De-excluded
Another win.
A campaign group controversially excluded from Dundee Women’s Festival is now being invited to take part in the programme.
Women Won’t Wheesht, a grassroots women’s rights organisation in Scotland, heard on Monday from solicitors acting on behalf of the festival to confirm their inclusion.
The climbdown comes after the group claimed it would consider legal action after being told by festival organisers last month that their application had been rejected.
It’s so inspiring when feminist women are excluded from women’s events because they’re not sufficiently deferential to men who pretend to be women.
Last year, the Stand Comedy Club in Edinburgh reversed a decision to cancel a fringe event with SNP politician Joanna Cherry, after stating some of its staff were not comfortable with her views on self-ID.
The venue apologised, after Ms Cherry threatened legal action, and the event went ahead as planned.
On Monday, responding to the Dundee Women’s Festival development, the MP wrote on X: “Well done sisters. Another victory for #WomensRights thanks to #humanrights and #equality law.”
Carry on not wheeshting!
