The Oxford Literary Festival has faced backlash for including Helen Joyce, a known gender-critical campaigner, as part of its LGBTQ+ lineup, raising concerns about representation.
Joyce discusses her book on the transgender debate, where she expresses the need for compassionate changes for trans rights but opposes the notion that identity trumps biology.
Critics have called for a boycott of the festival, arguing that including Joyce, who has a history of controversial views on trans individuals, undermines genuine LGBTQ+ representation.
Dr. Natacha Kennedy criticized the inclusion of Joyce, calling the event a "Mickey Mouse event" for its lack of trans representation among the speakers.
