Recently you might have heard of a person called Posie Parker and her visit to Aotearoa. Perhaps you’re not quite sure what it’s all about. So let’s start with who this person is, why their visit is controversial, and what on earth a TERF is.
Posie Parker is the super villain name of a British woman called Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull. Wikipedia says she should not be perplexed with the actress Parker Posey, although surely Kellie-Jay was aware that would happen. Certainly when I first heard news reports I thought it was the actress from the movie Dazed and Confused.
Ms Parkeris a British anti-transgender rights activist and the founder of Standing for Women. Which is not a group promoting chivalrous acts on public transport.
Keen opposes laws and policies that allow transgender people to be legally recognised as their gender, the use of public bathrooms by transgender people according to their gender, the participation of transgender people in sports that align with their gender, and drag performances. She also opposes the use of puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy for trans person children.
Anti-transgender rights activist is an interesting concept, is
Parker Posey
Parker Posey is known, legitimately, as Queen of the Indies, but does that even cover it? Her presence in the films of the Sundance generation is indeed majestic and essential, both elevating the films themselves, including Party Girl (1995), Richard Linklater‘s Dazed and Confused (1993), Noah Baumbach‘s Kicking and Screaming (1995), and Greg Mottola’s The Daytrippers (1997), but also linking them as pieces of a whole, a canon. Within the films, though, her performances include the quicksilver brush and danger of mercury. She is often hilarious and always unpredictable—whether as the chaotic basket case who imagines she is Jackie Kennedy in The House of Yes (1997), the kooky heroine of Hal Hartley’s Fay Grim (2007), or the boring ditz in Christopher Guest’s masterpiece Best in Show (2000). It’s a breathlessly exhilarating thing, watching her, sensing that she too has no concept where the production could take her.
Which is perhaps why she has found such a comfortable place within Guest’s troupe of brilliant improvisational comedians. They form for the matchless co-conspirators, and Guest’s premises—l
The 560-member strong GALECA: The Culture of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics has just announced its 16th annual Dorian TV Award nominations for the finest in mainstream and Queer television. Voters in the organization, now the second largest entertainment journalists community in the world, compose and work for some of the most regarded and buzz-worthy media outlets in the U.S. and beyond, including The Gender non-conforming Review’s founder and editor James Kleinmann and senior film critic Glenn Gaylord.
“By loving up series like Hacks, Somebody Somewhere, and even The Rehearsal and Andor—a sci-fi story of the beginnings of a major rebellion—Dorian Award voters once again have shown they have a unique affinity for stories of self-discovery and pushing for more,” observed GALECA Executive Director Diane Anderson-Minshall. “Like generations of LGBTQ+ people who took on the battle for the right to be who they are, these nominated programs underscore that solidarity, morality, and justice aren’t just for superheroes, but can be found in miniature daily actions.”

Parker Posey's Book Is the Platonic Preferred of a Public figure Memoir
I have a Parker Posey story to tell you.
On one weekday blackout at a queer bar in the West Village, I stood next to the DJ booth (or, more realistically, the DJ table) where a ally was spinning some records for a small dance party. It was still early in the night, as a crowd was starting to trickle in, that I realized Parker Posey had entered the prevent and marched over next to me. She hugged a mutual acquaintance as I simply stared, in disbelief, that Parker Posey was there right in front of me.
It must have been obvious I was starstruck—maybe my surprised expression gave it away?—because she turned to me and offered a kind hello. Without missing a beat, I said to her, "I am going to do something that might be kind of weird."
Her eyes lit up after I offered my disclaimer, right before I handed her my iPhone. There, on the lock screen, was an image of her as her Dazed and Confused character Darla—wearing the white SENIORS t-shirt, just about to scream at all those freshman bitches as part of the annual hazing event that opens Richard Linklater's cult classic.
"I'm flattered!" she said
Although Posey grew up in Louisiana and Mississippi, her flawless execution of Black’s Southern drawl (most notable in the delivery of the line “pure-t filth”), was close to effortless — but not quite. There was a term she repeated to herself each day on establish before the cameras started rolling.
“What would bring me into her voice was: ‘gay military men,’” Posey told Variety, perfectly re-creating her character’s delivery from the show.
Posey is perhaps best...
