Anti-trans campaigner Posie Parker, otherwise known as Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull, has taken aim at trans ally Pedro Pascal online, but supporters of the actor were quick to shut her down.<\/p>\n
Parker took to X to accuse Pascal of being \u201cgropey\u201d with his Fantastic Four co-star Vanessa Kirby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the film, the pair star as husband and wife: Pascal plays Mister Fantastic, also known as Dr. Reed Richards, while Kirby portrays Sue Storm, also known as the Invisible Woman.<\/p>\n
Posie Parker posted a video of the pair at the launch of the film, where Pascal embraces Kirby and can be seen holding her arm and hip.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Pascal revealed<\/a> that he manages his anxiety in high-stress settings by placing a hand on his chest or staying close to someone.\u00a0<\/p>\n Parker captioned the clip: \u201cHe never gets the anxiety gropes around men, does he?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Pascal, unlike Parker, is a staunch trans ally <\/a>who has a trans sister<\/a> and has been outspoken against gender-critical figures such as JK Rowling.<\/a> However, contrary to Parker\u2019s post, Pascal is frequently also physically affectionate with male co-stars, as fans pointed out while flooding Parker\u2019s post with opposing comments. <\/p>\n In response to the tweet, one person posted a series of images showing Pascal embracing and kissing men, captioning it, \u201cHe\u2019s hands-on with everyone. Maybe you\u2019re the weirdo\u2026\u201d The response has been liked more than 17,000 times.\u00a0<\/p>\n he\u2019s hands on around everyone. maybe you\u2019re the weirdo\u2026. pic.twitter.com\/kjEgNJTROq<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lila \u2661 (@gothamsjackpot) July 23, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n Vanessa Kirby has also initiated physical contact with her co-star Pedro Pascal on several occasions, including during a press tour interview where she gently stroked his neck, seemingly to soothe his anxiety.<\/p>\n Yes he\u2019s totally just a creep and it\u2019s so unwanted by both parties\u2026. \ud83e\udd26 if people did an ounce of looking you\u2019d see this is how they are around eachother pic.twitter.com\/UodMCh5rHg<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Casey \u201cCasey\u201d Lambert (@NoChill_Casey) July 23, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n Someone else commented under Parker\u2019s post: \u201cRight-wingers keep trying to make Pedro Pascal seem creepy when Vanessa Kirby has done nothing but speak about how he\u2019s one of the greatest loves of her life and regularly strokes his hands when he holds her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe have to stop demonising a man who genuinely has no ill will towards anybody. Those \u2018touches\u2019 are actually something she\u2019s comfortable with and understand[s] is helping him,\u201d another response read.\u00a0<\/p>\n It isn\u2019t the first time Pascal has been attacked simply for being himself. In July, keyboard warriors targeted him for affectionately cuddling his lifelong best friend, American Horror Story star Sarah Paulson<\/a>, on a red carpet.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pedro Pascal and Sarah Paulson at the press night of \u2018Evita\u2019 starring Rachel Zegler. pic.twitter.com\/fsBJczKxjn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Film Updates (@FilmUpdates) July 1, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n One person wrote of the backlash he received for being close to Paulson:\u00a0\u201cOn the other hand, last time you were all attacking him for hugging a woman he\u2019s known for thirty years. So there\u2019s that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Who is Posie Parker?<\/p>\n Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshul<\/a>l, better known by her pseudonym Posie Parker, has fast become one of Britain\u2019s most notorious anti-trans campaigners.\u00a0<\/p>\n The British anti-trans rights activist rose to prominence in 2018 when she was questioned by police<\/a> over tweets she\u2019d posted about about Susie Green, CEO of trans charity Mermaids, and her trans daughter.<\/p>\n In the tweets, Parker misgendered Green\u2019s daughter and made reference to \u201ccastration\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Parker, who has built her following around saying \u201ca woman is an adult human female\u201d, currently has more than 174,000 followers on X, formerly Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n In recent years, Parker has generated headlines after organising gender-critical protests and events in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the US. She also founded the group Standing for Women \u2013 a campaigning group that she uses as a vehicle to vocalise her gender critical views.\u00a0<\/p>\n
