Anti-trans campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, who also goes by the name ‘Posie Parker’, is to lose her deposit after receiving just 0.5% of the vote.
Keen-Minshill shifted her attention to Bristol Central for the General Election, after threatening to stand as an independent for the Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven seat.
Green Party candidate Carla Denyer took the Bristol Central seat with 24,539 votes (56.6%), while Parker received just 196 votes, equal to 0.5%.
Keen-Minshull has been ‘credited’ for popularising the use of the term “adult human female” to define a woman and she has used billboards, posters, stickers and social media to promote anti–trans rights messages. Keen-Minshull has held anti-trans events in the UK, the US, Australia, and New Zealand, where she was escorted out of the country by police after being ‘tomatoed’ by supporters of trans rights.
