Activists hold disturbing ‘arm trans kids’ banner at UK rally
Disturbing images show militant trans-rights activists trying to break up a free-speech event in the UK called “Let Women Speak” — using a giant banner demanding the right to “arm trans kids.”
Photos and video show the opposing activists — most in masks and using umbrellas to hide their identities — marching on the women’s event at a famed Reformer’s Tree gathering spot in London’s Hyde Park on Sunday.
It took at least three trans-rights activists (TRA) — one with a completely shaven head — to hold the large “arm trans kids” banner, pics show.
Alongside the disturbing message, the poster showed what would otherwise be a typical drawing for a young child — but with three sets of machine guns pointing from a playhouse and a toy car.
“The TRAs are looking a lot more dangerous and intimidating today,” a member of a London Conservative party tweeted alongside an image of the alarming banner.
“The message, the graphic, the nihilism,” another concerned observer wrote.
There has been growing concern over the militancy of some trans-rights activists, including some brandishing high-powered weapons while making threats.
There is also anger that the manifesto left by trans school shooter Audrey killed has still not been released, more than two months after she gunned down three kids and three staffers at Nashville’s Covenant School.
Other banners at Sunday’s protest included one calling the women there “Terfs,” or trans-exclusionary radical feminists.
“Terfs off our turf — defend trans lives,” it said, while another read: “Trans joy will outlive you all.”
A huge line of London cops kept the militant protesters — dubbed “Trantifa” by Antifa expert and author Andy Ngo — from the other women.
Still, there were a handful of scuffles, according to videos circulated online, with the banner-holding crowd chanting that the gathered women were “fascist scum.”
The Met Police confirmed to The Telegraph that three arrests had been made, with investigations ongoing.
Let Women Speak events are hosted by women’s rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen, also known as Posie Parker, whom some of the banners called “a fascist.”
“Anyone can turn up and anyone can speak (but we ask that men wait until the end),” info on the events say. “You can speak about whatever you like, these are free speech events, as long as what you want to say is legal.”
Keen also runs the group “Standing for Women,” which is fighting for the word “woman” to be “retained to mean ‘adult human female’ only.”
“Without this word all of our rights and protections are lost,” her website argues. “If our rights become dependent upon ‘gender’ then they are no longer women’s rights, they are ‘feminine’ rights.”
Video from Sunday’s event shows her being cheered as she defined the word “woman” — while also attacking beliefs held by her trans critics.
“No woman has a penis — and non-binary is nonsense,” she said, later thanking cops for helping women feel safe at the free-speech event.
