THE University of Edinburgh has been accused of having a “cavalier attitude” towards concerns of transphobia ahead of an upcoming film screening set to be held on campus.
A screening of the film Adult Human Female is scheduled to occur in a lecture hall on the university’s George Square campus on Wednesday, hosted by the University of Edinburgh Academics for Academic Freedom group.
However the Edinburgh branch of the University and College Union (UCU) wrote to the university’s principal, Peter Mathieson, and called for the screening to be cancelled over concerns it contained content that was “a clear attack on trans people's identities.”
