I don't think Barry would claim to be a woman's rights hero. I think he comes from an education / edi perspective first. Following closely behind is his experience as a gay man who has known drag queens and TIMs on the gay scene for decades and seen the scene change. Next is the effects on wider society - a fight against queer theory and authoritarianism and all the massive harms they cause, not least to women, truth and reality.
His course is fascinating, as I have said before. It really does encompass so many fields of study, and aims to help people make a positive impact on society. And it is about equipping people with the skills they need to make sense of society and keeping themselves sane, so they can make an impact.
To be honest it could be re-written as a general studies thing for kids to help prepare them for adult life.
Sorry to Barry if I have misrepresented him or what he does.
I think it is great that their are different GC voices with different perspectives and mannerisms and personalities, who reach different people as a result. I happen to love KJK, and certain other GC names are less to my taste - but variety is good.
