The shameful persecution of Posie Parker in New Zealand (Spectator.co.uk)

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 ...

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. 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. That it ought to be a punishable offence – whether that punishment is being No Platformed or sacked or having objects thrown in your face – to say men are men and women are women. And she knows it will all brilliantly illustrate her core belief: that trans activism is misogyny in disguise, misogyny in drag, if you like, and that it has devoted itself to silencing women who believe in biology. Parker is a new kind of witch, one who willingly submits herself to a witch-trial, so that the rest of us might see just how dogmatic and unforgiving the new witch-hunters are. Dissenting from the gospel of gender ideology is to the 21st century what dissenting from the actual gospels was to the 15th. 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. She incites them to confess their misogyny and intolerance in full public view. It was a modern-day stoning, so mercifully they only threw soup and water and planks of cardboard at the blasphemer. She knows these gatherings of women who merely want to give voice to their profane belief that sex can never be changed will draw out crowds of intolerant trans activists and their allies. It was a ritualistic shaming of a witch, a violent purging of a heretic. She thinks if you were born male, you will die male, and in the time in between you have no right whatsoever to enter any women-only space.

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.
