Kellie-Jay Keen (AKA Posie Parker) removed from IWD event by police

KJK set fire to my budgie and keyed my car while playing the Floral Dance on badly tuned set of bagpipes

Ooooh, that's your car, I thought it was Gregor from further up the road playing his pipes in the garden again.

Indeed. People with working moral compasses do have the most annoying habit of calling out those who spread division and hate, don't they?

I wonder why that might be... 🤔

Why is she ALWAYS doing this 😩

She was attacked by a violent mob of thugs in NZ, not “compelled to leave the country”. Not engaging further with anyone so disingenuous.

"Parker is infamous for her aggressive right-wing stance," only by people who post garbage like this, at every opportunity they get.

Give it a rest, it's the same broken record over and over again. 🤯

Did you witnesses this?

I'm surprised given KJK is an atheist that she would suggest God has any feelings at all.

It sounds like your friend has had a difficult life. It is a shame those around him are unable or unwilling to help him come to terms with the material reality of his body.

KJK continues to shine a light onto the misogyny of the trans rights movement. That a women's day event that a question of single sex spaces requires police presence it outrageous.

That's nothing. She gatecrashed my nan's 105th birthday party, blew her candles out before my poor nan could even get up enough puff, then she shoved my nan's cake in her face. My nan died there and then of buttercream suffocation. 105 years young, lived through the war, just to go out like that. Fuck KJK and the TERF horse she rode in on.

You can have my nan's rug though, if it helps?

Personally, I've no time for Posie Parker or for those who support her and I'm pleased to hear that Nottingham police took this stance.
This is not about silencing women, however much some people - including Paker herself - would like to believe it is; it's about the removal of a deeply repugnant figure who uses her platform to spread hate-speech.

Parker is infamous for her aggressive right-wing stance, her repeated praise of far-right figures such as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson), and her ties to white supremacy groups and ideologies (she has repeatedly written for right-wing publications such as The Spectator, is on friendly terms with neo-Nazi and holocaust denier Hans Jørgen Lysglimt Johansen, was interviewed by the far-right network Soldiers of Christ Online, and used a Barbie doll wearing a Nazi uniform as her profile picture on the social media site Spinster).
And those are just a tiny handful of examples; a full breakdown of her associations to the far-right would require an entire thread. Probably several.

Where anti-trans and women's rights are concerned, she's no less controversial.

Jean Hatchet, a genuine GC advocate and activist, cut all ties with Parker over her neo-facist affiliations.

Her hostile behaviour is so bad that Woman's Place UK - itself a group opposed to gender self-identification for trans people - had to cut links to Parker citing "her stated views on race and religion" as the reason.
Under pressure, that same group had to reiterate their continued distance from her in 2022 when they supplied evidence of her racist social media posts as continued justifcation for their position.

And let us not forget the overwhelming global opposition to the hate she spreads. After her Australian rally was attended by a large number of neo-Nazis (and not just ideologically; actual Nazi saluting neo-Nazis), her subsequent attempt to hold rallies in New Zealand was met with such opposition that Parker - rightly in my view - was compelled to leave the country.

So, in summation, I repeat that we should be very careful tying ourselves to figures like this simply because one aspect of what they're saying aligns with our personal beliefs.
She is not a champion of women's rights. She is a hate-filled, neo-Nazi sympathising, racist who feeds off controversy and then cries foul when society in general says "No, we are not going to accept you in our community".

Indeed.

It included "God hates you" (my friend is Christian and was re-baptised with their new name) and "your mother hates you" (I spoke to my friend's mother at the baptism and although I know she's struggled to understand my friend transitioning- I don't understand, I accept- she certainly doesn't hate her). Typically of transpeople, my friend is autistic and has mental health issues as it is, so the verbal abuse had a much bigger impact than it would if someone had said those things to me.

Omg 😂 I SWEAR I hadn't seen this when I posted mine.

You're kidding? She did the exact same thing to me AND she upset the budgie.

KJK is an atheist I believe so her referencing God in any way seems extremely unlikely.

Like that makes it ok?!

Asking women’s organisations if they only cater for women gets you removed by law enforcement in 21st century UK?? Wow.

Id be more surprised if she hadn't been kicked out for daring to ask about women's single sex spaces at an International Women's Day event, I'm more surprised that there weren't more men there.

I’m torn on this as I love guinea pigs but also, shamefully, like Coldplay.

I remember this. And no, she did not tell this person that God or his mother hated him.

If this is the friend, the interaction is nothing like what she was accused of. If the friend said those words represented the interaction, then there is a rather large issue with truthful representation here.

If it is not the interaction, I suspect this would be indicative of what she would say.

She broke into my house while I was in the bath and urinated on my rug. I was very upset because it really tied the room together.

Ffs. I don't for a single second imagine it will stop there.

Why did the venue claim to be a private premises when it wasn't ? I'm guessing so they could exercise some power that wasn't theirs?

"So asking a perfectly reasonable question is now an arrestable offence?"

Clearly not as she was removed from the event, not arrested.....

So asking a perfectly reasonable question is now an arrestable offence?

"She can be divisive but I admire her tenacity and she along with any other woman has every right to go to an event for women without facing harassment"

But it seems like she was allowed to attend, reportedly upset other women at the event so was then asked to leave by the organisers and refused to do so.

Don't the other women there have the right to attend and not to be "harassed" ( on camera ) by her?

She ate my guinea pig and forced me to listen to Coldplay, on repeat.

To go back to the original purpose of this thread. KJK was asking if women's organisations were actually focused on women or women and some men. And for this she and the LWS representatives were thrown out of the event. An event for women who had overcome all kinds of obstacles, violence from men mainly, but a woman asking questions was a step too far.
