Zoomchat with Helen Joyce on her new book

5 replies

Hello

We’re delighted to announce a Mumsnet Zoomchat with senior staff journalist at The Economist Helen Joyce about her new book 'Trans'.

To quote the book jacket: "Gender identity ideology is about more than Twitter storms and using the right pronouns. In just ten years, laws, company policies, school and university curricula, sport, medical protocols, and the media have been reshaped to privilege self-declared gender identity over biological sex."

"People are being shamed and silenced for attempting to understand the consequences of redefining ‘man’ and ‘woman’. While compassion for transgender lives is well-intentioned, it is stifling much-needed inquiry into the significance of our bodies, particularly with regard to women’s rights, fairness in sport, same sex attraction and children’s development."

Helen will be chatting with Mumsnet HQ and answering your questions on Tuesday 27 July at 8pm, and you can book your place now by registering here.

Please note We can only take questions from Zoomchat attendees on the night - please don’t ask questions in advance as we can’t promise we’ll be able to put them forwards.

Thanks
MNHQ

@Cailin66

When I clicked on the link it had a date of 22nd July, not 27th July.
Corrected now - thanks for pointing out.

@ludothedog

Will it be recorded so we can watch later?

@JustcameoutGC

Good move MNHQ. Is this penance for splitting the board?

I went to another event with Helen Joyce this evening, she is incredible, makes you feel smarter just listening. I strongly advise you to sign up.

@JuliaMumsnet will MNHQ also be answering questions on the evening?

Hi @JustcameoutGC - the Zoomchat will be centred around Helen's book but if you have a burning question for Justine that is relevant feel free to ask it and we'll see if we get around to it.

Hi everyone - you should have received an email asking you to make sure that you registered for this event with your Mumsnet-associated email address. If you registered with an email address that is different to the email address associated with your Mumsnet account, you must re-register and cancel your old registration, or you won't be able to attend.

Check your emails for more info. Sorry about this extra step - and thanks for your understanding!

Yes - you do have to reregister with your Mumsnet-associated email address. Or let us know if there is a reason you can't do that.

@GCrebel In the webinar itself, attendees cannot see each other's names, unless they ask a question in the Q&A box, though you have the option of selecting 'ask anonymously' when you do that, or ask a question live (which obviously there is no pressure to do!)

Hope that helps
