Hannah Berrelli, a lesbian being shouted down by male voices
The genius of Posie is that she creates these settings where trans rights activists get to show us who they are, and women such as Hannah do too.
The contrast could not be starker. Organisations like the BBC, with the ‘close-knit cabal’ pushing gender identity within the news department, never cover the protests at all for that reason. They know that as far as Posie is concerned, no news is good news for them.
I only learned to drive a few years ago, so I forgot to factor in the time I would spend taking wrong turns on the motorway and was annoyingly late as a result. But I can just about say I was there. And I could not be more proud.
The last stand for gay rights
Well, this one’s going in a frame
The three Helens!
Joyce, Staniland and Saxby!
Posie and Artless
This fight makes heroes of stewards
“Posie Parker is a legend”

Having to fight the same battles again for women's right to speak and be out in public and being shouted down by men makes me feel like we've gone backwards to the 1970s. We won last time and we will again.
For four years, I have said that Posie has the right plan and everyone should follow her script. And look, she's a genius.
Am keeping the photo of your terfy trinity. The way you all lean on each other there in mutual support, observing the movement you helped create with those satisfied smiles, is going into my terfitude scrapbook.
