I love this. Particularly her point about cognitive dissonance.

I support you Posie. Agree with every bloody word. Thank you for speaking out.

LittlePearl · 15/09/2018 16:35

I told my husband he might like to watch a bit..... he watched the lot, with a big grin on his face occasionally nodding vigorously and giving great belly laughs. I think we're both a bit in love with Posie......

I knew I hadn't seen posts from Posie for a while but I thought she was taking some time out. I can't believe she's banned. This is a travesty, MNHQ, can't you see how badly you've shot yourself in the foot with this one? You need to reinstate her, and fast.

Just watched the video, it is brilliant . I am usually a lurker but I feel so strongly on this I thought it was time I ousted myself. I am 67 and have fought all my life for women’s rights but it was not to have them tramelled into the dust by trans women [sorry Posie but it just came out. ]Female spaces are for women not for dicks. I was before retirement Head of Equality and HR couldn’t do it now would get the push as no way would I fight for trans rights at the cost of women’s rights. Feel inspired to go into action. MNHQ stop banning legitimate political discourse.

Just so brilliant - Posie has articulated everything so well and it's been cathartic just to watch the video.

My own ROGD daughter is a non-binary trans 'boi' (can't believe I have to write that ridiculous phrase!) and refuses to communicate with us any longer because we (as kindly and lovingly as possible) raised concerns about medication and surgery.

And because we dared to say people can't actually change sex.

Posie is right. You cannot win with those brainwashed by this cultish ideology. So we may as well tell it like it is.

Another who has just watched the video. Posie is awesome.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 15/09/2018 18:12

only just watched the video as I thought (correctly!) that it would be far too sweary to watch with my kids about.

god knows the only times i've engaged with posie on here we've violently disagreed. but she's fiercely intelligent, and articulate and funny.

why the bejesus are mumsnet banning contributors like that?

she should be here pissing me off

MajesticWhine · 15/09/2018 18:14

I've watched it too. Well said Posie.

Datun · 15/09/2018 18:45

And exactly how MN used to be.

High fives Bernard.

Yes. There are things I agree with Posie on. There are things I think she's totally wrong about. But I want her here to argue with.

Brilliant video Posie - everyone should see it

SleepFreeZone · 16/09/2018 10:44

My partner has just watched the lot too and walked down laughing his head off at the total fucking madness of it all. He kept quoting bits of the rant and shaking his head. Just brilliant.

Keep talking and showing the video to people. We’ll get there in the end.

PerverseConverse · 18/09/2018 15:42

Posie if you're still reading I've been banned from Facebook for writing something about that guy that's harrassing you. I can't use messenger either. Yet when I reported him for his offensive comments about you they didn't go against community standards.

heresyandwitchcraft · 18/09/2018 22:15

Bring back Posie

boatyardblues · 22/09/2018 10:01

DH just watched Posie's rant. Aside from saying every few minutes how much he was enjoying it, he turned to me afterwards and said: "I think I am as angry about this now as you are." Decent men will not want this for the women in their lives and will soon get very angry about this, once public awareness grows.

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 22/09/2018 10:08

Posie did a new Facebook live last night, though it was less ranty this time Wink

SchadenfreudePersonified · 27/09/2018 13:33

Haven't time to read now - just marking my place.

PerverseConverse · 27/09/2018 14:22

Poise is going to be on This Morning on Friday

ChimesAtMidnight · 27/09/2018 18:50

I've just watched Posie's rant - I'm sixty eight and, like Blackdogsrock have fought all my adult life for womens' rights to be equal with mens' rights. I'm so tired of the fight as we seem to be worse off now than in the sixties. All around me women seem to be being manipulated and brainwashed into accepting whatever men decide what's best for ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ us.
Thank you Posie for giving me renewed hope when I was beginning to think I'd lost the plot.

Cleanlines · 10/10/2018 17:18

Unashamedly bumping this. I’ve watched more than once and each time I get new points. She fits so much in. Posie’s mannerisms and humour with a bit of added swearing make this an entertaining and informative watch. Please watch if you haven’t already.

SSmith5 · 17/10/2018 03:27

Her youtube channel has been hacked. That's ironic as she has some videos called Let A Woman Speak

SSmith5 · 17/10/2018 03:37

There have been news reports of a man who was allowed to claim he's a woman even though he had man parts, to go into a woman's prison and attack them. People need to talk about those issues more than ever

paffuto · 20/10/2018 07:52

Just watched this again. Renews my hope every time I feel hope - less.

paffuto · 20/10/2018 07:57

Posie: Female speaking the truth for females, banned from female chat.?.!! Yep, world's gone mad.
