This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.louiseperry.co.ukMy guest today is Julie Bindel, the iconic radical feminist campaigner, journalist, and author, including of a new book titled 'Lesbians: Where are we now?' We spoke about why transgenderism may well be over, at least in the UK, and why Julie isn't minded to forgive the people who enabled the abuses of the movement. We also spoke about Julie's youthful …

The great escape: why the rich are fleeing Britain Keir Starmer worries about who is coming into Britain but, our economics editor Michael Simmons writes in the magazine this week, he should have ‘sleepless nights' thinking about those leaving. Since 2016, nearly 30,000 millionaires have left – ‘an outflow unmatched in the developed world'. Tax changes have made Britain a ‘hostile environment' for the wealthy, yet we are ‘dangerously dependent' on our highest earners: the top 0.01 per cent pay 6 per cent of all income tax. If the exodus is ‘half as bad' as those he has spoken to think, Simmons warns, a 2p hike to income tax looms. Michael joined the podcast to discuss further, alongside private wealth specialist James Quarmby from advisory firm Stephenson Harwood. (1:04) Next: Michael Gove interviews justice secretary Shabana Mahmood ‘There's a moment of reckoning to come' Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood tells The Spectator's editor Michael Gove in a wide-ranging interview in the magazine this week. Gove writes that he has a degree of sympathy for her, given he occupied her post for 15 months several years ago; ‘it's the most glamorous and least attractive job in the cabinet' he writes. The interview touched on grooming gangs, AI and the oath she swore on the Quran. You can hear an extract from the interview on the podcast but, for the full interview, go to Spectator TV (16:08) And finally: ‘pond terfs' versus the ‘right on' Zoe Strimpel highlights a schism that has emerged over Hampstead ladies pond in the magazine this week: whether trans women should be allowed to swim in the ladies pond. The division, between older ‘pond terfs', who are against their inclusion, and younger ‘right on' women, has only widened following the Supreme Court ruling. Far from solving the issue, the fight has only intensified.   Zoe joined the podcast alongside Julie Bindel to discuss further. (27:48) Hosted by Lara Prendergast and Gus Carter. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the writer, activist and Spectator contributor Julie Bindel. In her new book Lesbians: Where Are We Now?, Julie asks why lesbian liberation seems – as she sees it – to have taken one step forward and two steps back. She traces the history of lesbian activism, explains why we're wrong to assume that lesbians and gay men are natural allies, confronts the ‘progressive' misogyny she identifies in a younger generation – and tells me whether she thinks the Supreme Court's recent decision marks an end to the trans wars.

Her most recent work examines the global sex trade, and is based on research spanning almost 40 countries cities and states around the world and on 250 face-to-face interviews (The Pimping of Prostitution: Abolishing the Sex Work Myth, Palgrave, 2017).Julie has investigated the trafficking of women and girls into prostitution for both academic research and journalistic long-form articles in dozens of countries around the worldJulie has been active in research, grassroots campaigning, advocacy and governmental consultation since 1999.

Julie has also conducted more than 100 face-to-face interviews with female victims of trafficking.Over the past 20 years, Julie has provided support to a number of NGOs, IGOs and state agencies in their efforts to prevent trafficking into sexual exploitation, improve the prosecution of perpetrators, protect victims, and build international counter-trafficking partnerships.Websites/blogshttps://www.thejuliebindel.comBooksThe Map of My Life: The Story of Emma Humphreys, Astraia Press, 2003Straight Expectations, Guardian Faber, 2014Exiting Prostitution, editor, Palgrave Macmillan, 2014The Pimping of Prostitution, Palgrave Macmillan, 2017Feminism for Women, Little Brown, 2021Transcript

Phil is joined by campaigner and writer Julie Bindel, the first person to investigate the grooming gang scandal that has so shocked Britain over the last two decades, and which seems to be continuing. A lesbian rights activist and life long campaigner against violence aimed at women and girls, Julie expected that politicians and state agencies would react quickly the the fact that gangs -mostly of men of Pakistani origin - were targeting, abusing and even ending the life of vulnerable children on a huge scale. But instead she ran into opposition and criticism.This is a story about people desperately wanting to look the other way, make excuses and dismiss a class of teenage girls, girls generally from the fringes of society (the kind she came into politics to help). Julie has been part of it right from the start and is still pressing for the accountability and openness that has been lacking for so long.

