Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull is a woman that knows that humans have 2 sexes and they are immutable, just like the vast majority of people in the world. However, this has become controversial because a small group of people want to force us to believe that males can become 1/

females. And while most people don't really care if someone holds an "eccentric" belief, this one comes with pressure to accept those males into female spaces & activities. Women are saying no! KJ is saying no! KJ has been holding rallies across the UK to allow women to 2/

explain why they say no, to explain why victims of domestic violence or rape can't get access to female only care or support, why girls can't change without boys in school changing rooms, why de-sexing language demeans women, mothers, women experiencing periods, women with 3/

cervical cancer, why children should not be medicated because they think they can change sex, the list goes on. KJ hands the mic to women to #LetWomenSpeak. There's no hate speech, no incitement to riot or abuse or violence. The rallies are always filmed, see for yourself 4/

The rallies have been facing an increasing amount of protest (mainly men but not all men) usually covering their faces, threatening the women, calling them fascists, bigots, Nazis. Yes, Nazis. Women speaking about their rights are being called Nazis. Only idiots who don't 5/

understand what exactly the 3rd Reich did could accuse women of talking about being abused of being Nazis. But this is where we are in 2023. Apparently it's not true that #WomensRightsAreHumanRights.
Anyway, last year KJ took her #LetWomenSpeak rallies to the US. 6/

How was she met? By men, screaming at the women, the #BeKind brigade showing a distinct lack of kindness or even tolerance. The sort of men women do not want share spaces with. If they behave like this in public, what are like like in private? 7/

KJ then moved on to Australia last week. There are states in Australia that are far further down the loony path of choosing your own sex than the UK. There are a lot of people invested in the gender woo beliefs. They really don't want a women coming in 8/

and encouraging others to ask difficult questions. Like why a man's feelings take priority over the safety of women, over the fear of women? We can't have women asking those questions in public can we? CAN WE? Why yes, yes we can. #LetWomenSpeak 9/

KJ moved to New Zealand yesterday, Auckland. The scenes were pretty horrific. There were lots of women gathered ready to speak up, many for the first time, given courage by watching women round the world doing the same, courage calls to courage. 10/

This is what one woman witnessed : 11/

Here is some footage of the event. Women had not started talking, the crowds pushed, and stomped and screamed. Screamed at women wishing to discuss their rights, remember. Women. 12/

So much for a peaceful protest, these people wanted to silence the women, to silence KJ. Is that democracy, or if someone disagrees with you any behaviour goes? Particularly women daring to speak about their rights? 13/

Eventually the Police stepped in to get KJ in to a car. I assume because the optics of a 5ft 1 woman getting mauled by a crowd baying for her silence (& worse) wouldn't look too good. 14/

"Storming barricades and assaulting women is not “free speech”. It is violent sexism and misogyny" 15/

Unsurprisingly, the rally in Wellington today is cancelled. The authorities have told KJ that they can't guarentee her safety or for the women that wanted to attend to be able to speak, as is their democratic right. They can't protect women from the violent protesters. 16/

If you have been dismissing women raising the issue of their rights, raising the issue of a male being able declare himself a woman, when a Gov votes through legislation to allow a birth certificate to be changed with absolutely no safeguarding, so even a double rapist 17/

can become "female" just by signing a few papers, if you have kept out of this then look at those videos of the Auckland crowd. Women in a 1st world country are now unable to even speak without being attacked. If you have kept silent then you need to reassess your priorities 18/

Because next time it could be you wanting to speak, but the baying crowds might be coming after you and the women won't be able to help you.
