Bindel’s sour dismissiveness towards me consolidated a scrap that has been brewing for a while – the Good TERF / Bad TERF split. It was summed up well in a recent social-media post by Dr Julia Long, the radical lesbian feminist activist, lecturer and author. It was about a recent incident involving our mutual friend, women’s rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen, also known as Posie Parker. Keen came to notice with her creation of the pressure group Standing for Women, whose eye-catching (and, hilariously, ‘controversial’) logo ‘WOMAN / noun / ADULT HUMAN FEMALE’ was first seen on a billboard in Liverpool in 2018. Adrian Harrop (a doctor who obviously swerved the human-biology classes) took offence at this plain truth, and tweeted to Primesight, who owned the billboard’s space: ‘Are you aware that Standing for Women is a transphobic hate group, disguising itself in an adulterated version of feminism in order to spread its propaganda and hate speech with impunity?’ Primesight capitulated quickly, but for our humble heroine, it was just the start, as she and her equally attractive and mischievous sidekick Venice Allan quickly became the Cagney and Lacey of women’s rights (they reject the word feminism as tainted by academia), scattering posters and clothing stating this simple fact in their wake as they made activism look like the most fun imaginable.
Back to what Dr Long said: ‘See that one of the misogynists attacking the Standing for Women event held up a sign saying “Posie Parker – Racist Trash”.’ According to Long, the protester likely got this idea from another gender-critical feminist – from one of the self-declared ‘good’ ones who allegedly called her a ‘racist shit’. In her post, Long also called out Bindel who once branded Parker a ‘thick feck’.
