So unapologetic "There's a man called Will Thomas, who's changed his name to Lia Thomas". No pissing around with the TW descriptor, I used to think she was a bit much, now I think she's just right and very needed.

Can we have a thread to follow her US trip please, she had a great Speaker Corner outside the White House too.

To be fair many think Kelly Jay is a bit much in some ways. But, disagree with her on any other subject and you still have to acknowledge her absolute fearlessness on this one.

She won't be stopped, it seems. More power to her!

Is she gunning to get arrested over this for max attention? Fair play to her if she is. I think she's very brave

CeratopsofthePharoahs · 18/03/2022 09:12

Some people think she's a bit much, but you need someone who has the courage to stand up and point out the bloody obvious. The emperor has no clothes on!

Interstate the Trans Rights person keeps saying this is what Tech is all about. From my experience a lots of this is coming from tech!

Fair play to PP & heartening to see the support.

I was wondering about that myself, I wonder if she will get to the end of her trip without being arrested.

Susie Green had no idea what a force she unleashed when she poked this bear, that's for sure.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 18/03/2022 09:23

If she gets arrested there for protesting about Swimmer Thomas, the publicity will be quite prominent in the United States, I imagine?

Somanysocks · 18/03/2022 09:32

'Being a bit much' is sometimes the only way to get things done.

I'm not aware of her physically attacking anyone, now that would be too much.

As women we should be pleased with what she does whether you agree with everything she says or not.

StrawberryLollipops · 18/03/2022 09:37

I think Lia T winning the women's titles is a lot much. Too much for me to stomach.

I think KJ being a bit much and having ovaries of steel is exactly what's needed in the situation.

beastlyslumber · 18/03/2022 09:47

That's great. They should get Tucker Carlson to interview her while she's there, too. Go Posie!

AnyFucker · 18/03/2022 09:52

“A bit much”

Right. Woman who refuses to shut up, gotcha.

Keep it up, Kellie Jay.

"Cheat!"

She certainly didn't. Grin

I think she is fantastic. She's not "a bit much", she just telling the whole truth.
Brave and wonderful woman.

OvaHere · 18/03/2022 10:13

I'm not clear on how KJK can be a 'bit much' when faced with men cheating female swimmers out of places and medals and NHS hospitals are lying and gas lighting raped women.

If anything she needs to be more of 'a bit much'. We all do.

"Well-behaved women seldom make history"

DysonSphere · 18/03/2022 10:19

She has other opinions which can be perceived as a bit much.
But that's the other side of the coin with very forthright people.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 18/03/2022 10:27

My worry for her isn't her being arrested. I hope she's got good support from the women there and isn't going to land up getting smacked by a TRA.

My personal opinion is that this trip is CV and skills building. She's very media friendly, especially for the US where they love an accent and will assume she's a bit of an eccentric. And then she'll say "I never lose" and they'll be agog. If she can get a clip of something like she did with Harrop she'll have a career in politics or the media here.

Magdalen Berns told us to be brave. PP is exactly that.

Misstache · 18/03/2022 10:28

According to Twitter, she’s “stalking” Thomas (by attending a public swim meet) and “hurling transphobic abuse” (accurately saying that Thomas is a man.)

Her shirt took me all the way out. “That man is a cheat.” Someone has to say it. It’s absolutely disgusting watching Thomas beat Olympic medalists while sandbagging.

When she yelled “he’s a man” during Thomas’ post-race interview it was perfect.

ScreamingMeMe · 18/03/2022 10:32

Blimey.

GlitterBiscuits · 18/03/2022 10:33

More power to her!

Toseland · 18/03/2022 10:36

Go Kellie-Jay! I’ve been watching their protests on Save Women’s Sports and Known Heretics YouTube channels. If this is not defeated now this is the end of women’s sports - so no, under the circumstances it’s not a bit much at all. Well done to all those protesting.

ScreamingMeMe · 18/03/2022 10:37

Oh and in before the "aligning yourself with the right wingers!" start. Your shaming and guilt by association tactics are not going to work.

Owen Jones platformed someone who doesn't think CSA material should be illegal and who is a raging misogynist

Tirediam · 18/03/2022 10:39

She is brilliant! I love her on insta !

ATeamAmy · 18/03/2022 10:40

Being "a bit much", "not very ladylike" , " unnatural women" , all that sort of rhetoric was thrown at the suffragettes. They got things done. So does Posie. You might not like her. You'll probably be thanking her in a few years time, though.
