I have been on an audiobook binge.
Material Girls by Dr Kathleen Stock
Trans by Helen Joyce
Feminism for Women by Julie Bindel
Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez

What should I listen to next?

I understand GC feminism largely is associated with Radical/2nd Wave so that's probably what I'm looking for, but Kathleen Stock did mention that she had often offered critiques on Radical Feminism, so I am prepared to broaden out.

But I am not that interested in reading about prosexwork, put women's needs on the back burner perspectives at the moment. Julie Bindel has put me right off that stuff. Grin

So GC compatible but don't have to be about the conflict with trans rights specifically.

I did do a search as I'm sure it has come up before but a lot of the results were either for old threads and I wasn't sure about whether they'd be GC or specifically aimed at books for young teenagers girls.

I like your choices! I'd also consider:

Heather Brunskell-Evans: Transgender Body Politics (2020)

Janice Raymond: Doublethink: A Feminist Challenge to Transgenderism (2021)

Sheila Jeffreys: anything really, but her latest is Trigger Warning: My Lesbian Feminist Life (2020)

If you're interested in something USA-focused (while still in a global context) Kara Dansky's The Abolition of Sex: How the "Transgender" Agenda Harms Women and Girls is fresh off the press this month - I'm not sure the audiobook is out yet as she said there was some delay for the audio and ebook - but the ebook is out now so if you can't find the audiobook it should be available within a few weeks.

After the other thread, I'll be seeking out Difficult Women by Helen Lewis.

Thank you for your suggestions. I have also come across Unsporting - How Transactivism and Science denial are Destroying Sport by Linda Blade (former Canadian Track Champion) and Barbara Kay (columnist for National Post) released on audiobook this summer.

I don't know yet if it is any good, but it came up as a related book to another I looked at and I thought a sport specific book might be interesting especially knowing how far down the road Canada is.
