'A group of academics at the University of Edinburgh hope a third bid to show a controversial documentary on women's rights and trans issues will go ahead on Wednesday.
The film Adult Human Female is due to be shown at a venue in George Square.
Two previous attempts to show it have been cancelled after pro-trans activists protested at the events.'

Good luck to them. And if someone could maybe help the trans activists with their spelling, that would be good. Are these really University students?

'Stop Killing Black Transwoman'.

Eh?

I’m going. I couldn’t make it through for the first attempt because of the train strikes and then the second attempt of course got disrupted by the adult toddlers blocking the doors. Hopefully third time lucky.

I wish I were there!!

Good luck wims!!! I hope this one is successful.

And no creepy people touching women’s legs!

Good luck!

Yes, I wondered who the sign referred to, as its apparently a specific person, and I'm sure everyone is concerned for their safety.

Yes. No crotch thrusting weirdos, please.

I hope you have a good time, rogdmum. Maybe need a brolly!

Best of luck.

I wonder how many times they've killed her? She must be surprisingly good at rising from the dead!

Well, him, in fact, but you get the sentiment 😏

Also, I would absolutely LOVE to know what rights 'trans' people don't have 🤔

This would be comical, if, in some cases, they weren't using this kind of rhetoric to justify attacks on women.

If they are so nuts that they think their enemy is "killing trans people" that then justifies punching women in the minds of some of them.

And of course it justifies shutting down free speech, when your words are seen as "violence".

Not sure what can be done here.

I mean, imo badly behaved protesters that either try to shut down lawful events, or use violence, need to be thrown in prison.

But what do you do when part of society rejects basic principles of democracy like free speech? And thinks they are morally superior in their authoritarianism?

Despite them being, in fact, irrational lunatics.

Do we need government programmes against this kind of radicalisation? More emphasis on teaching "liberal democracy" in schools?

Trans people do not have the right to drive sheep over London Bridge.

You're literally denying their existence!

I do wish Mumsnet would install a 🤣 to their thanks, save, reply etc list!

It does. This is a brilliant article.

I just herd.

Trans people are BANNED from gambling in libraries.

That was gold! 🤣

Love ewe!

I wish they'd stop bleating about it.

Interesting article, thanks.

I read this article this morning; this quote from EUSA made me laugh (my bold:
"We recognise the value of academic discourse in university spaces, however, this film contains many inaccuracies regarding trans people, which has a demonstrable harmful impact on an already marginalised and vulnerable group, without any grounding in reality."

Shame they haven't been able to list any of the many inaccuracies!
