Workshop description:
*Over the last year or so, we have seen an increase in anti-trans rhetoric in the media and the rise in trans exclusionary TERF groups.
Come to this workshop to learn more about transgender rights, why TERFs are so dangerous, and discuss the ways in which standing up against trans hatred is directly connected to fighting racism, capitalism and the prison system.*

Its worth looking at the misleading image for the event img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F57333744%2F148688826680%2F1%2Foriginal.20190224-113314?w=800&auto=compress&rect=0%2C140%2C794%2C397&s=33f8a9c8e3a10f6a812ed509492d5255
From a quick look through of the programme cant see any workshop offering the gender critical view on trans rights vs. women's rights.
Not sure who is funding the week of events but it is supported by York (calling itself Human Rights City) and University of York Centre for Women’s Studies
So once again women’s rights is seen as not important by Human Rights and Women’s Studies.
