Bindel had published that he considered to be transphobic, including a 2004 article in The Guardian entitled, “Gender benders, beware.”

Concern from transgender student Marcus Kearns sparked the conversation about whether to host Bindel

Bindel was scheduled by the Social Justice LLC to speak about her book, “The Pimping of Prostitution: Abolishing the Sex Worker Myth” on Nov. 8.

he article provides an early glimpse into the unease and, in some cases, hostility, some feminists have that women’s issues will be obscured by the trans rights movement. Bindel has apologized in the past for the tone of the piece.

St. Edward’s University joined the national conversation by cancelling a talk by British feminist and political activist, Julie Bindel, based on views she had expressed about the transgender community.

Bindel said. “There is absolutely no way that this group of people, the bullies, have read anything that I’ve written or said that has warranted this response. This is merely a tactic to shut down the voice of feminists that protest against male violence.”

Doing US book tour. Invited to a college by dept. head to talk about harms of sex trade. Queer ISIS trans cabal and allies bullied college into cancelling. This is not about *MY* free speech, just McCarthyite silencing of feminists who expose male violence and abuse.

Bindel, a self-described radical feminist

Veronica Carleton, who is Sloan’s teaching assistant,  argued that Bindel should be allowed to speak, suggesting that hosting — and challenging —Bindel “is about protecting the transgender community.”
