Video: Militant pro-transgender activists rage, attack speaker at women's rights event in New Zealand, leading her to evacuate



Militant pro-transgender activists were caught on video raging and attacking a speaker at a recent women's rights event in New Zealand, leading the speaker to evacuate.

What are the details?

British anti-trans activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull — aka Posie Parker — took the stage Saturday in Auckland's Albert Park as part of her "Let Women Speak" tour, and the New Zealand Herald reported that more than 2,000 showed up to protest her.

One protester rushed toward her and poured a bottle of juice over her head, the paper said, and then sprayed one of Keen-Minshull’s security guards before being led away.

Fights broke out with pushing and shoving as protesters faced down Keen-Minshull’s much smaller group, the Herald said.

Indeed, protesters "galvanized by the LGBTQIA+ community" drowned out Keen-Minshull with drums, chants of “go home,” and even a Whitney Houston song playing over loudspeakers, the paper added.

A barrier that was supposed to keep the two groups apart was pushed down, the Herald said.

Soon, Keen-Minshull was led away as a handful of individuals tried to protect her and struggled to keep the raging mob away from her before she reached the safety of a police car:

Keen-Minshull said she had “never been as frightened” and felt that her life had been in danger, the Herald said.

She later posted the following on Twitter:

\u201cThe bravery of the New Zealand women and men who came to speak the truth shall not be forgotten. I was honoured to be amongst you. I\u2019m so sorry. #LetWomenSpeakAuckland #LetWomenSpeak\u201d

A statement released later by Speak Up for Women said a planned Wellington speaking engagement was canceled after the Albert Park event was “overrun by a violent mob," the paper noted.

Keen-Minshull said prior to being shut down that she was in New Zealand to “give women who feel gaslit by the state [the ability] to speak about the rights they are losing," the Herald said.

Politicians and other social commentators have criticized her intensely for asserting that people cannot change their sex, the paper added.

"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, who has previously been criticized for her stance on transgender topics in their relation to women, described the protests as “repellent scenes” in which “a mob assaulted women speaking up for their rights."

"Women have become used to lies, threats of violence and outright denial of reality, but if you imagine anyone feels 'defeated', think again," Rowling said on Twitter.

Chris Philp, a New Zealand member of Parliament, called the attack on Keen-Minshull "unacceptable."

“The way women’s rights have been threatened by the trans movement is deeply concerning," Philp told TalkTV, adding that Keen-Minshull "has every right to express her views" and shouldn't have to be "abused by a baying mob."

Keen-Minshull is scheduled to speak in Ireland in April, Fox News reported.

Trans activists chanting 'no hate here' shut down a 'Let Women Speak' rally after viciously assaulting female demonstrators



Kellie-Jay Keen, a women's rights supporter, was forced to shut down her "Let Women Speak" rally in Tacoma, Washington, on Wednesday afternoon after far-left activists harassed, assaulted, and injured attendees.

Keen told Fox News that the rally's purpose was to give women their voices back from the trans movement.

"Women are being silenced all through tech. So, we're taking our voices back to the public square," Keen continued. "When many of those women attended, they've lost their jobs, they've lost their livelihoods, they might have lost their children to this pernicious cult."

Anti-women trans activists flooded the rally and stood around the event waving transgender flags and signs that read "crash the cis-tem" and "trans women are women."

At the start of Keen's event, the trans activists shouted over the speakers by chanting, "No hate here." Due to the noise, the rally attendees moved to the other side of the venue, but the disruptive activists followed.

Keen noted that many of the trans activists in the crowd were men. During the rally, April Morrow was allegedly assaulted by a far-leftist male activist who grabbed and crushed her hand.

"April got her fingers crushed by a man's bare hands. He literally got her hand in his and crushed it and broke her fingers," Keen explained.

Following the assault, the attacker allegedly stole Morrow's phone and smashed it, Keen told the Daily Wire.

"The USA is failing to uphold the First Amendment at the behest of this odious and most insidious quasi-religious cult called transgenderism," Keen stated. "Women must be protected to speak about the erasure of our spaces, our rights, and the words we use to define ourselves."

A video of the event posted on Twitter captured a trans activist aggressively rushing up behind a speaker at the microphone. The protester then shouted, "Nobody cares. Get the f*** out of here."

Another video of the rally captured a woman being ambushed by a group of trans activists. According to the Post Millennial, the victim sustained an arm injury from the attack.

Keen decided it would be best to end the event after she claimed the Tacoma Police Department "failed to show up until the 23rd call for help."

As Keen was wrapping up the rally, she told the crowd, "If there's any police here, there's a man in a yellow hat that said he's gonna f***ing kill someone."

"We aren't going to let any more people be assaulted, and the police aren't coming," Keen stated. "Much love to you all, please donate if you'd like to see us have f***ing security at the next event. Thank you."

Keen criticized the local police for not protecting the women at the event. However, she later noted that one of the reported assaults led to an arrest.

"The Tacoma Police Department had officers on scene monitoring the event," TPD public information officer Wendy Haddow told the Daily Wire. "Police responded to calls from victims wanting to report a crime. This included a victim who reported an assault and damage to a cell phone. An arrest was made of a 27-year-old male, and the suspect was booked into jail."

Haddow reported that after the rally, the police department was informed that a victim had allegedly been pepper-sprayed.

"Today we were advised three students from a nearby school were pepper-sprayed during the event," Haddow added. "An employee from the school called 911 today. The investigation is ongoing."
