Anti-trans activist Posie Parker ends New Zealand tour after chaotic ... (The Guardian)

The controversial UK gender activist was booed, heckled, and doused with tomato juice in a heated confrontation between groups in Auckland.

The Green party co-leader Marama Davidson, who was demonstrating in support of trans rights, was hit by a motorcycle at a pedestrian crossing. On Friday, New Zealand’s high court ruled that the decision to allow Keen-Minshull entry to the country was lawful. Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, who also goes by the name Posie Parker, was due to speak in Auckland on Saturday morning.

She could read the words of Cuban boxer Emile Griffith, former world welterweight champion, ‘illegally’ gay in 1962 when he was taunted as being a “f...” and stepped into the ring blinded with rage. She could pause and consider the difficulties of being ‘different’ instead of making headlines being nasty. They claim freedom, but does that extend to encroaching on the freedom of others to live their own personal lives, not hurting anyone else? This was a game-changer that lopped months off an already drawn-out battle and sent men home to their families instead of to a watery grave. He was treated appallingly and two years later he swallowed cyanide and died in disgrace. Turing was a genius, to put it mildly, regarded as the person we can thank for – among other things - general purpose computers and artificial intelligence.

"Police were at Albert Park this morning monitoring the event and the counter-protest. In a livestream on Keen-Minshull's YouTube channel, it appeared she was being escorted away from the park in a police car. Numbers of people at the counter-protest are yet to be confirmed but it's estimated hundreds had gathered. A reporter at the Auckland event said crowds appeared volatile and Keen-Minshull was widely heckled then booed as she was escorted out. Police have been criticised by Speak Up For Women and the Free Speech Union for not doing more. Keen-Minshull said she just had food in her hair and "just grave fears for this place". She has speaking engagements in Auckland and Wellington this weekend as part of her Let Women Speak tour. A police spokesperson said the role of police at events like this was to ensure safety and uphold the law, while recognising the lawful right to protest. Tweedie said he is "so proud" of the "thousands" of Aucklanders who came out to stand up for trans communities and against hate. "I've never seen anything like this," Keen-Minshull said. It was then that security made a rush with her through the crowd to get her out of the park. Seven security guards were near Keen-Minshull, and small pockets of police were on the fringe of the crowd before intervening and helping her through the crowd and into a police car.

'Feared for life': Anti-trans activist on attack (NEWS.com.au)

Controversial pro-woman and anti-transgender campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull said she thought she was going to die after she was attacked with tomato ...

Another tweet from Ms Keen-Minshull read: “The bravery of the New Zealand women and men who came to speak the truth shall not be forgotten. Remember, this is the "right side of history". KJK and security are barely able to escape the crushing mob of deranged trans activists. No one can pretend they don’t see the salivating misogyny.” I was honoured to be among you. “The Green Party’s commitment to nonviolence is at the heart of our founding values.” Ms Keen-Minshull quickly took to Twitter saying the situation was “shameful” and she quickly “feared” for her life. She continued to say the “extreme left are domestic terrorists” emboldened by the state. Controversial Liberal candidate Katherine Deves shared a video of the carnage to her Twitter, calling the mob “utterly deranged”. The anti-trans activist attempted to speak but she was consistently drowned out by screams and chants of “go home”. Police filled out the crowd, attempting to help the British activist escape as signs from counter-protesters read “trans pride” and “real feminists support ALL women”. “Speak Up for Women thanks Mrs Keen-Minshull for having the courage to come to New Zealand and showing up in Albert Park today, despite receiving multiple death threats and threats of violence in the last week,” the statement read.

I hope that my colleagues draw the line and say enough, and that I am able to fight alongside them," she said in a statement. Pesutto has said he's "confident" the party will back him in a vote. She also defended her participation in last Saturday's rally and accused "extreme left counter protesters" of infiltrating the event and assaulting speakers, police and horses. "When prompted their reaction is a mixture of anger and empathy," Samaras said. "So far this year the RedBridge Group has conducted over 70 focus groups, talking to over 600 soft voters for over 100 hours and trans issues has not been raised once. I know which one is the winning strategy." There has been a lot said about Keen-Minshull and whether she is a warrior for women's rights or an extremist with views that are harmful to the transgender community. "If they want to talk about women's safety, I don't think that the issue of ... same-sex bathrooms is where the issue of women's safety is at," she said. The statistics are stark. Rather, they are challenging the very existence of trans people. It turns out the rhetoric she uses is much more extreme than I had anticipated.
