Beira's Place
« on: December 12, 2022, 02:41:56 PM »
I did think about putting this on the trans thread since standing up for women's sex based spaces has become for many definitionally 'anti-trans rights' but I think this interview and Rowling's action in helping to set up Beira's Place needs to be seen as a re-emphasis of the need for women's rights and spaces. Something that too many on the centre, left, and  right have been opposed to for a variety of different misogynist approaches. She has some fabulous women involved in this - Rhona Hotchkiss, Johann Lamont, Margaret McCartney, Susan Smith, and the awesome Isabelle Kerr.

And a man shuts up women. Tale as old as fucking time. In a dress.

But there will be no report of the shutting up of women in the Edinburgh University Student Paper because suppressing news of such suppression is fine
