Please start with my article, "Posie Parker Won't Tell Us About the Billionaires". It's a 6-minute read on Medium.
This image of a woman wanting to speak was taken at hate preacher Kellie-Jay Keens (aka Posie Parker) cult rally today…

A man strangles her before dragging her by her throat to the ground…
Guess who stood and watched, and said she was ok with it happening?

Posie Parker cheering as a man grabs a woman by the throat to silence her in front of a banner saying #LetWomenSpeak is probably THE PERFECT representation of Gender Critical pic.twitter.com/H35TwCC2Aa

The psychopaths in your mentions on this image of a man choking someone (irrespective of their bigotry about the woman), literally insulting the victim and cheering on the violent criminal, speaks volumes about the immoral and deranged character of transphobes.

Fascists sieg heiling at an event organised by one of Britain’s leading gender critical/anti-trans activists, the one whose T-shirts JKR wears proudly. It’s not the first time. Civility cops: stop calling everyone you don’t like fascist. Fascism is literally here, you goons
— Dr Phoenix CS Andrews (@DocPhoenix) March 18, 2023
If neonazi fascists, pro-lifers and antivaxxers show up in support of transphobes, and old school feminists, Dykes on Bikes, and the Campaign against Racism and Fascism show up in support of trans people, it's not a coincidence

Gender criticals showed their true colours today
The Nazis joining the transphobe rally today is hopefully a reminder to everyone that an attack on trans ppl is an attack on all marginalised ppl, that the purpose of hate groups is to empower white supremacy, which includes the heteronormative conventions the ideology elevates.

It’s so funny seeing transphobes saying “We didn’t invite nazis, they just showed up to our event to fight trans people.” Okay so just to clear that up, if nazis come to side with you and you don’t immediately start punching on… you are on their side. That’s how they work

If I had just stood on the steps of parliament and chanted with Nazis for hours, I’d probably be laying low right now. Not scrambling on Twitter to claim it never happened. We have documentation. We will never forget what TERFs did today.

"why would a far-right group turn up to support this women's rights event?" they wouldn't. they will turn up to support an anti-trans event, though. they give away the real motivation

I see we’re into the third day of TERF mental gymnastics, via which they try to explain away the indisputable fact that their views on trans people are perfectly aligned with those of the Nazis who turn up at their events and are not asked to leave.

A prominent anti-trans account on here has used the "well the Nazis also believed in GRAVITY, does that mean YOU align with Nazis?" argument.
— Sooz Kempner๐ (@SoozUK) March 19, 2023
Believing in gravity wasn't part of Nazi doctrine. Being anti-trans DEFINITELY was.
"Gender critical" arguments in the last year:
— Aidan Comerford (@AidanCTweets) March 19, 2023
- "you gotta hand it to the Taliban, at least they know what a woman is."
- "you gotta hand it to the Catholic Church, at least they know what a woman is."
- "you gotta hand it to the Nazis, at least they know what a woman is."
Big gender criticals (like bindel and rowling) have made excuses for these nazis and how they supposedly have nothing to do with them rather than condemn them and their views. They were there cause they agree with you transphobes https://t.co/apZJsLbdJ2
— Rose Schmits, Trans Kiln Witch™ (@RoseSchmits) March 20, 2023
In case anyone is wondering why there was such a strong response to Kellie-Jay Keene, her rallies openly call for the elimination of trans people. She’s the equivalent of the TERF Westboro Baptist Church.

Backlash?
Erin Reed tweeted on Jun 13, 2022: "Deplatforming works. Radicalization happens via convenience. You find the content that radicalizes people into hate by wandering across it on a platform you consume trusted content on. Deplatforming cuts that process off."
If you ever feel surrounded by the right's anti-trans propaganda, know that it isn't persuasive--far from it. Even to the most squishy, moderate of audiences, the way they speak about us is blatantly irrational, bigoted, and pathetic. They aren't persuading; they're radicalizing.

re: surge in political violence against LGBTQ communities in US, I keep seeing this being referred to as a right-wing backlash to civil rights wins. But that presumes the "wins" were wins. If it is a backlash, it's to perceived gains, more than substantial ones.

