Documented evidence (videos, podcasts, photos) of Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull (KJK) aka Posie Parker, founder & organiser of ‘Standing For Women’ platforming & being platformed by far & religious Right figures (2018 to present). Further details in replies to each tweet. A Thread: 👇 1. September 2018, Posie Parker is interviewed for a radio show run by alt right group, Illusions Destroyed, which has a website full of pro-Trump, racist & anti-feminist content.
1/ Here's an excellent example of an ad hominem attack being used in the absence of an argument.
Note the 'Head girl' & *Yawn* jibes. Both are designed to deflect from the article's content by implying its author (Bindel) is 'prissily' telling others what to think & is boring. 2/ If this is the best we can do in GC feminism then we are truly stuffed. Twitter is a terrible medium for communicating. But issues like whether or not aligning with the RR is morally objectionable desperately needs a conversation. Piling on bad faith does nothing to help that.

1/ What is the partnership between WoLF and Alliance Defending Freedom?
WoLF has taken funding from ADF at least once, used ADF affiliated lawyers twice, written amicus briefs in defense of an ADF client twice, in addition to attending a rally in support of an ADF client. 2/ It appears to be a working partnership where ADF provides legal counsel and services for WoLF in return for WoLF filing amicus briefs for ADF clients or interests.
1/ How funding from powerful Religious Right org (with ties to the Trump admin) Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has gagged radical feminist orgn Women's Liberation Front (WoLF).
About WoLF: womensliberationfront.org2/ Who are ADF? Alliance Defending Freedom opposes abortion, believes health workers should be allowed to refuse abortions on religious grounds, oppose same sex marriage & civil unions, & adoptions by same sex couples. They actively campaign & organise for these beliefs.

1/ Bilek uses the word 'grooming' to imply trans people, by being trans, are like abusers. She also likens their mere existence to gaslighting & DARVO tactics (used in domestic abuse). So, Bilek conflates trans people with abusers & GC as its victims. the11thhourblog.com/post/the-groom…2/ Which, of course, is disgusting & disingenuous. She declares 'There is no "trans."' Her position is extremist. It is one that GCs have been accused of, & had to fight off for years: that we want to mandate trans out of existence. But this is NOT the reasonable GC position.

1/ Posie Parker has come out in favour of Trump for the US election. (See her exact words pics 2&3). Gail Dines (author of Pornland) called it out on her FB page (pic1). A 758 comment thread followed re whether or not feminists should support a fascist. facebook.com/gaildines2/ Following her original post, Dines apologised to Posie Parker in a second post, for what she claimed was her mistake of making Parker a scapegoat for women's fears around Trump winning the US election.

We are a collective of left wing feminists pushing back against all alliances, platforms & collaborations with the Far/Alt & Religious Right, white supremacists & Q anon.
We operate under the premise that ‘the enemy of my enemy is not my friend’.
1/7
Women do not need to accept scraps from the Right.
We believe the Alt/Far/Religious Right to be fundamentally anti women & anti feminist, and any gender critical involvement undermines the movement & its integrity.
