Stonewall’s decision to nominate transphobic Julie Bindel of The Guardian for the Journalist of the Year award sparked an angry response from the trans and queer community in the form of a demonstration outside London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in November 2008.

Activists from the Queer Youth Network along with LGBT allies and friends from all over the country have produced this short film (the first in a new series) about their journey and role in the protest.
The full feature length film along with related showings will be screened at at special Film Night in Manchester on 23rd November 2008 to celebrate Transgender Day of Remembrance. Details here

Find out the story behind this film at the Facebook Group Transphobic Julie Bindel Nominated for a Stonewall Award

Presented by David and Tomoi

Thank you to everyone who helped us make this film!

Film is also on YouTube:

Nah I like this weather too! I find walking it very calming/cleansing…

It was like that yesterday down here in Guildford. Dark, not to cold, slight breeze and slight shower… was soooo relaxing to walk in ^_^

I was disgusted by her “queer = ‘kinky’” thing too. And I used to read some of her articles (I’d somehow managed to completely miss her transphobic ones) and think she had a point sometimes, over feminist issues. I was totally wrong. A feminist is one who believes in equality for all. Ms. Bindel clearly doesn’t, so isn’t. And I’m quite disappointed that the LFN supported her.

She doesn’t understand transness, or queerness, or that there’s a continuum of gender, not the fabled binary. Urgh. She’s as feminist as Sarah Palin.

Out of curiosity, how much was it?

I’m looking for a fast 50mm for another format, and I’ve been surprised (and not in a nice way) at the cost.

But … but … that’s objectification! I thought Proper Feminists™ didn’t do that sort of thing!

‘I now have a t-shirt on the way that says “Julie Bindel’s Fanclub Likes My Tits”’

That is so fantastic!
