I know Swansea's a long way from most places but please support this event if you can. Professors Jo Phoenix, Alice Sullivan and Judith Suissa are trekking out west to participate in this ground-breaking event for Wales. On International Women's Day they'll be talking at Swansea University's Taliesin Arts Centre about their struggles for academic freedom and the right to use sex-based research. Joan Smith, journalist and Sex Matters Advisory Board member will chair. This is really important for Wales, where gender ideology is backed by a Labour government that's been in power for 23 years and is so confident in its ability to win the next election that it's decided it doesn't need to consult with women and minorities affected by its plans.
As you can imagine, the pushback has started. There are petitions and protests about the safety of transpeople on the university campus. But still we persist.
Please book a ticket and come if you can. Or buy a solidarity ticket in the back few rows of the auditorium: if you talk to the box office the ticket can be offered to local women who can't afford to pay. Or circulate the publicity among all your social networks. Perhaps someone, somewhere will have a contact in Swansea who'd like to come and meet other like-minded people.
Thank you.
