STUDENTS at the University of Edinburgh have forced the cancellation of a film screening, which an academic union had previously labelled “transphobic”.
Plans to screen the documentary Adult Human Female were criticised by the Edinburgh University branch of the University and College Union (UCU), who wrote to the university principal last week asking that the screening be cancelled.
The film, which suggests that people identifying as transgender is harmful to women’s rights, was also criticised by the university’s Pride society, who held their own Pride stall outside of the lecture theatre where the film was scheduled to be shown.
