Posie Parker

This is what it must have been like when women were marched to the stake. Yesterday in Auckland the British women's rights campaigner Posie Parker found ...

Behold the use of megaphones and expletive-laden chants and physical menace to silence a woman and tell me this isn’t a sexist, censorious crusade against women’s freedom of speech. Witness the crowing of men who are delighted that the mob made the ‘coward TERF’ run away and tell me this isn’t chauvinism on steroids. That it ought to be a punishable offence – whether that punishment is being No Platformed or sacked or having objects thrown in your face – to say men are men and women are women. And she knows it will all brilliantly illustrate her core belief: that trans activism is misogyny in disguise, misogyny in drag, if you like, and that it has devoted itself to silencing women who believe in biology. Parker is a new kind of witch, one who willingly submits herself to a witch-trial, so that the rest of us might see just how dogmatic and unforgiving the new witch-hunters are. Dissenting from the gospel of gender ideology is to the 21st century what dissenting from the actual gospels was to the 15th. Watch enraged men kicking down metal barriers so that they might get closer to the witch Posie and tell me this isn’t sexism masquerading as radicalism. She incites them to confess their misogyny and intolerance in full public view. It was a modern-day stoning, so mercifully they only threw soup and water and planks of cardboard at the blasphemer. She knows these gatherings of women who merely want to give voice to their profane belief that sex can never be changed will draw out crowds of intolerant trans activists and their allies. It was a ritualistic shaming of a witch, a violent purging of a heretic. She thinks if you were born male, you will die male, and in the time in between you have no right whatsoever to enter any women-only space.

Due to thousands of counter-protestors overwhelming Posie Parker's planned Auckland rally, she has reportedly decided to leave the country.

“Standing For Women campaigns for the rights of women and the safeguarding of children,” she said. [get in the bin](https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/03/23/posie-parker-nick-mckim-cassy-oconnor/)“. In a Twitter thread, trans activist Aidan Comerford accused the anti-trans pundit of working “with anyone to defeat trans rights, and she means anyone”.

Pictures of the British anti trans activist being escorted through an angry crowd will only rally her supporters.

Or is old-fashioned sunlight more imperative than ever when it’s so easy to spread division and hate unchallenged over the internet? And when social media provides an untrammelled platform with a far greater audience than a band rotunda in an Auckland park, why would she bother flying down here to speak to a few hundred supporters anyway? Judging by the low number of those who turned out in support, she has very few followers in New Zealand. Should someone as divisive as Keen-Minshull be entitled to say what they like in public? Keen-Minshull herself, meanwhile, surely must have got what she wanted out of it. Those pictures are a far more powerful motivator to her followers than what was the likely alternative, the sad sight of a handful of supporters in an otherwise empty park who actually wanted to hear her speak.

She could read the words of Cuban boxer Emile Griffith, former world welterweight champion, ‘illegally’ gay in 1962 when he was taunted as being a “f...” and stepped into the ring blinded with rage. She could pause and consider the difficulties of being ‘different’ instead of making headlines being nasty. They claim freedom, but does that extend to encroaching on the freedom of others to live their own personal lives, not hurting anyone else? This was a game-changer that lopped months off an already drawn-out battle and sent men home to their families instead of to a watery grave. He was treated appallingly and two years later he swallowed cyanide and died in disgrace. Turing was a genius, to put it mildly, regarded as the person we can thank for – among other things - general purpose computers and artificial intelligence.

She left her rally at Albert Park in Auckland yesterday without speaking after being overwhelmed by thousands of heckling counter-protesters.

“We were prepared that there might be [confrontation], but it seems like only a couple of people who were not in the same waka, so to speak, who have turned up. It’s been amazing to see the support that’s come out in support of trans rights. “It takes all of us to act.” It’s been heart-touching and it gives me goosebumps.” He was quickly surrounded by police, who escorted him away as the crowd jeered and chanted loudly, “Go home Derek, go home.” Heatstroke, rather than confrontation, was the main concern for event organisers Queer Endurance/Defiance in Wellington. There was over an hour of speeches, mostly from trans women who spoke about their experiences. Only a handful of counter-protesters from Destiny’s Church Man Up group were visible at the protest. You're less than the dirt under my foot.” “We choose love not hate,” he said. Signs on display in the crowd included “Nans 4 Trans”, “Get Souped” and “Trans Rights Are Human Rights”. One of the members flanked Tait closely as he mixed with the crowd.

This country should be ashamed that they even let people like this into this country.' The world is talking about you.' One of 2,000 counter-protesters, in support of trans people, ran towards Ms Keen-Minshull and poured a bottle of tomato soup on her head as she was on stage preparing to address the crowd. 'They are afraid of us. 'The advice was that I should go home. Ms Keen-Minshull shared a photo to Twitter showing her waiting at the airport with a police escort as she made her frantic escape from the country.

The way to deal with that as I have said is have other speech and debate counter the view that you don't like, rather than intimidating behaviour."
