‘saying trans people don’t or shouldn’t exist is not a ‘personal opinion’ that we can ‘debate’.’ Ruth Elliott on the protest against the screening of Adult Human Female at Edinburgh University.

‘Adult Human Female’ finally got a showing at Edinburgh University on 22nd November 2023. Here is a link to the RTiE blog entry about this event:

Adult Human Female: Not a victory for free speech

Edinburgh University has seen 2 previous attempts by gender critical activists to screen the film, both were cancelled following staff and students protests. The 2022 documentary claims “to look at the clash between women’s rights and trans ideology” but critics have called the film transphobic.
