"Tate Modern in trans rights row as female artists protest screening of ‘one-sided’ film
But the gallery insists that short film What is a Woman? reflects multiple viewpoints, including the views of gender-critical people
The gallery screened What is a Woman? by Norwegian director Marin Håskjold on Friday evening as part of an evening focused on female artists.
In it, a trans woman is drawn into an argument in a women's changing room over whether she should be there."

What a shame the other artists have been overlooked now.

After watching what we can online, It feels cheap art. Give us Judy Chicago any time!

Just watched something (an audience discussion thing) around the other film she's done where a man wears a red dress to a meal with friends. Slightly more interesting except that it's bloody obvious to the women what the message is. For the mostly gay men the Penny seems to drop for the first time. It just feels like naïve, easy art.

I was there. Yes, the film had a ‘terf’ character using our arguments but she was either ignored or accused of being bullying / unreasonable for making them.

The film (as they always do) had a passive, feminine-looking transwoman who was the only character to spend the whole of the film with their bottom half fully covered & their top half only in a bra. The message was very clear.