Julie Bindel – author of Lesbians: Where Are We Now – is the latest guest on The Brendan O'Neill Show. Julie and Brendan discuss why the Supreme Court's gender ruling is so vital for lesbians, why gay rights and trans rights have nothing in common, and why being a lesbian used to be fun. Order Brendan O'Neill's After the Pogrom now from:

Following the unanimous Supreme Court ruling that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law, Julie tells us how and why we got here. This is a fascinating history not just of women's rights, but of the distinct needs of the lesbian and gay communities. If you've wondered how this issue became so big and how it's come to dominate so much of our discourse, Julie is here to explain the roots of it all.This is absolutely compelling.

Hundreds of children were caught up in riots with well over 100 arrested and a number charged last summer after the murder of three children in Southport. Since then far right extremism and racism in schools has intensified - an everyday experience in primary and secondary schools, according to the teachers union, the NASUWT. The top priority at their annual conference next week is a motion on behaviour and school safety with the agenda citing problems caused by the Southport riots. Patrick Roach, General Secretary of the NASUWT joins Nuala McGovern.Frances Mayli McCann stars as Daisy Buchanan in a new musical of The Great Gatsby. The show comes to London following a hit run on Broadway. We speak to Frances and the show's writer Kait Kerrigan about placing women at the centre of this classic story, celebrating its centenary year.Julie Bindel's new book, Lesbians: Where are we now? is described as part-memoir, part frontline reportage and part cultural commentary. In it she examines what defines lesbian culture, love, friendship and happiness today and asks why - in her view - lesbians so often seem to face particular hostility? The journalist, feminist campaigner and author is in the Woman's Hour studio.Today marks 11 years since over 270 girls were abducted from their school in the town of Chibok, Nigeria by Boko Haram. The tragedy sparked international outrage - you might remember the campaign hashtag #bringbackourgirls - and today, global leaders and advocates including UN representatives are gathering in London to mark the anniversary with a photo exhibition and panel discussions. We hear from Dr Aisha Muhammed-Oyebode - lawyer and activist from the Murtala Muhammed Foundation.The Herring Girls were the predominantly Scottish, working-class women who laboured in the UK's once thriving fishing industry. An itinerant workforce, they went from port to port, following the fishing fleet and working gruelling hours, gutting and packing fish for export in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Artist and farm labourer Joanne Coates has spent six months researching the life and work of this community on the east coast of Scotland. Using art, photography and performance she wants to reclaim their history and reconnect local people with their Herring Girl heritage.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

With the health secretary Wes Streeting banning puberty blocker drugs for children and President Trump barring trans women from women's sports, is the tide turning on the transgender debate? Perhaps, but it hasn't come without a fight, often from women who have been de-platformed, sacked and abused for challenging the orthodoxy.Julie Bindel and Helen Joyce are two such women, who have been labelled Nazis and bigots for championing female spaces and sex-based rights. Kamal and Camilla sat down with the journalists and feminist campaigners at Oxford Literary Festival for a conversation about trans ideology, toxic masculinity, and the harmful influence of adult film stars Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips.Producers: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: Valerie BrowneStudio Director: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

