"When Kellie-Jay Kean, aka Posie Parker, declares that she is perfectly happy
to have actual Nazis speak at her rallies you know that exclusionary feminism
has truly gone down the alt-right rabbit hole. This is not hyperbole, this is
not the left pointing fingers at shadows, this is one of the most prominent
voices within exclusionary feminism saying that nothing matters except erasing
trans identities. And Kean is not alone. Helen Joyce gladly states that her
goal is the erasure of all trans people and their legal rights. J K Rowling has
backed Kean up with both personal and financial support. Maya Forstater’s so
called victory for sex based beliefs only highlighted that it is a belief, on
the same level as religious faith. They cozy up to the right because the right
sees them as useful patsies, and they care not that the world sees their
fascists mates.
This is why every time they enter the public arena we point out this far right
agenda, show the world that these women are not friends of progressive
feminism, but enablers of racists, fascists, and anti-feminists who would
gleefully roll back women’s rights given half the chance. Why do exclusionary
feminists still insist on using the right wing to further their anti-trans
diatribes? Because it is the path of least resistance. If you have no scruples
in how you achieve your objectives you will take whatever short-term allyship
no matter how much you have to pay in the long run.
Kean’s arguments about free speech ring hollow when all she does is platform
increasingly reactionary voices. Yes, many exclusionary feminists seek to
disavow her, but every adult human female merch worn and flown is another step
in the march to the right. It is deeply ironic that exclusionary feminism has
adopted the suffragette colours because many of the women who fought for the
right to vote went on to fight against fascism. Those same colours have been
coopted in the name of hate, exclusion, not in the name of fighting for
inclusion of minorities who desperately need feminist’s support."
