I love this. Particularly her point about cognitive dissonance.

I’ve put it on my facebook, I’m past caring whether people think I’m a terrible bigot.Star

NettleTea · 11/09/2018 20:07

Yup, I sent it to Graham Lineham, who retweeted it. Proud to have her as a friend

MawkishTwaddle · 11/09/2018 20:13

That's where I saw it, Nettletea. Tell her from me I think she's great.

That was very good, I hadn't seen any of her stuff before although I had heard of her

2rebecca · 11/09/2018 20:27

Am just 2 minutes in and am loving it. Bravo!

Fuck!!!! Say what you like about Posie (and plenty do) but that rant was sublime.

UpstartCrow · 11/09/2018 20:49

I got to 'that's not even the worst thing' and had to stop for a bit. And she was right.

Ekphrasis · 11/09/2018 20:55

Wow, can I nominate this for the next vagina monologues?

Many truly excellent points. Looking forward to the poster Poise!

terryleather · 11/09/2018 20:58

I feel like that much of the time tbh and who wouldn't when the world is filled with so much fucking bs.

I found that rant very cathartic.

Ekphrasis · 11/09/2018 21:03

I'm watching again and in stitches...

TWO pages, TWO! Front and back...

Facknats · 11/09/2018 21:05

Poise Parker. The woman. The legend.

PaleBlueMoonlight · 11/09/2018 21:08

This is amazing.

gendercritter · 11/09/2018 21:09

Brilliant, thank you

Cuntysnark · 11/09/2018 21:18

Every word resonated but I watched it with a stupid smile on my face. She’s fab.

ToeToToe · 11/09/2018 21:19

It's amazing.

She's eloquent - even when angry - an old-school feminist (rather than the man-inclusive ones.) I've admired her on here for years before before all this GRA stuff started, and she talks so easily about her experiences of womanhood and motherhood. You can see why the TAs hate her, and want to discredit her. And she just doesn't care. Marvellous.

Juells · 11/09/2018 21:32

Brilliant!

IAmLurkacus · 11/09/2018 21:38

Love Posie!

Great call to arms!

‘If you don’t know what my pronouns are, you may be a little bit simple’

And yes let’s include women in female spaces and make sure they’re all comfortable Smile

FloralBunting · 11/09/2018 21:45

Posie, I'd very much like to buy you a drink.

MonotonousSeagull · 11/09/2018 21:47

Fantastic rant. 😀

Love Posie.

deepwatersolo · 11/09/2018 21:55

Posie: 'You want everyone to know that you're centering transidentified males and nonbinary males?' Self-Identified-Feminist: 'Yes'

Brilliant. She made them say it out loud.

littlbrowndog · 11/09/2018 21:59

Fucker posie

Excellent

FloraHiggins · 11/09/2018 22:03

She is amazing Star

ShowOfHands · 11/09/2018 22:06

Being polite gets you nowhere. Brava.

theOtherPamAyres · 11/09/2018 22:13

I do hope that she follows up with official complaints to grant-making bodies who fund this shower.

I wouldn't want any of these creepy Stepford Wives to be anywhere near a classroom.

bottomflannel · 11/09/2018 22:13

That was a thing of beauty.
