Link. Posie is still showing such bravery day after day that I almost can’t believe it. I also find it stunning that there are still some undermining her from the comfort of their homes in the UK, using rationales and methods more frequently deployed by trans rights activists: Dishonest framing, unfair demands, guilt by association…Remember how
I have nothing but respect for KJK. She is smart, down to Earth, and couldn't be better at communicating her message. She is also usually very graceful about the women that are viciously trying to sabotage her. Massive respect to her, and a large amount of side eye to the women trying to tarnish her by association.
I'm a bloke, and I am aware that my contribution to feminism might just be as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit.
The attacks on Posie are a combination of laughable and distressing to me.
She is displaying more fortitude than anyone I can think of (outside Iran and Afghanistan).
I'm genuinely concerned that a TRA lunatic will physically attack her. It puts the 'I don't feel safe' brigade into even sharper focus. Her family must be at their wits end.
I'll relax when she has returned back to the UK safely.
KJ is always getting attacked by people on the "same side". She was called a pound shop Marine Le Pen I believe. Absolutely disgraceful and unfounded. It stinks of snobbery and jealousy of the massive impact she has made. Yet KJ always says she will stand alongside those women in this fight no matter what they've said about her. She is the adult with one aim...to beat this trans movement. Phil Marlowe
We've all enjoyed so many unforgettable Posie moments in the last 5 years of this fight. Every step of the way, Posie has brought new allies into this fight, and in doing so she has always displayed an incredibly positive and generous spirit - her ideas and courage have spear-headed this movement's momentum. Because of Posie's willingness to be 'the face' of GC women, especially on her many TV appearances, she ensured that our campaigning reached a much bigger and broader audience than anyone else has managed in this fight - we should all feel so glad to have Posie on our side and by our side - she is not perfect - nobody is - but she's inspiring, relentless and 'all-in' for women and children. Much love to her. If anyone wants to chip in here with a Posie memory, please do - I'll start: Her brilliant 'I Love JK' poster campaign at Edinburgh Station.
I’m worried about her. She’s extremely brave. She doesn’t sit in her Ivory tower writing clever articles. She’s on the front line being spat at. And as you say...they have guns. I’m praying for her and the brave women around her. If being a feminist means slagging up KJK, then I’m no feminist. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Women who slag up other women are not worthy of that label. I’ve come off Twitter because of the vitriol from some very well known feminists. I respect their work, but can’t stand their bitching.
Any woman trashing Kelly-Jay is no feminist. Rather like Nicola Sturgeon who, when criticised by J K Rowling for her drive for self-id, had the audacity to say that she was the “real feminist”. Aye right, Nicola.
Posie’s detractors are just jealous that she is making an international impact with her no-compromise message which centres women of all political affiliations. They can’t stand it that she’s getting so much attention and that message is being heard. She’s fearless and encourages women of all backgrounds to speak. I’m team KJK all the way.
Well said. I was and am outraged and so disappointed by this. ‘Domestic zombies’ was the first insult that was a dagger to my heart, followed by the ‘pound shop’ jibe. So damn childish. We have bigger fish to fry - they are losing political capital behaving like this with such ‘friendly fire.
Thank you Graham. As an uneducated working class women I love that KJK let’s and encourages any women speak. I have always considered myself a socialist lefty. Not anymore, the (imho) up their arses academics looking down their noses at her stinks. It reminds me of school, is it her media appearances, the fact that she’s attractive, wears makeup or that she’s an unapologetic housewife and mother that they don’t like? because that’s how it looks to me. The smart kids pissed off that as always charisma and looks get the attention. Well who cares why or how we get attention to this fight, the important thing is that we do. They need to get over it and thank her for all she does for women and girls. Thank you Graham and thank you Posie xx I stand with you
A very interesting testimony from an eye witness who watched *that* photograph being taken. As if we didn't already know, it's clear that KJK had no idea who that guy was - she just posed for a quick selfie as she was leaving the event.
Posie is out there, making herself ‘unsafe’ time and time again. I saw her unwavering resilience first hand for myself in Bristol. I was angered and shaking with stress after having abuse and unbearable loud music screamed in my ear for hours. I saw how Posie stood and took it. Not only took it, but USED it. And we used it too. She grew 12ft tall in my eyes and I have nothing but admiration for her.
But as you say G, no-one had guns…..
How Posie somehow comes off as the mad, bad dangerous woman for trying to keep herself and other women….well, ALIVE, is beyond weird to me.

Posie is a human rights legend. What a contribution.

Posie is epically intelligent and fearless. No wonder she's number one on the gender goons hit list.
Donate @ Standing for Women. She needs security and it’s expensive.

Anyone who knows Kellie-Jay knows how ridiculous those claims are. She centers women and children in her politics, its as simple as that.
KJK is brave and speaks clearly to a mainstream audience. She should be supported as a real asset to our movement.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I also agree that I just want her safely home.
