I wonder why Posie is sharing this story about allegedly homophobic Christians?

She's posted it without comment, but I can only assume it's because she approves of the removal of the app. After all the story has no mention of transgenderism, the concern is that the app implied that being gay is a 'sickness' and a 'sin'. The original petition against the app (there's a link in the story) also only talks about gay people, absolutely nothing about transgenderism.

Or that she disagrees with removing the app... or she is making a comparison between the removal of that app and the continued approval of the wife-tracking monitoring app Absher from Saudi Arabia that is used to track the movement of women.

You again.
Why don't you ask her?

Difficult to believe she would approve of it's removal seeing as she claims to be supporting gays and lesbians. Why would you have a problem with the removal of something that talks about them in such an unpleasant homophobic manner?

OP posts:
FlyingOink · 17/02/2019 00:12

She often posts articles she hasnt read and admits it.
It makes sense because it prompts debate and drives traffic to her page.
OP didn't you start a similar thread recently?

I think OP is running a series called "I wonder why Posie..."
OP, you were told yesterday that Posie is not on here, no one here speaks for her. Pop over to Facebook and ask her, she'll answer you.
And this thread will go the way of yesterdays as you are a GF

HTH Smile

I find it hard to take posts by someone using the name "antifa" seriously.

The antifa movement seems to me to be authoritarian, dictatorial, narrow-minded, extremist and straight out of 1984 and far more dangerous than the persons and movements they campaign against.

R0wantrees · 17/02/2019 00:21

Given theOP started a similar thread yesterday night which has been taken down, I'm not sure what they expect to happen with this.

Its a bit Groundhog day...

It's difficult to see what's goady about raising a legitimate point about someone who is a significant figure in the GC movement, someone who claims to be supporting gays and lesbians but who then posts stuff that raises certain questions. If Posie is posting it because she disapproves of the app's removal then that's not very supportive of the gays and lesbians she claims to be supporting. Labelling every post that you disagree with or are uncomfortable with as goady doesn't wash.

MN rules are intended specifically to enable robust civilsed discussion.

As was highlighted on our post last night, Posie Parker is not on this platform so perhaps you should direct your concerns to her.

She will likely clarify any misunderstandings etc

R0wantrees · 17/02/2019 00:31

apologies, should read, 'on *your' post last night'

TinselAngel · 17/02/2019 00:35

Raise your "certain questions" with Posie, and stop your transparent (and entirely misled) attempts to divide and conquer here.

AnyFucker · 17/02/2019 00:38

What the fuck are you asking us for ?

Bore off

It's interesting that if this was a post about a trans person, who probably also wouldn't be a member here, there'd be pages and pages of comments about how awful they are by morning.

Posie answers questions directed to her on her FB page. 🤷
But yes I think you are right thewitchofwentworth

You haven't raised any point as far as I can see. All you have done is comment that she has linked to an article. I'm not on Facebook so I haven't seen PP's Facebook page. PP is not a member here so you won't get a response from her here. Why don't you ask her via Facebook why she linked to It?

PrawnOfCreation · 17/02/2019 00:50

So, chicken shit? Yeah.

You a doctor by any chance?

They don't seem to be working.

Why don't you approach Posie directly?

TinselAngel · 17/02/2019 00:56

I wonder about a lot of things such as: how does the milk get in coconuts?

DioneTheDiabolist · 17/02/2019 00:57

I wonder why my sister is sharing a link for a Mexican restaurant? She doesn't usually eat spicy food.Confused

Does anyone on FWR know?

Tinsel I wonder why crows round my way always seem to have a domestic at 4.30am.

userschmoozer · 17/02/2019 01:00

OP; finding a random person and making them accountable is scapegoating, not justice.
