In summary, regulators have found it accurate for the media to describe KJK as anti-trans and to say that she has the support of Nazis.

Yes, Posie Parker is anti-trans, media regulator rules

A media regulator in New Zealand has ruled that news organisations did not breach standards by calling Posie Parker anti-trans.

@AnSolas is it Nate, with Minion and the ducks. I find his voice strangely therapeutic, in small doses.

I am not anti-women, I am against transphobia. Most GC people are men, and the idea that you can use "women" as a synonym for GC people is laughable.

In addition, the vast majority of gay people, men and women, have a favourable opinion of transgender people.

The attached image shows the tweet where she said transgender men should be sterilised.

She has also suggested feminism should be abandoned.

Julie Bindel correctly said "I despise the latest tactics of Posie Parker and disciples, and want no part in it. As far as I am concerned, they are motivated by narcissism, bigotry, and ego. They are causing harm. THE END." Subsequently, Bindel seems to have changed her mind,. though she's never explicitly addressed it.

A full breakdown of her views, with links to the original videos is here. If you think she has been taken out of context - watch her videos.

Oh my…. This video again…

I did an analysis of this video on a thread… did you miss that thread?

Shall I post the analysis that I did, including transcripts for the bits this misogynist misrepresented?

If this is your level of critical thinking dadjoke, I now understand your posts much better.

Helleofabore · 14/09/2023 12:45

Gosh… @LizaBizza , you are providing us with such a great opportunity to bring out all our analysis again that shows the paucity and dishonesty behind all the claims associated with KJK’s trip to Australia and NZ.

Thank you. Have you disappeared or have you something meaningful to add to defend your posts?

I think "GC" is about your view of gender, so it's not the case that "most GC people are men". You may have a higher percentage of men that are against "trans inclusion" in women’s spaces, but that doesn't make them gender critical.

If males want to push their way into women’s spaces, when they know that they aren't wanted by a substantial percentage of women, and they know that they are going to cause distress to women, or a big chunk of women, can't that be described as "anti woman"? Is that not fair?

I wonder if dadjoke will make a coherent reply to the testosterone during pregnancy issue. Or is he now stuck with also appearing ‘anti-child’.

Because we need to use the same logic and low bar of proof that dadjoke is using after all…

Did you ever come back and tell us how in 2022 Rwanda got to be sixth on this list when it is a country that is in the bottom 50 countries for women dying in childbirth? When they have an entire section dedicated to 'Health & Survival'?

Yet you declare this index as meaningful in judging how well women are doing in the world?

Do you understand that this is not an assessment on how well women are doing in general in a country, but on whether female people are doing as well as male people in a particular country?

That a country may have a low attainment in education overall, but that female people are doing just as POORLY as male people.

Do you understand that?

You have tried to use this list for something that it is really not. And to do that requires every person reading your posts to ignore all the obvious fucking discrepancies in it. And ignore the glaring fucking obvious fact that there are some fucking doozies in the list after the countries you wish to lionise.

note to readers: I am sure you don't need to be reminded... but always look further at the data including at the countries that Suggestions want you to focus on while ignoring the others. And always look at how the data is pulled and shaped into such an index.

So, let's get to evaluating this.

Please can you explain how Rwanda was in the Top 10 last year? That would be a great start.

Tell us why you think Rwanda is a great place for female people and how well they are doing?

Did you ever come back and tell us how NZ with such an appalling record in violence against women and children hangs in there in the Top 5? Oh.... and expect NZ to drop because they no longer have a female head of state. Because.... ta da... having a female head of state is one of the measures that is considered in the algorithm in creating this. This is a major, major part of what they use for the 'Political Empowerment' information.

In fact suggestions, expect ITALY to go skyrocketing up this index in 2024! Because female head of state features pretty heavily in my memory. Imagine that!!!

So, getting back to that VAWAG, how was it in 2022 that Namibia, Nicaragua and Rwanda with women not even bothering to report violence against them to be even registered are in the Top 10? In 2023, Nicaragua and Namibia are still in the top 10 with Rwanda now at 12th.

Hell, this year's report noted that MALTA had a substantial jump in women in Parliament . MALTA! It jumped 15 places this year ! I mean it is number 70 still, but was rewarded by that jump of 15 places.

Do you remember how they compile 'gender equality' data based on roles? They are using "LinkedIn' information. They are not detailing what % of the workplace they think this covers, or what % of people keep this up to date or what % increase in 'female people taking on roles' is just women joining LinkedIn for the first time or updating their profile.

I certainly haven't plugged in my 'skills' etc on LinkedIn, yet, this is what they are using. It will certainly bias countries who rely on LinkedIn for recruitment won't it? In fact... it will certainly produce a bias to women who are in positions in Multi national organisations or in any organisation that they feel benefits from them having some kind of LinkedIn profile. And forget about the women who have experienced a lifetime of negative sexist discrimination and don't publish that they are female in their employment profiles. All those other women, nah... you don't get counted. (I have quite a few female friends in senior management positions who do not use LinkedIn at all, so it is rather a hit or miss measure in my experience)

They are not using government collated, checked and published sources. Why not?

