    Just watched this, hadn't heard of it before but found it to be an excellent presentation of the trans rights issue from a leftist-feminist-LGB perspective. So many incredibly articulate and perceptive women that I'd never even heard of... maybe there is some hope after all??

    My favourite interviewee was Dr Clare Jane Jones who completely eviscerates the 2+2=5 statement of 'trans women are women' at 8:20:

    'Well, if trans women are women, then they're not trans women, so therefore the statement is women are women. So if trans women are not women or they're some other type of women, then the question is, what is it about this type of women that makes them distinct from other types of women? And the answer, obviously, is that they're male, and therefore, they're not women because women are female. So if trans women are not male and are women in the way that other women are women, then they're not trans women. And then the statement, trans women are women, doesn't need to exist. So it's a logical contradiction, right? There has to be a recognition of sex. Trans women are male people who identify as women. That is a different class of things from female people because female people do not identify as women. Female people are women.

    Embarrassing and rather shocking that the film has to go through basic biology in the first couple of minutes, and it sounds so radical and dangerous, because nobody in public is allowed to speak this clearly and simply any more.

    Cancelled by activists in Edinburgh, a move apparently supported by one Greta Thunberg:
