‘Posie Parker’ (Kellie-Jay Keen) first became famous for her line of ‘Adult Human Female’ merch. Since then, she’s worked with racists, Christian fundamentalists and neo-Nazis, received funding from anti-abortion groups, and appeared on GB News, far-right podcasts, and a fascist talk show popular with ‘men’s rights activists.’ She’s praised EDL co-founder Tommy Robinson, called for men with guns to ‘protect’ women’s toilets from anyone who ‘looks trans,’ and used an image of Barbie in a Nazi uniform as a social media profile picture.
Too Extreme for other TERFs
In 2018, anti-trans group A Woman’s Place cut ties with Keen due to her racist and Islamophobic social media statements.
Attacking Rape Crisis director
In a 2021 video, Keen fanned the flames of a racist and transphobic campaign against Mridul Wadhwa, a trans woman who ran Rape Crisis Edinburgh. After supporting female victims of sexual violence for years, she received death threats and online harassment, and the centre’s work was severely disrupted. More info here.
Fascist links
NO ONE IS CALLING KELLIE-JAY KEEN A FASCIST. It’s important to say that. But it’s also important to note that she associates with known fascists and doesn’t complain when they turn up to her events. At events in Australia and New Zealand, she didn’t complain when dozens of white supremacists did Nazi salutes, or when a speaker in Newcastle explicitly quoted Hitler (and told the audience she was doing so).