(Re: "backlash," as Dr. William Horne said on Dec 7, 2021 re: the United States: "our information networks are owned & operated by those literally invested in the white consensus." (tweet) "If you're looking for a useful & accessible resource on white backlashes in the U.S., Carol Anderson's White Rage is the first text on my syllabus for exactly that reason. Highly recommend!" (tweet) In response to comments on Twitter:
"No, the existence of an optional course at a university you choose to attend for grad school is not "indoctrination," nor is reading abt things that happened & discussing them—which is what the course actually consists of. What is *actual* indoctrination is demanding that courses like this, which do raise serious questions abt existing systems of power, be banned. But thanks for this trip into the Upside Down! 2) Threatening someone for using the term "white backlash" makes you look like a ๐คก by, as noted above, actually illustrating a key suppressionist element of historical & ongoing white backlashes. Nice work! 3) No, the existence of Black, Latinx, or other white backlashers of color doesn't mean it's not a white backlash. In fact, every white backlash in U.S. history involved either a realignment of "whiteness" or a collaboration w/Black & other racialized elites. Did Confederate Cherokees support, idk, "inclusion?" No, they supported proximity to power--to the white supremacist state & its regime of slave-capital. Did Black enslavers support equality? Well, no. Although the tightening grip of racist legislation diminished this group by the 1850s, every enslaving state boasted a free Black population that asserted their own rights at the expense of enslaved. The same might be said for Irish, Italian, Jewish, & countless other immigrant groups of the 19th & 20th centuries deemed initially nonwhite, only to relocate under the aegis of whiteness by aligning against Black Americans & newer generations of migrants. Not new. And in fact, today's your lucky day, bc the last book on my syllabus, Daniel Martinez HoSang & Joseph E. Lowndes, Producers, Parasites, Patriots: Race and the New Right-Wing Politics of Precarity, analyzes this phenomenon re Trumpism."
Anyhow: "Last week, during our last session of my White Backlash graduate course, my students asked me if I thought the U.S. would descend into a civil war during the next decade. I replied that the current situation is much more bleak than that." (tweet) ... "In short, the system they created is incredibly thorough, designed to prevent fallout from suppression. It MIRRORIS PRECISELY the tactics white supremacists used to create & affirm via SCOTUS an apartheid state from the 1890s through the 1960s in the U.S." (tweet)
And see his earlier thread:
That the vast majority of American media is either owned & operated by the super-wealthy or algorithmically manipulated by them doesn’t bode well for multiracial democracy in this moment of white backlash.

"We shouldn’t be making the Nazis into bogeymen .... We don’t need the legislation because we’re banning everything at the moment."
These are the words of a woman who went to protest Kellie-Jay Keen, and these words are why Gender-crit Nazi's will never win.

April 23, 2023 tweet:
The article: Anti-trans white supremacists celebrate Hitler’s birthday by Destiny Rogers, Q News, April 23, 2023
On May 29, 2023, in response to a Patrick Strudwick article that said Kellie Jay-Keen (aka Posie Parker) "staged a mass Nazi salute" at her Melbourne "Let Women Speak" rally, Rowling posted a four-paragraph statement on Twitter. She said: "Actual Nazis have turned up on the fringes of Let Women Speak events for exactly the same reason aggressive, narcissistic trans activists are there. These groups closely resemble each other." She ended by encouraging KJK to sue: "It's high time those peddling lies like Strudwick's are held accountable and I sincerely hope @ThePosieParker takes action."
Of course, this is deliberate nonsense. The Nazis at the Melbourne rally in March carried a banner that said "Destroy Paedo Freaks," an anti-transgender sentiment that complemented KJK's anti-transgender platform and remains consistent with Nazis' historically genocidal antipathy toward trans/queer people. Nazis were not there "for the same reason" as trans counter-protesters were there. They were there for the opposite reason. Nazis have always been, and remain, hostile to trans people.
J.K. Rowling responded by expressing hope that trans people and our defenders will be guillotined.
“Our fight is to get rid of the parasites. And they are absolutely everywhere.” Shocking. Yet JK Rowling calls this person a “genius”. Wears her tshirts. No wonder Nazis flock to the Gender Critical movement pic.twitter.com/l2RoCvOMsA

Meanwhile, ooooooo:
