Hey up everyone!

After a number of venues refusing to show the film, we're pleased to announce that there will be a public screening of Adult Human Female in Manchester on the 25th of March.

There will also be a panel/Q&A afterwards featuring the directors, myself (Rebekah Wershbale) and local women that have fallen foul of the gender borg in one way or another. Cathy Boardman, who is currently suing her old university employer for unfair dismissal over perceived transphobia will be speaking too, and she's dead entertaining. Worth the price of admission all by herself.

So, if you're in the north or fancy a northern holiday, come see the film and hang out with us! It's a really good primer too for fence sitters to get to grips with some of the basics so if ya know anyone that might benefit from learning about what we're up against bring them along or pass the link on.

Hope to see you there!

Check out "Screening and Panel Q&A of 'Adult Human Female'" on Eventbrite!

Date: Sat, Mar 25 • 7:00 PM GMT

Eventbrite? I thought they refused to sell tickets to Gender Critical events; unless Sarah Phillimore's lawsuit changed their tiny censorious minds!

We got backup in case of shenanigans 😉

There is no eventbrite policy re GC events. Many women's groups use it to advertise events.

However it is likely that the usual suspects target women / women's groups that have a hight profile and put in complaints and then some person acts on their own initiative to delete an event.

@baddaytoquitsmoking

It would be good if you acknowledged that this film is in fact based on the original work of women who aren't given a voice in the film.

This appropriation by the usual suspects as being the mouthpiece we should all listen to is part of what undermines genuine grass roots organising.

You could very easily have done this by covering this originated and grew.

baddaytoquitsmoking · 07/03/2023 22:11

Look, I'm just in it. I didn't direct it and I didn't pick the title and I'm absolutely sick of all the squabbles about it.

It's useful for fence sitters and people new to the debate to learn about the issues. That's what I'm in it for.

And as far as grassroots organising goes, I've been doing it for years. I'm not undermining anyone.

Matt Walsh is a disgusting misogynist. Just because he shares your bigotry towards trans people, doesn't mean he's a feminist ally. Gross.

baddaytoquitsmoking · 08/03/2023 07:22

What are you talking about? This isn't his film. This is ours.

Ye gads I remember when people on this board actually used to read things.

That's fine dear but it has no thing to do with this film.

You might need to go and get some fresh air pet, you are hyperventilating for no reason.

So eager to accuse us of bigotry that you didn’t get your facts right, how typical.

Matt Walsh’s documentary is called ‘What is a Woman?’ The documentary OP is talking about is ‘Adult Human Female’ it’s right there in the thread title.

Facts are so transphobic don't you know.

cheshirecatssmile · 08/03/2023 07:53

My tickets are purchased , really looking forward to the screening and maybe some autograph hunting 🤣
Thanks for the heads up @baddaytoquitsmoking

And happy international women's day

Scienceandreason · 08/03/2023 07:55

@baddaytoquitsmoking Well done and I hope you have a great (and unbothered!) screening.

I really wish I could join you - as well as the excellent film I bloody love Manchester and Mancunians in general as they're some if the nicest people I've ever met in this country. Big love & respect from rainy old Cornwall xxx

AlisonDonut · 08/03/2023 08:01

If I was still in the UK I'd be going along to this.

Hope it goes well Rebekah.

TrombonesAreNotBones · 08/03/2023 08:48

Good luck with the screening.

Am I allowed a little chortle at ElonsMusky, so keen to smear and fingerpoint, bless you honey [head pat].

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/03/2023 08:54

LOL @ Elon. Try harder next time.

RoyalCorgi · 08/03/2023 08:59

Hope it went well last night, OP. (Hope it went ahead, in fact!)

For the trolls on the board, the vast majority, if not all, of the women featured in the film are socialist feminists. So very far from Matt Walsh's nasty brand of politics.

baddaytoquitsmoking · 08/03/2023 09:36

It's not happened yet, not too late to come join us ✌🏻

Brilliant, I am nearby so I will set a reminder

CharlotteFlax · 08/03/2023 13:34

Can I ask about the venue? I see it's 'to be announced' and understand why but I want to know vaguely if there's parking nearby or if it's city centre. I'll be coming alone so probably driving...

baddaytoquitsmoking · 08/03/2023 13:35

It's city centre, there'll be meetups before it's announced.

It will be city centre so excellent public transport links.

I really hate driving in cities so avoid whenever possible but there are car parks etc. for those who want to brave it.

There will also be a bar if that affects decision on whether to bring a car!

Thanks!
