Why is Australia importing anti-trans activists?

A speaking tour claiming to quote ‘let women speak’ has been at the centre of disturbing scenes across Australia.

Last week in Melbourne, neo-Nazis stood on the steps of Victorian parliament and openly performed the nazi salute. Meanwhile in Canberra, Senator Lidia Thorpe was tackled and held to the ground by police as she tried to protest the tour.

So, who is the British woman touring Australia, provoking these scenes? And why is she here?

Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper and co-editor of the book Nothing to Hide: Voices of Trans and Gender Diverse Australia, Sam Elkin on the woman who calls herself Posie Parker and why Australia is importing anti-trans activists.
