The three-day FiLiA conference, which features speakers from across the world including SNP MP Joanna Cherry and writer Julie Bindel, is taking place at Platform. The venue cancelled the conference 12 hours before it was due to start on Friday amid a backlash online. However, solicitors got the decision reversed, citing the Equality Act.
"FiLiA includes transphobia on their website in their zero tolerance list, whilst simultaneously lobbying against gender recognition reform and inviting the likes of JK Rowling to speak at their conference. It is impossible to be opposing transphobia whilst taking these actions. The Chief Executive and co-founder of FiLiA, Lisa-Marie Taylor, said she was "delighted" that the conference was going ahead, stating that the backlash to Platform was " by a group determined to undermine women’s rights and thwarting freedom of speech".
"I stand by that concern, but the fight must go on to allow everyone to debate the issues freely without fear of being vilified and cancelled by a small minority out to undermine fundamental principles of democracy."
