Trans rights protesters block viewing of controversial gender critical film at Scots uni for second time
dailyrecord.co.ukUniversity of Edinburgh was cancelled for a second time after protestors clashed at the campus. A number of trans rights activists showed up to oppose the film ‘Adult Human Female’ being shown at the university’s Gordon Aitken Lecture Theatre on Wednesday.
The protestors blocked the entrances to the venue and appeared to stop folk from entering the space that was set to show the film.
Supporters of trans rights at the university have continuously argued against the screening of the film, claiming that it endangers trans people by questioning their legitimacy to exist, reports Edinburgh Live.The film, made by independent filmmakers Deirdre O'Neill and Mike Wayne, is billed as an "explainer about the issues, how far things have already changed for the worse for women and how difficult it has been to be heard, to be listened to".Images from the event showed several trans activists with flags blocking the entrance to the screening, while those hoping to attend the film were denied access to the campus building.
Video footage outside of the protest appeared to show a woman trying to get into the screening and accusing those protesting of denying her right to view the documentary.This morning Cabaret Against The Hate Speech said on Twitter: "Last night we proved queer joy is one of the most powerful forms of activism.
