A female comic and healthcare worker says she has been spat at on the street and shunned by long-time colleagues for daring to put on a performance about biological women.
Award-winning funny woman Elaine Miller's Fringe show Viva Your Vulva: The Hole Story has been the target of abuse from those judging her as a "transphobe". She says that at the end of the Edinburgh show she makes a reference to the importance of language in getting across healthcare messaging.

Oh, my god no.

Elaine is brilliant.

FFS! Wish I was there, I would go and see her.

We are living in a time when the only people allowed to call themselves women, are men.

That's progression for you.

I wonder if puppetry of the penis ever faced issues for being transphobic?

Joking - they were men and so were allowed to do what they like

Spat at

jeez what’s wrong with people?

It's just been announced that Elaine will be appearing at the FiLiA conference in Cardiff in October. From the FiLiA newsletter:

Comedy: Gusset Grippers is one not to miss! This comedy show from Elaine Miller, fresh from her #VivaYourVulvaTheHoleStory at the Edinburgh Fringe: “Making people laugh about something embarrassing means they will talk about it, and talking is kryptonite to taboos”.
