Courting the far right is wrong....

[OneTimeThing]

...if you follow that with a ‘but’ to justify Posie Parker’s courting of the far right, then you are a fascist.

I said I would only post one thing on this board. I kept that promise.

But this is the pits right here. Posie Parker is seeking funding and making deals with white supremacist, crypto fascists, misogynists, homophobes and racists. How does this not show you what your movement is and has always been?

You need to look at yourselves. If your response is anything other than total rejection of posie Parker and all the groups she is involving herself with, then you are just as bad. If you think that trans people/‘trans activists’ are worse than Tommy Robinson, ultra trump supporters and others who spew far right views then you are a racist, sexist, homophobic nightmare. Those labels equally describe what a person is as well as what a person does.

“But what about TRA’s?” Some of you will want to scream at me.

You don’t see Paris Lees going off to get funding from literal fascists. Hell, Caitlin Jenner votes for trump and the global trans community has never and will never forgive her. And either way, none of what “they” do will magically make it okay to go suck up to people that think gay people should be sterilised or that Muslim’s are evil.

Transphobia is revolting. It’s wrong, and it comes as no surprise to hear that transphobia (which most of you peddle right here) will eventually push people towards other kinds of hate.

Take a long hard look at yourselves. I’m a transgender woman, a mum, and I hope at least some of you are seriously thinking about what kind of person you want to be.

Fuck I missed a breakfast thread. And I had 3 today.

Well I remember that I have some Camp Coffee in my cupboard for making coffee and walnut cake!

I apologise for assuming Verbs and implying I thought it was something of the past.

I tried to explain those to non-Brit DH once. He looked deeply suspicious.

I also would not trust any TRA to define fascism, since their definition of fascist seems to be "anyone who disagrees with us"

That

"Mum's a fascist because she won't let me smoke in my room or paint the walls black"

How does this not show you what your movement is and has always been?

Doesn't work like.

For comparison, I think Jeremy Corbyn has a worrying tendency to associate with dodgy extremists. However, it does not therefore follow that nationalising the railways is bad. (It might or might not be bad, but has nothing to do with Jeremy Corbyn's dodgy friends).

It does mean that Jeremy Corbyn might be a bad leader. However Posie isn't actually leading any movement and has no official position.

No, I think your aggressive use of verbs was literally and violently consigning camp coffee to an inferior position in the line up of store cupboard standbys!!!!

Why do TRAs always write like this? Half televangelist and half domestic abuser.

DH arrived home from work at 2am last night and has already gotten up and made me eggs on toast and a BLOODY MARY for breakfast.

He’s also walked the dogs and has now left for big Tesco.

I’m still in bed. I like today.

Posie isn't leading anything, she like most of us are all doing our own thing.
I think this is what is so hard for the TRA's to grasp, this isn't something that's being lead it's thousands of people who are concerned about various aspects of an ideology.
There's no leader, there's not even a single direction or goal, just lots of people doing their own thing.

OP for what it’s worth, I agree with you regarding Posie Parker and the far right. I do find her behaviour abhorrent and bitterly disappointing.

But it makes no difference to the issue of male bodied individuals accessing female only spaces and putting women and girls at risk of physical harm and voyeurism.

Posie’s questionable ethics don’t magically make this quasi religious belief in gendered brains and wrong bodies either true or harmless.

Posie can sit at any table she chooses.
She is a strong adult woman speaking up.
And she will.

Good for her.

That is so apt.

I think the realization that most people don't agree with the basic TRA talking points is too scary for them to take onboard, so we must be recategorised as a mass of sheep being led by a few evil geniuses who they just need to eliminate and then they'll get everything they've ever demanded.

Substitute Terf for Fascist:

I'm happy to meet and discuss with camp coffee representatives as this is just a misunderstanding / typo / hacked account.

There are often threads on the feminist boards where women say they have been told that they can’t be feminists if they wear make up or high heels or like clothes and so on. It’s never actual real feminists who’ve told them this crap. It’s the people, like the OP, who police women’s words and thoughts.

What is Camp Coffee?

I remember trying to drink it and it was vile! 🤮

The op isn't coming back because they said they were only going to post once.

And once is quite enough.

Bourbon biscuit anyone?

what is camp coffee
I think it was created in the Victorian times as a cheap readily available drain cleaner.
But during the first world war it was sent to the troops who resorted to drinking it in the trenches.

After watching the Paddington Bear films (bless) DH has decided that he must try marmalade. Which I, the official Brit in the relationship, don't like. Which brand should I tell him to try?

That threatening individual Emily thingy also uses the word movement to describe women's sex-based rights that we want to be legally upheld.

As in, I'm going to ruin your movement.

The collective lack of self awareness is pretty spooky.

Well I have had breakfast so maybe it's time for (camp) coffee and a biscuit?

What is Camp Coffee?

It contains sugar, chicory extract and something called 'dried coffee extract'.

See also the 'climate change movement'.
