Yesterday, Helen Joyce and her colleague Maya Forstater from Sex Matters held a meeting about women’s rights at the People’s History Museum in Manchester, England.

Forstater, a former tax consultant, was fired for politely dissenting from transgender orthodoxy in the case that prompted J. K. Rowling to get involved in the transgender debate.

Joyce, a former journalist for the Economist, is the author of the excellent book Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality.

Observe her smiling as a mob of trans activists follow her down the street, hurling abuse.

Forstater posted on social media: “Women meeting peacefully to talk about women’s rights needed a police escort to leave the building and face intimidation from a mob.”

That’s nothing to smile about, of course. But the continued courage and commitment of the U.K.’s sex-based rights movement certainly is.
