The women who've been hounded for asking questions about gender identity
Listen now
Description
In 2019 Scottish poet and feminist Jenny Lindsay spoke up on Twitter about a post that called for violence against women at a pride march in London. The tweet had been written by a trans activist and was directed at so-called “TERFS” (trans-exclusionary radical feminists). Lindsay says she, and other women who have raised questions about gender identity, have been hounded out of their jobs, and sometimes even out of their cities. But trans activists say their actions are causing harm to the trans community.  Guest: Jenny Lindsay, poet and author of “Hounded. Women, Harms and the Gender Wars,” published by Polity.
