It is the second time a screening of ‘Adult Human Female’ at the University of Edinburgh has now been axed
A controversial documentary that was due to be screened at the University of Edinburgh was cancelled for a second time after protestors clashed at the campus. A number of trans rights activists showed up to oppose the film ‘Adult Human Female’ being shown at the university’s Gordon Aitken Lecture Theatre on Wednesday.
Images from the event showed several trans activists with flags blocking the entrance to the screening, while those hoping to attend the film were denied access to the campus building. Video footage outside of the protest appeared to show a woman trying to get into the screening and accusing those protesting of denying her right to view the documentary.
A statement that was shared by those hoping to attend the event on Twitter read: “We are extremely sorry to have to tell you that tonight’s screening and discussion of Adult Human Female will not now go ahead. Protestors are currently blockading all entrances to the venue. In a statement on Twitter last night, they said: "They've done it again. Our film screening is cancelled. They have occupied the venue. Freedom of assembly for women is dead at Edinburgh University. Anyone who is appalled by this please come down to protest."At the time Reality Matters said on their website: "In record time, the trans movement has captured the big institutions.