For years, Westminster has been addicted to Twitter (now called X). Host Sascha O'Sullivan looks at how the site – and SW1's reliance on it – has changed since tech billionaire Elon Musk took over. Sascha talks to Charlie Peters, journalist at GB News, whose story about grooming gangs was amplified by Musk before going on to dominate Britain's news cycle for a fortnight. She compares how the same story was covered originally by freelance journalist Julie Bindel, who exposed the extent of the grooming gangs in 2007, in a world before social media was so prevalent.  Labour MP Emily Thornberry and chair of the foreign affairs select committee reflects on going viral for the wrong reasons and subsequently resigning in 2014. She explains how politicians' use of social media has changed since then, subject to algorithms that favour right-wing content.  And Sascha takes a deep dive into how Nigel Farage has harnessed the power of going viral for decades – all the way back to his days as an MEP. She speaks to his former comms chief Gawain Towler and social media journalist Sophia Smith Galer – and asks whether the left needs to raise its game when it comes to mastering social media.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the biggest crime—and cover-up—in British history. And most people, at least until recently, haven't even heard of it. Thousands of young girls, mostly children, were systematically groomed and raped by immigrant gangs across the UK over a period of decades. Police turned the girls away. Detectives were discouraged from investigating. Politicians and prosecutors did their best to sweep it under the rug. Journalists skipped the biggest story of their lives. A culture of silence enveloped the United Kingdom. Why? Today, we talk to two women who spoke out years ago about what was happening while nearly everyone looked the other way: the British feminist and author Julie Bindel, and the author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Both took tremendous risks in highlighting the story while the legacy press largely looked away. Bindel is the author, most recently, of Feminism for Women and writes a popular Substack column. Hirsi Ali, a Free Press contributor, is the author of numerous books on radical islam, including Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women's Rights, which helped bring attention to the grooming gangs scandal in 2021.  Julie and Ayaan explain today what happened, how these rapes and murders were covered up in the name of preserving “social harmony,” how it's still happening, why Elon Musk is suddenly tweeting furiously about it and how Britain's ruling class is being forced to reckon with a scandal it had, until recently, successfully ignored.  It's a story about “tolerance” run amok, and how a civilized country can convince itself to accept the most uncivilized crimes imaginable.

This week: what does justice look like for the victims of the grooming gangs? In the cover piece for the magazine, Douglas Murray writes about the conspiracy of silence on the grooming gangs and offers his view on what justice should look like for the perpetrators. He also encourages the government to take a step back and consider its own failings. He writes: ‘If any government or political party wants to do something about the scandal, they will need to stop reviewing and start acting. Where to begin? One good starting point would be to work out why Pakistani rapists in Britain seem to have more rights than their victims.' To unpack his piece in a little more detail, we were joined by journalist Julie Bindel, who has been reporting on the grooming gangs for almost 20 years. (03:20) Next: ‘Why I'm voting for the AfD' In the magazine, Elisabeth Dampier explains why she will be voting for Germany's AfD party – Alternative for Deutschland. Support for the hard-right AfD party grew dramatically in 2024 and is often used as an example of a broader trend of support for right-wing politics in the West. But is the key to their success as simple as an unpopular incumbent government and the salience of immigration? And how do they deal with constant comparisons to National Socialism? To discuss, we were joined by Elisabeth and German historian and journalist Katja Hoyer. (17:09) And finally: Help! I'm addicted to videos of plane crashes Damian Thompson writes an excellent guest Life column this week on his latest obsession: binge-watching aeroplane crash videos on YouTube. Now, this does sound a little bit morbid but – as he explains – it's actually very educational, especially when you are being talked through the intricacies of air accidents by Petter Hörnfeldt, who runs the Mentour Pilot YouTube channel. We thought it would be fun to get Damian in conversation with his new hero, Petter. (29:46) Hosted by Lara Prendergast and William Moore. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

“I don't ever want to make the mothers have to be the ones to gatekeep for who comes in. I'm going to do that for them.”La Leche League is a charity that was set up to offer mother-to-mother breastfeeding support and to protect the natural course of breastfeeding and the mother-baby dyad.Ruth, Rej, and Loreto all had their accreditation as LLL breastfeeding counsellors removed by LLL International for “breaches of the LLL Code of Conduct” and “actions that led to the public discrediting of LLL.” This occurred after they made a public statement and spoke to journalists as trustees about the conflict that had been exposed between the policy of supporting male lactation and the LLLGB charitable objects and beneficiaries, which do not include males.In this episode the former LLLGB trustees and breastfeeding counsellors have a conversation with Julie Bindel about how gender ideology has captured the world's oldest breastfeeding organisation to the point that it has abandoned its mission. You might think that something as essentially female as breastfeeding would be safeguarded for women ‒ think again!

