The "london radical feminist conference" is the SAME event that was banned from Conway Hall for their discriminatory stance against Transpeople.

So, now we not only have Gail Dines in cahoots with the radical religious right, she is sharing a stage with bigots like Shiela Jeffreys and endorsing this group's exclusionary, anti-trans bigotry.

Can't say I'm surprised. Way to go, Gail.
