Kellie-Jay Keen (AKA Posie Parker) appreciation thread

[TotallyTERF]

I just love this woman! She undoubtedly has the Midas touch when it comes to marketing and publicity.

I have been to several of her events over the years, and she has time for each and every woman who comes to see her.

Any other fans here?

Is KJK still banned on here? I know Twitter have finally reinstated her after a lengthy ban.

If she isn't it's time that she bloody well was. Nothing she ever said was wrong or deserved a ban.

Is she the one who hangs out with anti LGB groups? Surprised she’s popular here.

Regardless of where you stand on trans issues, there’s plenty of reasons to dislike this right wing horror:

In February 2019, Keen traveled to Norway to speak at a red-brown Mot Dag conference alongside Hans Jørgen Lysglimt Johansen, a far-right Norwegian politician and Holocaust denialist, who she took a selfie with. Keen later said she didn't know who Lysglimt was.[2][42][43]

Keen has described Emily Zinos as "fabulous". Zinos is a member of the far-right Minnesota Family Council and believes that contraception and abortion "have an immediate destructive effect on society."[43]

According to Media Matters for America, Keen has repeatedly expressed support for far-right English activist Tommy Robinson.[2]

In October 2019, she appeared in an interview with Jean-François Gariépy, a far-right YouTuber who calls for a "white ethno-state" and has made videos with neo-Nazis Richard B. Spencer and Mark Collett as well as former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Keen later stated she did not realise he was a white nationalist. She also gave an interview to Soldiers of Christ Online, later stating she wasn't aware it was linked to the far-right,[5][44][6] as well as an interview with Sebastian Gorka, previously Deputy Assistant to the President for Donald Trump.[10]

This is an appreciation thread. Not a spread unfounded rumours in an attempt to smear KJK with guilt by association thread.

Oh. Hang on. Is ELO attempting to gatekeep women’s support of another woman through spreading of polarizing misrepresentations?

Well, I am surprised!!!!

I appreciate the concerns of her detractors.

She can’t seem to stay away from right wing nut jobs.

Go and start your own thread please.

Lol. If she's so concerning to you, that she's making you write reams of complete bollocks, then she's doing something right, EastLondonObserver.

and she knows it.

Or is it the other way around?

Have you ever met her? Have you ever talked with her?

Could it be that those you are associating her with to portray her as aligning with them, are people she seeks to simply discuss this single issue with? Without changing her own political alignment.

Amazing isn’t it? That an adult can have a discussion with people on one issue and not change their views on that or other political viewpoints, but still get their own views heard!

Or, even better! Hold events where people from ALL political viewpoints can come and listen and if they are female, they can talk!! Imagine that!

How about this one? That an adult can admit to finding someone to be pleasant company in other aspects while abhorring their views on other things! (You even said on another thread that you think taking to us over a beer would be different!)

I know, right ! Adulting. It is difficult for some.

As she said the other day, she turns up and everyone does.

So, she turns up and right wing people and trans extremists all come to her.

Yep. Living in ELO's head rent free.

They just can't help themselves

I listened to her on Triggernometry yesterday

I do enjoy the way the chaps can’t get their heads around the fact that she feels no obligation to spend energy solving men’s problems

they constantly go on about men who enjoy role playing as women in being vulnerable in men’s prisons, and Posie’s like ‘yep. Not my problem’, and it just blows their minds every time

She was brilliant on Triggernometry.

It's so revealing, isn't it? The number of times we've been asked to solve the bloody problem.

And the answer is no, you solve it, and piss off out of our spaces while you do it.

What was her career before she became an activist?

The number of times we've been asked to solve the bloody problem.

And the answer is no, you solve it, and piss off out of our spaces while you do it.

Ahhh... the number of times male posters were gravely offended by that. I remember the ones who then tried the twisting of 'but I should be able to stay in those spaces'! Even while acknowledging that women and girls were never asked, males just gave each other permission, and that there were issues with safety. BUT... then tried the emotional manipulation of 'but I feel unsafe anywhere else and it will take time - just in the meantime I should be able to feel safe and stay'.

Fuck! If all those lobby groups had started from the position of seeking an equitable solution to start with, this issue would be well and truly fixed with third spaces.

Indeed. Why is it women's 'problem' to solve the issue of self entitled demands of men, and to their own detriment?

She's played you lot. An absolute charlatan. Kerching.
Oh and I'm a gc feminist and working class. She does not speak for me.

She's played you lot. An absolute charlatan.

Why do you call her a charlatan?

I like her no nonsense style, the way she sticks to the facts, refuses to be derailed. Most of all, I like her exasperated eye rolls, when interviewers pretend that she's said something she hasn't actually said. They do it a lot....

Is she the one who hangs out with anti LGB groups? Surprised she’s popular here.

Lol at the faux ingenuous posting.

I'm also working class and she's not trying to speak for me. She's encouraging me to speak too. That's what many people don't seem to get.

It is perfectly fine to disagree with her. I think however, believing that she has ‘played’ us is laughable.

Anyone who listens to KJK knows perfectly well they are not going to agree 100% with what she says while still supporting her initiative and her achievement in giving a platform for others to speak.

It is strange though that so many people try to portray her supporters as believing her to be some kind of messiah. It really misses the whole point.

If KJK retired from the public eye, the groups that formed due to her initiatives would remain. Across the world. She is human. She spread the word in such a way that women understood. She has had some missteps, but she is not a charlatan.

She is not selling something that is fake or flawed. She is encouraging people to find their own honesty.

She is wholly genuine in what she does to promote women's sex based rights, child safeguarding and freedom of speech, whether people approve of how she does it or not.