While this is maybe a useful tool for some people, it simply does not represent what you keep telling everyone it represents. What is fucking bizarre, is your adherence to posting it on thread after thread as some kind of fucking gotcha.

This is a very well-respected report that is referenced by governments, large public health organisations and womens rights organisations internationally.

They make use of International Labour Organisation stats - why have you not referenced that?

https://www.ilo.org/global/lang--en/index.htm

Of course they will use a variety of sources to cross-check their findings and look for consistency and I think the use of LinkedIn is quite innovative actually, as that is an individual directly recording their own status, compared to company or government information which could have flaws in different ways.

Is it perfect? No of course not, no style of measurement and no data can be.

But is a very credible and very well-thought of effort to measure the gender gap along important dimensions.

Yes... sugggestions LinkedIn is all about self reporting. I can see how you view this as being robust data....

Is that just like the BBC fact checker who was caught lying on their CV....

And you talk about 'bizarre'....

MavisMcMinty · 14/09/2023 13:04

If being pro-women is “anti-trans” then being pro-trans must be “anti-women”. And that’s because there’s a conflict of rights. As a woman, the original non-suffixed type, I’m on my side, and if that makes me “anti-trans” I’m fine with that, not being in the womanly habit of subjugating my needs for the needs of men.

MargotBamborough · 14/09/2023 13:05

I'm looking at my former colleague's LinkedIn profile right now.

It says he can speak Spanish.

Reader, he cannot speak Spanish.

Helleofabore · 14/09/2023 13:12

Using LinkedIn was an 'easy' option and no doubt LinkedIn gets some excellent benefit from supplying this data!

Innovation hey? Supplying aspirational facts for a fucking serious (supposedly) report into the 'gender gap' that is supposed to be accurate.

Again, Please note ... this index measures the 'gender gap', NOT whether the country is actually an aspirational women's rights champion! Meaning, some of the top countries exploit their male population just as much as the female population!

But hey.... it is a great measure of how well those countries are doing for women.... Fuck reality!

That's right, I will continue to post it, to show that the top 4 countries that are doing the best for women, are also countries that have policies of self-ID.

Given these countries have done so well, for so long for women (and their citizens generally - look at their track records), why do you think the 4 of them have all suddenly gone mad?

Perhaps you could reflect that, actually, they haven't gone mad, and they are continuing in the trend they have consistently demonstrated - of taking good decisions for their citizens.

Now you can choose to focus on single issues and problems, which of course exist, I am more interested in the large, overall picture of how women's lives are improved and the cultures that support the wellbeing and success of women. These countries have improved the lives of women whilst also improving the lives of trans people. Of course I am not saying anything is causative here, but they see no incompatibility on these issues, and their position at the table has been untroubled by their self-ID policies.

Answer the question Suggestions

What relevance do you believe this index with the data it is pulling has to reflect the lack of impact of self ID to those countries on women and girls?

It is a very straightforward question.

List the measures specifically that you feel prove your claim.

If you don't, because you never have to date, you are just doubling down on a very empty claim to authority (ie. it is such a well respected index... look at who uses it... )

And we will continue to point out what that index actually has measured, that you don't seem to have registered at all....

You claim it is taking good decisions for their citizens.

It is an index of GENDER GAPS. IF A COUNTRY TREATS ITS MALE POPULATION AS BADLY AS IT DOES ITS FEMALE POPULATION IT RATES HIGHLY!

I believe you understand this and I believe it is why you are trying to dishonestly limit discussion to the TOP 4 countries as you have done for a very long time now.

I genuinely cannot see how the country that has an incredibly high domestic violence record against women, can be judged to be the best for women.

It is bizarre that you keep citing this pile of shite. Just to prove that women are happy when men call themselves women, half of whom are being beaten into submission by men, some of whom call themselves women.

No, you are interested in using this to silence women and dictate to women that your enforcing of men's rights and men's interests can be justified as 'good for them'. And you much prefer this data with all it's problems to hearing women's voices when what they say does not fit your male centric agenda.

Just to make it really easy to answer and not to avoid it, here is the question:

I've got to rush now and I can't double check this, but I believe the top 4 countries have been in the top 4 for the last few years despite their introduction of self-ID policies. This would suggest that their self-ID policies have had no negative impact on the big picture, overall wellbeing and success of women.

The dismissiveness of women's safety is quite astounding to see.

Dismissed by seeing 'the success' of women.... I mean, considering that many countries have such a disparate class system that those women who are 'successful' will certainly make a country look good and rate highly, meanwhile the women who have no chance of 'success' will be just has they were. And dismissed by someone with such a narrow minded agenda.
