Trans activists try to ban gender-critical book ... again

[IwantToRetire]

Trans activists are trying for a second time to have a gender-critical book pulled from an exhibition at Scotland’s national library.

The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht, was removed from the National Library’s exhibition in the summer after LGBT staff claimed it was “hate speech”.

Following an outcry, the book was restored and Amina Shah, the library’s chairman, apologised to its authors.

However, activists have now urged the library to renege on that decision, arguing that the move has created a “hostile environment” for staff at the century-old institution.

The leaked open letter said: “We call upon the library urgently to change course, to make a strong public commitment to ensuring that all staff and visitors are able to access the library without fear.

“We condemn the series of decisions by the board and senior leadership that have led to a hostile environment for queer, trans, and allied staff of, and visitors to, the library.”

Re Northampton Tech Uni and trigger warnings.
Orwell’s book is one of a list of novels identified as having the potential to be "offensive and upsetting".
The other novels on the list include the works of Samuel Beckett, Alan Moore, David Lloyd and Jeanette Winterson.
