Recent events in Auckland have reminded us that a tiny minority of radical activists are determined to shut down the speech of so-called TERFs ('Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists') and stop trans issues being openly discussed. So we invited leading feminist thinker Kathleen Stock on the podcast to have a wide-ranging discussion of trans rights, women's rights, and related issues.

Kathleen was a professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex until 2021, when she was driven out by a campaign of targeted harassment. We talked to her about the Posie Parker episode; feminism and free speech; what gender is anyway; and what futures there might be for those who want to be able to discuss things openly and freely but who no longer feel at home in universities.
