Posie Parker Ate My Homework

I'm not surprised by the vitriolic ranting against Posie, in a way it just goes to show how she's getting under the trans rights activist's skin.

I've seen everything from:
POSIE PARKER SECRETLY GOT RID OF A PERSON'S GCSE COURSEWORK!!!!!!
To
SHE'S SO UGLY SHE LOOKS LIKE THATCHER !!!!!!!!!

The daily fail even did a "disrespectful women" slant to an article on her.

www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6218395/amp/Blogger-billboard-defining-woman-adult-human-female-blasted-Morning-viewers. (If someone could tell me how to do clickly links I'd be grateful, I've even googled it, and still failed)

The heartening thing was the commenters on that post weren't having any of it.

I wish Posie was still here. Flowers for all the personal hate that's being sent her way. Debate her by all means, but its getting so low it's practically below ground.

yes, I'm not sure why the genderists hate Posie so much

but she is getting a disproportionate amount of shit. she's a strong woman but it must be wearing.

i've already bought one of your fabulous t-shirts and bunged a few extra quid your way Posie, but if there's anything else that can be done, just shout.

She put her head above the parapet and stood in front of the billboard, before showing up on radio and television.

She's a target.

Maybe because she demonstrates this issue is breaking out into the mainstream.

They want to stick us all in a box but really we are as diverse as womenkind.
I think they hate that.

The Mail article is I think more subtle than you give credit for. The Metro called her disrespectful. The Mail is reporting what was said about her without comment. I expect the comments on the Mail article will support her.

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 30/09/2018 10:34

I know. My appropriation knows no bounds Smile.

ChiaraRimini · 30/09/2018 10:35

Phew it's actually a relief to disagree with the Daily Mail, it was making me go all funny when they ran articles that were logical and fact-based.

LangCleg · 30/09/2018 10:39

I'm not sure why the genderists hate Posie so much

Because she is charismatic, populist and an excellent communicator who cuts straight through the feminists vs genderists bubble and speaks straight to Joe and Joanna Public.

This is a worst case scenario for them because their only hope of success is to keep it as a niche political discussion with most people ignorant of the practical consequences and implications. As soon as "civilians" understand it, the game is over for them.

NewWomensMovement · 30/09/2018 10:43

I don't know how those This Morning managed to get those wet comments. No one agrees that IW is a woman. A minority pretend they do to be nice.

The comments btl show that the article comes across as a 'non article'. Few shares, small number of comments saying basically "Posie is right, why is this an issue? The fact this is an issue is troubling."

It's obvious that IW gave the heads up to Mark Helen/Natacha Kennedy or some other ringleader in the information war against women whose minions were there, tweets to hand, before they even started the show.

No sane free-thinking person thinks IW is a woman. So they had some stooge tweeters prepared for their orchestrated, prepared piece on 'no one agrees with you Posie'. It was a crap conjuring trick.

Leaf "they" alone, "Everyone deserves to be who they want to be."

deepwatersolo · 30/09/2018 10:45

Posie Parker annoys them so much, because she does not mirror them at all. While feminists have traditionally affirmed that, yeah, patriarchy is shit to anyone who presents as female gender or generally, not the macho male gender (which is absolutely correct), you won‘t get that from Posie. No opening to be mirrored.

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 30/09/2018 10:46

They are annoyed by her because she's attractive and she doesn't give a shit. As my mum would say: They are just jealous Grin

dolorsit · 30/09/2018 10:49

I think Posie is very brave.

She knows that she has expressed views that will get her pilloried by both sides of this debate but she is still putting herself out there.

scepticalwoman · 30/09/2018 10:50

People have said before that this is now a very dangerous time for women. The antics of David & Amie Challenor, Jess Bradley, Karen White, Edward Lord, Philip Bunce are out there for people to see, analyse and judge. Women's groups are being heard far more. The lunacies of prosecuting Venice and Linda Bellos are being discussed, the girl guides, Manfriday - journalists across the spectrum are now writing about all of this. men are increasingly writing and commenting

The trans groups still have a strangle hold on local and national government (see Leeds city council stopping democratic debate the other day) and they are ramping up their efforts in that direction.

Posie has been brave and courageous and is taking much of the public flack for the progress that all women are making. I salute her alongside all the brave women leading campaigns, arguing and writing (and those men involved). They should all encourage us to redouble our efforts in talking to people whenever and wherever we can.

Floisme · 30/09/2018 10:54

To be honest I wasn't a huge fan of hers on Twitter but I think TV suits her much better. I like the way she doesn't try and ingratiate herself. She smiles only when she wants to. And she seems totally unflappable which is a huge asset on TV.

(And she wears some great clothes.)

GulagsMyArse · 30/09/2018 11:00

Yep she cuts through the crap and is willing to be unliked, 🙀 oh my God a woman who is not constantly massaging male egos.

Go sister.
I always used to say TWAW. I didn’t believe it. I did it because I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings and couldn’t see it did any harm. Most people I know are of this view, when discussing in private.

It was Miranda’s videos that changed my mind.

truth and biology !

deepwatersolo · 30/09/2018 11:10

Miranda Yardley rocks. I followed Miranda way before I had heard of Posie. Miranda is an incredible ally, really impressive.

ChiaraRimini Phew it's actually a relief to disagree with the Daily Mail, it was making me go all funny when they ran articles that were logical and fact-based

You should try re-reading that article. There is nothing in it to agree or disagree with. The Mail is reporting what others , including The Metro, have said. The article itself has no opinion.

You should also try reading the thread on here called "Purity". Your comment is exactly the sort of purity based, unthinking stance which is one of the reasons the left is in such a mess.

KatVonGulag · 30/09/2018 11:30

She is amazing. I support her in every way I can.

KatVonGulag · 30/09/2018 11:35

The mail could have chosen a different slant on the debate. They must know how their readers would respond. Report like this a with an extra splash of controversy and up go the reacts, generating views and advertising revenue.

If they'd just gone with "women defines biological sex correctly" not so provocative.

But lass I will read the purity thread.
