The shameful persecution of Posie Parker in New Zealand
The Spectator ^ | 25 Ma 2023 | Brendan O'Neill

Posted on 03/26/2023 7:22:15 PM PDT by Rummyfan

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 herself surrounded by a deranged, heaving mob. She had tomato soup and placards thrown in her face. She was doused with water. Huge men screamed insults and expletives in her face. The shoving of the crowd became so intense that Parker feared for her life. ‘I genuinely thought that if I fell to the floor I would never get up again’, she said. ‘My children would lose their mother and my husband would lose his wife.’

...

Next time you’re reading a history book and find yourself wondering how Salem came to be consumed by such swirling hysteria, watch the clips of Posie’s persecution in New Zealand. This is how it happens. This is how the fear of witches can overrule reason and unleash the darkest, most punitive passions of the mob.

And what is Parker’s crime? What did this witch do? She said, ‘A woman is an adult human female’. That’s it. Parker, whose real name is Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, is well known for her criticism of the ideology of transgenderism. She thinks a man never becomes a woman, no matter how many hormones he takes or surgeries he undergoes. 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.

This is heresy. Dissenting from the gospel of gender ideology is to the 21st century what dissenting from the actual gospels was to the 15th. And so Parker must be punished. It was a modern-day stoning, so mercifully they only threw soup and water and planks of cardboard at the blasphemer.

This is not the 21st Century I imagined.

But it’s pretty close to the 21st century imagined by writers of dystopian science fiction.

"These boots stomp terfs."

I don't know what a "terf" is, but it presumably refers to someone who opposes transgenderism. The fact that this explicit call to violence is protected suggests that open violence against Christians will be tolerated in the West within a few years.

“Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist”. If believing in biology and, y’know, DNA makes one a feminist, I guess I’m a feminist.

In any case, if I weren’t so physically fragile, I may be out there at similar rallies. Chicago is abound with crazies, and if my arm gets whacked, I go down in pain. Bad news.

This woman fully supported women benefiting from government and corporate discrimination against men. As far as I am concerned she is simply experiencing the next iteration of her own ideology.

Simple test. Kick a biological male in the genitals and note the classic MALE reaction.

Huge men screamed insults and expletives in her face.>>> A bunch of coward kiwis. Nice place but what a mess. They have turned full commie. which isn’t too far from where they were. For a time they were moving toward free markets but I guess the Zed tanked. WHen i was there they were very proud of the port and airport privatization.

That sounds like an Emily Litella comment.   It is still funy after all of these years.

I don’t think I’ve seen a better illustration of how deeply mentally ill those are who believe a man can become a woman.

We all know a guy can be effeminate and/or “gay” but his DNA can never change. At least not with current science and technology. Maybe one day in the distant future a clone can be made with the opposite sex DNA of his current self and his brain somehow transferred into the clone but short of that, nope.

Same goes for “butch” women believing they can be a man.

I’m sad that we are living through this mass psychosis of the absurd. It’s not how I envisioned my “golden years”. Watching nations being destroyed from within with insane cultural warfare pushed by a startling number of mental illness sufferers, reinforced by a corrupt degenerate media.

Men being celebrated for assaulting feminists was not anything I thought would become fashionable.

Nope. Post 5 offered the original term: Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist.