Joan Smith, in Rome (where else?)Listen to Joan explain why and how she took on the incredible project of uncovering the true stories of twenty-three women closely associated with the Julio-Claudian emperors of Rome. These were the wives, mothers and daughters of the emperors from Augustus to Nero, via their cruel and deranged relative Caligula. These highly privileged women lived under the shadow of these men, abused, controlled, dominated, and, in several instances, murdered. Only five of the women appear to have died of natural causes.Joan links the femicide then to modern day slaying of women by men known to them, and asks what lessons can these women and girls of the Roman Empire tell us? Ancient misogyny, even from 2000 years ago, looks similar to the plight of women today. Get full access to Julie Bindel's writing and podcasts at juliebindel.substack.com/subscribe

This week, journalist and legendary feminist activist Julie Bindel talks about her new podcast series, Julie in Genderland, which explores the complexities surrounding gender identity, particularly from the perspective of parents of children who've become caught up in gender ideology. Julie discusses the role of social services and educators in shaping children's understanding of gender, the intersection of class and gender issues, and the parallels with social justice movements around the sex trade and surrogacy. She also reflects on her reporting of grooming gangs in the UK, linking it to broader issues of misogyny and systemic failures in protecting vulnerable girls. GUEST BIO Julie Bindel is a British journalist, broadcaster, author and a feminist campaigner against male violence towards women and girls. Her latest book, Lesbians: Where Are We Now? will be published by Swift Press in Spring 2025 and her new podcast, Julie In Genderland, premiered in September 2024. Follow Julie on Substack.

Julie Bindel: Shocking Stories From the Victims of Youth Gender Medicine. Julie joins me to discuss her new podcast 'Julie in Genderland,' where Julie speaks to the parents and professionals caught up in a Kafkaesque transgender scandal. Follow Julie

Sasha & Stella invite renowned feminist and author Julie Bindel to reflect on her decades-long advocacy for women and girls, in-particular her recent work investigating gender ideology. Julie shares her motivation behind her new podcast series, Julie in Genderland, which amplifies the voices of parents grappling with their children being caught in the gender identity craze.In this episode, Julie discusses her undercover work exposing gay conversion therapy, drawing parallels to what she calls modern "gay conversion therapy" through transgender ideology impacting gender-nonconforming youth. She explores evolving narratives around sexuality, the weaponization of female empathy in trans activism, and the systemic failures in supporting marginalized groups, particularly vulnerable girls, as seen in the Rochdale child abuse scandal. Julie also examines the trust placed in medical professionals and the societal influences shaping parents' decisions, spotlighting her podcast series, Julie in Genderland, and its focus on the impact of gender ideology on families and the challenges they encounter.With insights into radical gender politics, parental trauma, and the complexities of lesbian identity, this episode offers listeners an enlightening exploration of gender issues, feminism, child safeguarding, and activism. It sheds light on the intricate intersections of identity, politics, and personal experiences in today's sociopolitical climate.For links and resources relevant to this episode, access the full show notes at https://www.widerlenspod.com/p/episode-185 Buy Our Book – When Kids Say They're Trans: A Guide for Thoughtful Parents at https://whenkidssaytheyretrans.com/   Join Our Listener Community to Access Exclusive Content at https://www.widerlenspod.com/   Support the Show at https://www.widerlenspod.com/p/support-the-show   Join the conversation on YouTube at www.youtube.com/@widerlenspod  For more information about Sasha's & Stella's parent coaching membership groups, visit:Sasha Ayad: https://sashaayad.com/parenting-coaching   Stella O'Malley: http://www.stellaomalley.com/parent-coaching  To learn more about our sponsors, visit:Therapy First at https://www.therapyfirst.org/  Genspect at https://genspect.org/  This is a public episode.

MaiaAt the age of 12, Maia discovered the idea of gender transition. As a young adult, she moved to the Middle East and embarked upon building a new life for herself as a man. She seamlessly integrated herself within deeply religious communities of Palestinian Muslims and Orthodox Jews. Very few people in her life knew that she was actually female. Among her exciting adventures, she prayed on the men's side of the Western Wall and entered mosques without needing to cover her hair. However, living undercover as a man began to take its toll as she questioned the trajectory of her future. After deep soul searching, Maia realised that she had never allowed herself to live as a lesbian. Get full access to Julie Bindel's podcasts and writing at juliebindel.substack.com/subscribe

