UK anti-trans activist vows return to NZ, speaks about Melbourne Nazis

UK anti-trans activist vows to return to New Zealand to ‘win the war’ after she was chased out of the country – as she breaks her silence on Melbourne rally gatecrashed by neo-Nazis

• Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull calls NZ PM ‘gutless coward’ 
• Called neo-Nazis ‘men who wave their hands in the air’

A British anti-trans activist has called New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins a ‘gutless coward’ and vowed to return to the country where ‘he will apologise’ to her.

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull fled New Zealand last Sunday after she had tomato juice and eggs thrown at her during a rally in Auckland as part of her ‘Let Women Speak’ tour.

Addressing her fans in a money raising video on YouTube on Saturday, she said she would return to the country for an apology.

Ms Keen-Minshull also broke her silence on the neo-Nazis who had gatecrashed one of her rallies in Australia when she visited Melbourne on March 18.

‘We’re gonna win this war, women, and then I will come back at the invitation of the Prime Minister, who wants to make an all-out apology to everyone,’ she said.

‘He will apologise, and if it’s not him, it will be the next prime minister because he’s not gonna last. He’s a gutless coward.’

Ms Keen-Minshull was taken to the airport by police a day after the disastrous rally at Auckland on March 25. 

Before flying out, she tweeted that NZ was ‘the worst country for women I have visited in a long time’. 

A planned event in the capital Wellington was cancelled. 

Mr Hipkins condemned the violence at the Auckland rally, but said most of the protestors – who outnumbered Ms Keen-Minshull’s supporters – were respectful. 

‘I don’t believe people should throw things at a protest, whether what they’re throwing is a soup or a brick,’ he said. 

‘Ultimately, the right to free speech does not extend to the right to physical violence.’ 

Ms Keen-Minshull said she had not felt safe in New Zealand and that she was better protected by police in Australia.

She described arriving at Albert Park, where she was due to speak, as ‘not welcoming. 

‘The sound was a mob … an aggressive, male mob,’ she said.

She claimed the incident had left her fearing for her life before she appeared to walk back on her comments in her latest YouTube video.

Ms Keen-Minshull said having tomato juice thrown at her made her more determined to speak up for women. 

‘I was in this mob and this bloke threw tomato juice at me. I think I was supposed to feel humiliated and not want to go on … but in that moment I genuinely thought “f*** you,” that’s not going to stop me speaking,’ she said.

‘That’s supposed to make me feel like I look awful and stupid. But people haven’t come here to see if my hair is curled or my makeup is on well,’ she said.

‘In that moment I thought “I’m going to show the world what this is.” So I carried on filming. I wanted nobody to deny the aggressive misogyny of trans activism.’

Ms Keen-Minshull said she felt she was in danger when protesters broke through barriers. 

‘They are frenzied, they are an organism of hate,’ she said. ‘It’s like pack animals, it’s insane,’ she said.

At that moment, she said she thought ‘This is what it’s like to die. I just thought “I’m going to be crushed to death”.’  

Flying from Auckland to London she transited in Dubai, where she said she ‘felt safer as a woman than in NZ’.

On her broadcast, Ms Keen-Minshull also spoke out about the neo-Nazis who attended her rally in Melbourne during her tour in Australia in March.

Anti-trans protestors had gatecrashed the rally and performed the Nazi salutes on the steps of the Victorian Parliament. 

‘There was something really dodgy and orchestrated about the arrival of men who like to wave their hands in the air,’ she said. 

‘There’s something really interesting about the fact that those men could have stood anywhere, could have done their little kind of salute anywhere, but they choose not to do it near women, who could have showed their distaste and upset. 

‘No, no, no, they did it near the TRAs (trans rights activists) and what they did is they looked like they were standing on the side of women.’

She added: ‘There’s something hilarious about the rabid, particular strand of left wing socialist feminists that I’ve really enjoyed it.

‘That’s kept me amused, even in my darkest hour.’
