Nottingham City Council confirmed it has cancelled a talk at a city library due to the author's views on transgender rights. Julie Bindel had been due to speak at Aspley Library about 'feminist activism to end male violence in Nottingham' on Saturday, June 25.
However, the city council said Ms Bindel's views on transgender rights were at odds with the authority's equality, diversity and inclusion strategy. In a thread on Twitter, the author said: "I was asked to speak to (predominantly working class/young) women about feminist activism to end male violence in Nottingham."
"The event was sold out very quickly, and was due to take place at @NottmLibraries. Just now, we have been informed that the talk is cancelled. Why?" Because misogynistic men's rights activists (masquerading as supporters of trans rights) have badgered & harassed the venue to the point where they could take no more inconvenience."
