Posie Parker is just in make-up and about to go up against Mr Harrop. Please tune in and send her lots of good vibes!

This springs to mind...

Well done Posie!

And slightly off the point, but both the sky interviewer and the Times article said that the poster read: “Woman. Women”, but it didn’t, the second word on the poster is the phonetic spelling of woman, you know, like it how it does in the dictionary definition!

Letshopeitsallok · 26/09/2018 22:09

It ice the tongue thrusting before and after he starts to say “target”, it’s like he’s pushing his words out of his mouth.

cheminotte · 26/09/2018 22:11

Well done Posie

CircumzenithalArc · 26/09/2018 22:15

Any YouTube links??

AyeRobot · 26/09/2018 22:17

I noticed that too Letshopeitsallok. No wonder we're where we are if journalists can't find their way around a dictionary.

Just watched it again. Nothing more joyous than watching a strong intelligent woman make an inadequate, woman-hating man squirm.

MrGHardy · 26/09/2018 22:26

"' How many women have you threatened to report to their employers', he replies 'I have targetted...' then stops, clearly realising that admitting he 'targetted' women is not wise and that this in fact is an admission"

To be fair, he can easily claim, and it could actually have been what he was going to say, "i have targeted no one". But you are right, he probably was going to say something like "i have targeted vile transphobic terfs because they kill poor trans people".

TerfedOff · 26/09/2018 22:37

I think this is a YouTube link

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 26/09/2018 22:41

Just watched the bulk of it on reddit GC

Remind me never to get into a discussion with posie... pretty much ever

Even if its a discussion on something i am an expert on...like the contents of my fridge

I think i pretty much agree with everyones comments Grin

Tara Hewitt discussing the unfairness that they don't get a voice discussing #adulthumanfemale. Perhaps not happy with the good doctor's performance there....

Try again.

AyeRobot · 26/09/2018 22:45

Mememe. It's not about you, Tara. That's kinda Posie's point.

breastfeedingclownfish · 26/09/2018 22:45

Posie is 'gender conforming' and looks fucking brilliant

Linda Bellos is 'gender non conforming' and looks fucking brilliant.

Both fucking brilliant women.

Howcansanepeoplesaynothing · 26/09/2018 22:46

Chapeau, Madame.

breastfeedingclownfish · 26/09/2018 22:49

Yes, and this one, with no awareness whatsofuckinever

Harrop was a good spokesperson when he was working to your benefit?

I suspect our eminent dr will be feeling the chill.

They are all missing something we have.

Solidarity.

They are all out for themselves- we are out for each other. That’s our superpower 😁

speakingwoman · 26/09/2018 23:06

Poise parker’s Performance reminded me of the footage of young Germaine Greer in New York.

PositivelyPERF · 26/09/2018 23:15

That’s brilliant and so true.

FloralBunting · 26/09/2018 23:19

Just showed it to DP. He's got a potted understanding from me, and he knows it's important to me and EldestBunting, so he's reasonably respectful, but it's not his fight as far as he's concerned because he's a bloke.

But he thought Posie was like a kick-arse Marilyn Monroe and 'the bloke was trying to sneer at her' and he doesn't like bullies.

Oh, and Harrop definitely said 'Target'.

arranfan · 26/09/2018 23:24

it's not his fight as far as he's concerned because he's a bloke.

The rise of totalitarianism is everyone's fight. See Jane Clare Jones:

I have been running around on Twitter for the last few months, saying, repeatedly, to pretty much anyone that will listen, that the trans rights movement is the most totalitarian thing I have seen in my entire life – and yet, somehow, I still don’t believe, even though we are so far off the political map of normal, that any of this is really happening. That, for all the political complicity, and manifest misogyny, and the incessant, day-in-day-out, drum beat of violence and disrespect aimed at women, that we are seriously in a position when feminist women could be ejected, en masse, from the global public square, for saying that female people are oppressed as female people and that that matters. Even though I know, and have been saying, for the last five years, that the fundamental structure of trans rights discourse threatens to make feminist speech unsayable, I still somehow don’t believe that they are really trying to frame a policy to make us stop saying it. And yet, I can’t help coming to the conclusion that they really are. For those of you out there still sitting on the fence, or who still believe that I, and everyone opposing this ‘civil rights movement’, is just a nasty evil hate-mongering bigot, please, if you give one shit about women and the protection of women, wake-the-fuck-up. This is actually happening, it’s scary as shit, and we may well be running out of time. This is what woman-hating totalitarianism looks like. This is not a fucking drill.

FloralBunting · 26/09/2018 23:34

Oh, totally agreed. But getting through to your average fella is a tall order for all sorts of reasons, and my DP and I used to believe that I needed to run my voting choices by him because we believed in 'the family vote', so he's had even further to come than the run of the mill UK man. But he's seen me get angrier and angrier, and begin stepping and speaking out, and seen the impact on our family of these issues. So he's waking up.

KatVonGulag · 26/09/2018 23:43

Oh that was joyous.

The hateful man got nailed!

breastfeedingclownfish · 26/09/2018 23:44

Totally agree with Jane Clare Jones

also, the bizarreness of the flyinglawyer BS and Glinner

Basically, one account appears to have found 'ishoo' with the good lawyers background. Glinner retweeted and said person has unleased the dogs on Glinner and his wife. This is full on war for anyone who speaks out on this, and for anyone associated with them. I honestly have never seen anything quite like it

I will still be wearing my t-shirt when it arrives and self identifying as warm.
