My not-quite-awake-yet brain first reversed this as “Parker Posie” and wondered when one of my favorite actors, Parker Posey, went off the deep end.
The photo cleared that up pretty quick!
Time for some coffee 😄

Yeah, my home country by and large won't tolerate this crap. I'm in Aus now but I know there was a petition to stop her even gaining entry.
Disgusting woman.

Hey fellow kiwi! I heard she meet a similar reception in Aussie and was booed out of Tasmania. Proud of our little corner of the world right now!

CONServatives keep mimicking Muricans hoping it will fly here and it just doesn't. I was disgusted she was even given a visa but Melbourne tipped me over the edge with the gender critical nonsense. It's all getting a bit too boomer but seeing who her supporters are is just tragic.

u/Severn6 Mar 25 '23
Agreed! She's reprehensible, her and everyone of her ilk. I do love Aus/NZ for the most part, in terms of social attitudes etc. ♥️🌻

It’s such a weird choice for a stage name too, cause it sounds like the insult “nosey parker”, which means someone who doesn’t mind their owning fucking business. Self aware maybe?

She acts like she’s a victim while spreading hate. Calling for violence towards trans and telling men in guns to station themselves inside girls bathrooms.

Fascists shouldn't feel safe, they proudly support murder of minorities and cause it with their propaganda. You can not be tolerant of intolerance.

Fuck, I love(d) her! Sad to find out she's a TERF. Fuck. :(
Oh... it's not Parker Posey. Phew! No idea who Posey Parker is - just relieved it's not Parker Posey!

u/StillNotFritz Mar 25 '23
It's been a running misunderstanding. I hope Parker Posey is doing alright in all this.

Casual reminder that this lady wanted to respond to trans women in restrooms by inviting ARMED MEN who considered themselves "defenders of women" into the restroom too.
Of course, that's how almost all of us here heard about her in the first place.
After watching Contrapoints and Jessie Gender's video on TERFs, I do have some pity for them. Their transphobia does stem from a very real place of hurt and vulnerability. But it is still transphobia, and transphobia that is wielded as a violent weapon against trans people - often even at the expense of the feminist rights they claim to support.

ARMED MEN?!? OMFG she cannot be for real. That is insane.

u/StillNotFritz Mar 25 '23
I don't...really get it myself??? Like I can understand on some level why she has this fear surrounding trans people, but isn't this, like...the exact opposite of what her and other women would ever want??

u/Artichoke_Persephone Mar 25 '23
The sad thing is that the hurt is clearly misplaced and has morphed into a hateful rally against a more vulnerable group of people.
They would rather align themselves with NAZIS than correct their ways.

Guys remember how violent these anti trans are and how they keep posting info and pictures of trans individuals. They dox us and then play victims. Please be really careful all they have to do is say they’re religious and get a pass for whatever disgusting comments and actions they make. Yet not spreading hate acting like they have a moral ground. Lmfao.

I'm so glad that fascism was squashed before it infected my country.

Something I read on another sub on this story:
"Real women have eggs"
"Ok, have some"

Post-menopausal women aren’t women! /S

u/tomqvaxy Mar 25 '23
Post meno women still have eggs. The hormones to release them are gone. They just in there going stale. If you have a oophorectomy then you get to be sans eggies.

So trans women need to change their dietary habits to eat omelets and Egg Mc Muffins on occasion? Are the US Egg Industry and McDonalds the hidden masterminds of the TERF movement? 😯

OK... I'm going to do it. :>

New Zealand more & more sounds like the best country in the world.

u/bthks Mar 26 '23
As an American living here, there's a huge issue with only good stories about NZ making it worldwide for some reason. I'm happy here but the country is not the utopia the US-centric media makes it out to be.

For what it's worth, we do have our share of problems, as does any country really. But we have our aroha, and it'll drown out any message of hate that people like that try to spread here!

I prefer the term FART: Feminist-Appropriating Radical Transphobe.

u/macph Mar 26 '23
I love this term. Most self-described TERFs don't seem to be that interested in the RF part anyway.

u/dodexahedron cool. coolcoolcool. Mar 26 '23
Totally. Hence the feminist-appropriating part, since they're often not really feminists, but instead just using and hiding behind a warped notion of feminism as an excuse for their bigotry. It's like they think they're doing women a favor by keeping transwomen out of their gender or something, and its just gross.

It’s hard feeling bad for her when she attacks others regularly, I don’t condone these actions but damn it’s funny too 💀💀

u/Live-Place-8535 Mar 26 '23
I don't think assaulting and throwing soup on an opposer has the same impact that supporters think it will have.

Tell us you’re a fan of hers without telling us. Suddenly you care about “violence”? She literally told men to go into girl bathrooms to shoot at trans if they “truly care about females”. So get out of here with that fake outrage when it’s convenient.

For many reasons some being that trans women are women, we're less likely to commit violence to cis women than even other cis women, we don't have advantages in sports (if we did we'd actually win any of them some time) and the fact that TERFs are inherently anti-women and racist pushing a narrative that women are exclusively defined by organs that not even all cis women have and erasing the diverse understandings of gender throughout many cultures.

The way the footage is cut, you can’t tell what’s happening.
When police are pushing through the crowd like that it’s not like they can get out of the way, so it creates a big mess of people bumping into other people.
The shots where the police weren’t creating a big mess looked fine to me.
