There are several videos of this incident taken from different angles and at different points. One of them makes it look like the female steward was tugging on a TRA banner and was pulled off and down by a police officer. Another one looks like the TRAs were pushing out of their territory with banners and the steward tried to push her back against it, was shoved, and then turned to pull it away, which is when the police intervened. It’s definitely an officer (female) who puts her to the ground.
The TRAs are claiming it was a deliberate aggressive act by the GC who was provoking them and trying to make it look like she was a victim. This bit of male apologia becomes extra fishy when the longer videos show TRAs pushing and shoving and waving around umbrellas threatening the police while screaming. Still, it would probably help if there was a drone or something about to show exactly who was where.
Mike, that’s very much how they are now playing it in NZ. After the Auckland mess a lot of people who had never given the issue much thought were actually really shocked at the violence on display and the way Police hung the women present for the rally out to dry. The trans lobby and their mouthpieces in the media have since tried to paint the 150 or so women attending the rally as the aggressors and the 200 counter-protestors who pushed down the barriers and assaulted women on camera as the victims. They’ve also described the event as an expression of ‘pure trans joy’ and have either point blank denied that the video of the day shows TRA’s assaulting women, or they point at the entirely seperate Destiny Church rally and say “see they assaulted people” or the entirely separate neo-nazi rally and say “see they’re nazi’s”. Taking a page from Australia and their lump everyone you don’t like into the same sentence and hope the mud sticks. Even the more staid mainstream outlets that had been howling for Posie parkers blood before her arrival have sobered up a little and now describe it as a “heated confrontation between the two groups”, which fails to recognise that all the heat came from one group who forced themselves into another groups space.
At this point it feels like a critical mass of publicity is being reached around the issue and the ‘winner’ will be determined by who can accrete the greater number of voters to their side over the next few years. basically hearts and minds with the trans lobby appealing to hearts and the GC feminists appealing, as ever, to minds. in the US it seems slightly different. the topic looks to have become cultural with little or no meaningful discussion of the underlying issues. Everywhere though it is a topic that transcends politics.

There seem to have been a lot of drones around, dressed in police uniform.
Sastra – so they are playing the innocent victims while their purpose is to prevent women from speaking or being heard?
