Trans activists get "mostly peaceful"

When was the last time you saw a group of women mob a trans activist, throw eggs and soup at them, blast ear-shattering noises, and threaten their life?

Never. That would be never.

No group of people has an easier time of it in modern Western society than transgender activists. They are coddled, celebrated in every school, celebrated on TV, and all over social media.

It certainly is the case that there is active opposition to their cause, but the activists themselves are hardly under siege. Rather, the opposite is true. Opposing the trans agenda ensures that one is under constant and occasionally violent attack. No other activists get as much freedom of action or get as much societal approval.

Speak up against the transgender agenda and you get canceled; try to speak publicly and you get this:

Posie Parker (Kellie-Jay Keene) is a British anti-transgender ideology activist, and she has been on a world tour to make her case. She has been harassed every step along the way, both by the governments in countries she has been visiting and by the thousands of activists who have been mobbing and shutting down her events. She gets “special treatment” (customs harassment) when entering countries and is smeared by the news media as a White supremacist.

Because she opposes trans ideology.

As you can see from the video, she wasn’t just shouted down. She was physically assaulted by a mob. She had to shelter in a police station, and the police escorted her to the airport so that she could escape from New Zealand less than 24 hours after she arrived to speak.

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.’

It was a truly chilling spectacle. The mobs’ faces were twisted into masks of feral hatred. They ranted in frenzy as the diminutive Parker, her bottle-blonde hair stained orange from the soup that had been dumped on her, desperately tried to make her way to the safety of a police car. It was a ritualistic shaming of a witch, a violent purging of a heretic.

Aukland Pride is, of course, proud of their performance, considering it a victory. That violent mob “demonstrated their values.” OK. Now we know.

They demonstrated their values all right. Being “mostly peaceful” is how to get your way.

The events in Auckland should be a wake-up call for liberals everywhere. We glimpsed the iron fist of authoritarianism that lurks in the velvet glove of ‘Be Kind’. The misogynistic streak in trans extremism is undeniable now. Watch enraged men kicking down metal barriers so that they might get closer to the witch Posie and tell me this isn’t sexism masquerading as radicalism. Witness the crowing of men who are delighted that the mob made the ‘coward TERF’ run away and tell me this isn’t chauvinism on steroids. Behold the use of megaphones and expletive-laden chants and physical menace to silence a woman and tell me this isn’t a sexist, censorious crusade against women’s freedom of speech.

Posie’s crime is that she keeps on insisting that the definition of a woman is “adult human female.” Literally, that is what got her on the wrong side of the trans activists. She purchased an advertisement saying that and ever since she has been under threat. As a result, she has upped her game and taken her message on the road.

They need to shut her down, and you see how they do it.

Of course, they HAD to, because this is how you deal with “hate,” right?

Even before Posie arrived government officials had threatened to revoke her visa, and the government rushed her out of the country after this fiasco.

One of the people who stormed the stage where Posie spoke the day before in Australia was an Australian Senator who had to be tackled by the police. She literally ran up to Posie screaming and looked like she was about to attack.

Australia and New Zealand: great look, guys.

That crowd surrounded and attacked Posie in New Zealand was full of men. The media is siding with big, burly men physically assaulting a petite woman because she believes that a woman is an “adult human female.”

Yes, they were dressed as women, but on the whole, what you are seeing in that video is a group of men in drag trying to hurt or kill a woman. This pretty much proves Posie’s point: women are being threatened by men who hate them.

If you were a woman would you want the people in that crowd claiming the right to enter and share your most private spaces?

We keep on hearing that the “T” belongs with the “LGB,” but that is a lie. Transgender activists aren’t just attacking heterosexual women; they are demanding that homosexual men and women accept them as sexual partners because “trans-men are men” and “trans-women are women.”

A decade or two ago, before trans-madness struck, the average transgender person probably just wanted to be left alone to live their life. But somehow we have entered a new world where trans-activists can attack people with impunity and often with the backing of powerful social institutions.

Political extremists have always used violence to get their way; what is distinctive these days is how Western governments turn the other way as long as that violence is directed at anybody to the right of Lenin. Leftist extremists can assault, vandalize, loot, or even occupy indefinitely public spaces because the Left approves their message.

Government just looks the other way. Or, as in New Zealand, actively helps them by escorting the dissenter out of the country.

Coverage in the MSM has been, as you would expect, almost entirely critical of Posie, not the activists. Andrew Doyle at Great Britain News gives the receipts for how badly Posie was treated not just by the crowd, but by their media supporters.

Violence against conservatives–or even against normal liberals–is fully accepted by the radical Left who use it to smear the victims. The violence is “proof” that their views have no place in a civilized society.

This is madness, of course. But the madness only succeeds because the Establishment embraces it.

UPDATE: Perfect example of the madness
