'Toxic' sex and gender debate

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Why has the current debate about women’s rights and transgender rights become so difficult? It has been marked by aggressive confrontation, routine no-platforming and competing claims of misogyny and transphobia. How can and should we balance free speech with the competing rights of different groups? And how do we go about resolving these tensions? Jane Garvey hears from Bex Stinson, Head of Trans Inclusion at Stonewell and, Helen Lewis, Associate Editor of the New Statesman and honorary fellow in Women and the Humanities at the University of Oxford
