Apologies for those who don’t have access to the times higher ed supplement but a book called ‘is gender fluid?’ by Sally Hines has been reviewed by another academic. She basically says it’s a load of rubbish. Predictably, the woke squad is now urging everyone to buy the ‘fantastic’ and ‘groundbreaking’ book. I am glad that someone has the guts to stand up to her- she has done so much to totally undo the good work that feminists have done to try to help women and girls.

Sally Hines, my favourite!

Gosh, Susan Matthews does a brilliant job. I particularly liked how she drew the link between the text size trick and advertising.

'Postmodern dogma served up as scripture', it is such an excellent review.

In the 21st century, “gender” is used to retrospectively reinterpret what used to be understood as sexual orientation. So Hines looks back to the “late 20th century”, when “anthropological studies often interpreted gender-diverse practices as personifications of same-sex desire” – as if the very concept of sexual orientation was out of date.

These are the people Stonewall think LGBTQI... should revolve around.

That review needs to be emailed/twitterd to Glasgow Life.

Well done that academic! It would be much easier politically to just support it. Although maybe the tide is finally turning.
