Posie Parker - brilliant rant

[MawkishTwaddle]

I love this. Particularly her point about cognitive dissonance.

Yep, IME blokes are much less likely to capitulate to this shit. They will say the right things in public to keep their jobs but otherwise it's the whole 'except for relationship purposes' all over again. Men are not afraid of having boundaries.
Also, Yes, men know what men are like, this:

And I finally had time to watch. Thank you Posie, never change!

I'm with Posie & want a reinstatement considered from MN please?

I think losing outspoken people like Posie is a huge loss to MN culture. Back in the day there were a lot of big characters pulling no punches, getting pretty robust - it could be electrifying at times (still can - but not if the TRAs have anything to do with it).

I love it when people are really emotionally connected to the words they are speaking and just flow. But the way everyone has started second-guessing and censoring themselves to conform to the guidelines it's slowly bleaching the place out.

Yes also had a reply that said we hear you, passing it up the chain to MNtiwers.

What guidelines are those?

Place marking

Perverse the pinned thread at the top of FWR. Basically makes discussion very, very hard without inadvertently committing an offence worthy of suspension.

On the day we've seen an article by James Kirkup about the Speaker of the House of Commons denying the request from an MP to discuss in Parliament how Karen White (a rapist) ended up in the female prison estate, I'd like @MNHQ to rethink their position.

Our voices are being silenced.

I appreciate your position of providing a platform to debate this, I really do.

However, the permanent bans for some posters - including Poise really grate. On my pp I explained I don't agree with everything she says - but that's what's always been great about MN. It's NOT an echo chamber.

@MNHQ please bring at least a candle to illuminate the debate here when so many lights are being snuffed out by men like John Bercow.

@FermatsTheorem can you link please as I can't seem to find it.

Thanks for reporting my post (a sentence I never thought I'd say).

I've done the same.

Thanks for the link. It's not good is it. I also had no idea that Ian Huntley is saying he's a woman. My breakfast is now threatening to come back up.

I’ll add my voice to others calling for Posie’s reinstatement.

It is sad to reflect what MN was vs how it is now wrt silencing of articulate posters

Please reinstate Posie, MNHQ. She's standing up for herself and for us. We need fearless women to be heard, not silenced.

I'm not up to date - did CPS ever get back to Posie? I thought the police said they wouldn't take it any further but didn't hear any updates on CPS. She's blooming amazing.

Nothing to add to all the wonderful comments already on here. Just want to keep the thread going for a while, because this is Posie at her absolute, wonderful best.
Mumsnets loss is YouTubes gain. This is a woman that should win awards for her work.

Another call here for Posie to be reinstated on MN. Please MNHQ.

Those of you asking for posie’s reinstatement, make sure report the thread or one of the related comments to make sure MNHQ hear our pleas

Absolutely love this, she articulated a lot of the thoughts that have been half-forming in my brain this year. What a brave woman. And how sad that I even have to think that she's brave, for speaking simple truth. Keep going Posie!

I would also like to see Posie reinstated.

This is a time when we need to have the backs of all women.

It's insane that you can be deleted and ultimately banned for saying Stephen Wood (aka Karen White)is a man.
Or can you?
Because that is "misgendering" surely, to call SW/KW "he"?
You can't have one rule for "real" non violent transwomen and one for "fake" transwomen who attack women. Either TWAW ( including violent criminals who manipulate the system) or they are not.

As far as being GC in real life, I'm with Posie. I don't give a fuck what people think. I'm telling everyone I know about this;the Green Party fiasco, men in women's refuges and prisons, the appalling loopholes being ripped open wrt to safeguarding children and the fact that MEN and not WOMEN are being consulted on women's safety and dignity.
And so far, in my real life, I don't get past SW/KW before they get it.
I don't work in the public sector though, but I used to, and I know how deeply his insanity has been baked into policy.
Actually most people on the front lines get it entirely-they do-and the more open we are about the truth of the situation the more other people will raise their voices too.

Reported my own post!

Watched this video again but with the old man last night and he got it. At first I think he thought: "Great, Friday night's normally music night and I have to spend half hr watching a GC rant"

He got it. He said Posie would be great in politics.

I wish she would start a party.

I'm smiling righr now at Posie tearing down the 'Terf' poster.

Posie, if you're reading, you rock. MNHQ please reinstate this account .

Posie is speaking at the We Need to Talk event in Manchester on the 28th of September.

Amazing Posie
