Julie Bindel: the OG journalist who fought trans insanity nearly alone for years

The Same Drugs

Julie Bindel is a longtime journalist and feminist who was among the first to push back against trans-identified men attempting to access women-only spaces, when she wrote an article called "Gender benders, beware" for The Guardian. Julie has been attacked, harassed, slandered, and no-platformed ever since, but she never left the fight, despite being mostly alone in her push back in the media and journalistic world for many years. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Julie about her history in the fight for women’s rights, the term “gender critical,” the debate raging about platforming autogynephiles, and the state of the fight against gender identity ideology today.
