A speaker at a ‘Let Women Speak’ event in the United Kingdom has quoted Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in a speech against transgender rights.
The event held in Newcastle last weekend was organised by activist Kellie-Jay Keen, who also appears online under the moniker Posie Parker. Keen has held her events across the United Kingdom and throughout America. They have often been the sites confrontations between supporters and protestors.
The event began with Keen saying she does not recognise transgender people or non-binary people, before opening up the floor for anyone to speak. In front of a small crowd, speakers spoke about their views on transgender rights. While police stood between them and a contingent of protestors who were kept at a distance.
One of the first speakers to take to the microphone shared her view that support for transgender rights was created by a form of mass hypnotism. She has since been identified as Lisa Morgan, the Chair of the UK Guild of Hypnosis Practitioners.
“Language is the thing” Morgan said at the beginning of her speech before sharing that she was a hypnosis practitioner with thirty years’ experience.
“I’ve been doing hypnosis for thirty years, helping people hypnotise others and I know about language.
“And this”, Morgan said, gesturing towards the assembled protesters supporting transgender rights, “Is based on something we call ‘The Big Lie'”.
“Do you know ‘The Big Lie’?” Morgan asked the crowd, “The big lie was first described by Adolph Hitler in Mein Kampf.”
” The big lie. It’s such a big lie that ordinary people like us think, ‘Well, that can’t be a lie, because I would never tell such a big lie as that.’ We only lie in small ways.
“The big lie, well there is one big lie going on and it was begun by men in the early part of the 20th century. It began when they had an erotic fantasy and they decided they were going to sell us the big lie – and what was the big lie? The Big Lie is trans women are women, but they are not, are they? They are men, and we know that.”
Morgan went on to say that trans activists were using hypnotic techniques by constantly repeating catch phrases.
“The more you hear that ‘trans women are women’ the more a shadow of that big lie is in your head.” Morgan said, before going to claim every time a transgender person was addressed using their pronouns people were creating affirmations that adjusted their thought processes.
