA has never invited KJK and she's never wanted to go, so I can't see how that would count as no-platforming.

Thoughts and prayers for Molly the Mog though @Sazzasez and I hope she is coping at this difficult time.

Aren’t feminists particularly prone to purity spirals? @ItsAllGoingToBeFine

There are always threads like this before Filia - even feminists aren't immune from purity spirals...

This thread is ridiculous. Why on earth would filia invite kjk? They have nothing in common. Kjk is only interested in being the star turn, she wouldn’t in a million years dream of being one of many speakers at filia

She hasn’t applied to attend or to speak. AFAIK she never has.

Nor has my cat, so can I claim they’re “no-platforming” Molly the Mog?

If FILIA are no platforming her, then I’m done with FILIA. KJK is the only
prominent figurehead who platforms ALL women.

I seriously doubt KJK would want to go to FiLiA. They have very, very different vibes.

I don’t think it’s true FiLiA is some kind of elite thing though, definitely not if you go. There’s so many women there from all over the world, and most are grassroots activists doing stuff to do with male violence. It’s not really about the big names, such as they are. I don’t think they are setting themselves up to define what other people must find important or to represent what women’s rights are either - it’s just a gathering of women who care about similar issues. No one is forced to attend!

This question seems to have been posed ahead of every FiLiA I’ve attended.
KJK doesn‘t really align. The whole point of FiLiA is is to platform lots of women’s issues equally rather than have a few grandstanders especially ones who say openly that they are not feminists. It‘s very much global and left leaning so I would guess KJK hasn‘t been ‚no platformed‘ in some grand gesture but rather that values are v different

The question is not whether they'll give her a platform - of course they won't.

The question is whether they'll have another session Voldemorting her, where the Women In Good Standing give oblique talks which never name the person they're obviously talking about.

Well it’s a feminist conference and she says she isn’t a feminist so not sure why they’d consider her? Not sure that counts as no-platforming?
