Is it true KJK has been no-platformed by FiLia?

[IwantToRetire]

Seen this on a number of threads on facebook, and wondered if it was true?

But the transactivists didn’t protest the neonazis in Australia did they?

I think it might be useful to remind ourselves of some of the people transactivists align themselves with:

Stephen Ireland, Founder of Pride:

James Rennie, CEO of LBGT Youth Scotland:

Sarah Jane Barker

Eh? What has that got to do with the far right turning up to KJK's events?

Pure deflection!

lol no kjk doesn’t welcome all women. Far from it. She welcomes all women that aren’t as well known as she is. Would she welcome Jean hatchet? Kathleen stock? Julie Bindel? Stella o Malley? Jane Claire jones? Sal Grover? Rhona hotchkiss? Sarah Ditum? Rosie Duffield? Sonia sodha? Helen Lewis? Hadley Freeman? Janice turner?

Before sniping at FiLiA for perceived faults, please check out who they actually are (www.filia.org.uk/our-team) and what they do, especially their VAWG campaigns - all run by volunteers e.g.
> Hague Mothers: International, volunteer-run campaign to change an international treaty that forces victim-survivors of DV - mothers & children - back to their abuser. https://www.hague-mothers.org.uk/
> Women First: co-produced with women who have had lived experience of the sex trade, offers guidance to local authorities who want to improve opportunities for women to exit the sex trade. Unequivocal in framing prostitution as male violence. https://www.filia.org.uk/women-first
> Kakuma Campaign supporting lesbian mothers trapped in a refugee camp & subject to constant violence and abuse. Campaign aims to bring them to safety. https://www.filia.org.uk/kakuma-campaign

!00 speakers have been announced to date for this year's Conference, from every continent - https://www.filia.org.uk/filia-2025-speakers The logistics are mind-blowing and I, for one, am hugely grateful to every one of the women who gives up acres of their time to make this possible.

Have any of them turned up at LWS and been turned down for the microphone?

My point is you are very keen to link KJK with the far right yet are yourself doing so to deflect the horrors in your corner; the abusive, violent transactivist who turn up to every LWS event to drown out women, to threaten them, to hold placards wishing their death, to physically attack them. Transactivists who may already have convictions for murder and other crimes. Men and women who hide their faces so they can not be held to account. The extremist violence associated with transideology becomes ever more apparent; yet another transactivist school shooting in America just this week. Yet in the face of all this violence, you decry a woman who lets other women speak.

What does this mean exactly?

Ah. I see. Are you implying the TRAs there were closet Nazis? That has already been explored and debunked.

I do think if there is an opposing group of neonazis - holding offensive banners targeting trans people - and protesters have already been cautioned to keep calm by a heavy police presence, the TRAs aren’t going to be screaming at the neonazis. They’re an excitable bunch.

Oh, so it's ok for them to scream at the feminists, but not nazis, because they're men and 'excitable'....

Newsflash, they didn't even try to chant at the nazis. They didn't even bother. I'm in Australia. The rally and subsequent various angles of footage shows the TRAs saw and knew the nazis were there but they paid them no attention. They just screamed and drowned out the women.

I don't know. Why don't you ask her?

TRAs aren’t going to be screaming at the neonazis

Of course they're not. They're not going to attack a group of men who have a reputation for violence.

It's much easier to protest against a group of women holding a nonviolent rally, talking in a calm way about issues that concern them.

Showing that in reality, TRAs are quite aware of which people are men and which are women. If they were really concerned about threats to their "community", they'd aim their protests at the violent men rather than the peaceful women.

You don't seem to understand what the LWS events are about. They're not for women who already have a voice in the media to make it all about them. They're for women who don't have a voice. Ordinary women are given the opportunity to stand up and speak about issues which concern them.

I don't know what would happen if a well-known woman turned up at one of these events and wanted to speak. Has it ever happened? Is your comment about something that happened at a past event?

So you are saying TRAs only demonstrate against women because they know they can intimidate them with their violence and know women are less powerful than them and can’t do anything about it? So it is just a show of male violence against women. A display of male power?

That TRAs don’t object to the far right.

They're finally talking about trans widows and haven't invited Tinsel? She IS the voice of trans widows!

It's the name of her organisation, ffs.

Did they say why?

I’m not saying anything is OK. I did say the neonazis are excitable, not the TRAs. (Also: I’m in Australia too - actually in Melbourne, if that matters.)

No. In this particular circumstance, the TRAs were aware of what KJK represented and were protesting against that. This neonazi group is particularly unpleasant and known for their shock tactics. Why provoke them further?

What about when that far right is holding a banner saying “Destroy Paedo Freaks” as the neonazis were at the rally? I’m sure the TRAs would object to that. They seem natural opposites.

Tinsel has commented on the other Filia thread about not being invited.

Who‘s coming to FiLIA? | Mumsnet

Yes, it's much easier to target a group of women holding a peaceful event rather than a group of violent men.

It doesn't reflect well on you though.

So why didn't the TRAs protest against them?

KJK’s welcomed Maya, Baroness Nicholson & (I think) Helen Joyce in the past.