Kellie-Lynn Pirie, formerly Kenneth Anderson, is a BC-based detransitioner and the founder of Detrans Alliance Canada. After suffering unimaginable trauma as a child, fighting addiction, and seeking escape from her sexualized female body, she decided she would be happier and better off “as a man.” After getting a double mastectomy, a hysterectomy, and going on testosterone, Kellie-Lynn began to realize she'd made a choice that would not resolve her woes, and that she now regretted. She decided to attempt to “detransition” and founded Detrans Alliance Canada to support others who had been lied to by trans ideology and its practitioners. Meghan Murphy speaks with Kellie-Lynn about her life, her experience transitioning, and her feelings about transition now, in retrospect. Kellie-Lynn will be speaking alongside myself, ⁠Julie Bindel⁠, and Bryony Dixon at an ⁠event⁠ taking place on May 30th in Victoria, B.C. Get tickets at tickettailor.com.

经过19世纪到20世纪的努力争取甚至是惨烈斗争，人类女性似乎在男权社会里得到了更多的自由，这其中就包括一些性自主权。大部分女性不会再因丧失所谓的“贞洁”而被社会抛弃甚至杀害，她们甚至似乎获得了掌握自己身体和快感的权利。但事实真的如此吗？ 并非如此，谈论女性性生活里的某些事实，依然是禁忌。在一个看似自由的时代，女性依然不得不面对很多身体和健康威胁，而谈论这些威胁会被认为是“扫兴的”、不体面的。 本期海马星球和医学博士生大魔王一起探讨了女性的自我身体探索、她们快感的生理机制和“性生活究竟是什么”的问题。 最重要的是，男权社会塑造了 “性生活=异性之间纳入式性行为”这样的僵化错误概念，将生殖行为等同于性行为，这对女性的健康造成了巨大的危害，让女性时刻遭受怀孕和病毒的威胁。 我们还讨论了电影《可怜的东西》里的父权性霸权和恋童癖问题。 当女性充分破除从小被灌输的这些错误观念，重新发掘性的丰富、灵动的可能性，她们或许才能体会更完整的自主性，更完整地体验自由快乐的性愉悦。 节目中提到的一些书籍文章和人名： 《海蒂性学报告》by 雪儿·海特 《三八节有感》by 丁玲 《革命的幸存者-曾志回忆录》by 曾志 Julie Bindel（英国） 《女性没有不痛的选择》by 张苹（报道链接：https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/MKn7rXpGQl6ku-9MF8vfwA）

Julie Bindel is a longtime journalist and feminist who was among the first to push back against trans-identified men attempting to access women-only spaces, when she wrote an article called "Gender benders, beware" for The Guardian. Julie has been attacked, harassed, slandered, and no-platformed ever since, but she never left the fight, despite being mostly alone in her push back in the media and journalistic world for many years. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Julie about her history in the fight for women's rights, the term “gender critical,” the debate raging about platforming autogynephiles, and the state of the fight against gender identity ideology today.

Julie Bindel speaks to anti-sexist campaigner and author Jackson Katz, who has been part of a growing movement of men working to promote gender equality. On the podcast, Julie and Jackson discuss the power of bystanders to end rape culture; how men come to be afraid of other men when calling out abusive behaviour; and how men can truly fight against gendered violence. 

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.louiseperry.co.ukMy guest today is Kathleen Stock – philosopher, author of 'Material Girls', co-director of 'The Lesbian Project', and co-host (with Julie Bindel) of the podcast of the same name. I tried my best to persuade Kathleen to become a reactionary feminist, but we disagreed on several points: the merits of marriage, the low status attached to motherhood, and whether modern people are just too invested in the status quo. In the extended part of the episode we debated whether or not women should be soldiers and men should be nannies. 

Linzi, with her granddad, at the beautiful game Linzi, a lesbian and a supporter of rights for same-sex attracted people, was the subject of a four-month investigation by a special unit set up to expose so-called hate speech in the game after she posted on trans issues on X. Newcastle began investigating Linzi following a complaint. In November 2023 she received a letter from the club saying she was banned until 2026 for breaching its equality policy, which forbids 'discriminatory' comments.Linzi is taking legal action to overturn the ban, stating that it is her right by law to express ‘gender-critical' views and that the Premier League's actions were a breach of data protection laws.
