Library that promotes ‘trans joy’ refuses Afghan women’s rights poster to avoid ‘bias’
by Craig Simpson, Telegraph:
Council library refuses to put up ‘No To Taliban’ sign for ‘neutrality’ despite display featuring puberty blockers in hypodermic needles.
A council library that promoted “trans joy” has refused to display an anti-Taliban women’s rights poster in order to remain “unbiased”.
Norwich’s Millennium Library held an art exhibition this year featuring displays on puberty blockers and images of bodies that had undergone gender reassignment surgery.
The library, run by Norfolk County Council, has since refused a request to display an anti-Taliban poster advocating for women’s rights, claiming that the institution must remain “neutral”.
The poster features the outline of a woman in a burqa, with the slogan “don’t forget about the Afghan women” and “No To Taliban”.
The poster, created by the local Norwich Women’s Rights Group – known for its gender-critical views and promoting the importance of biological sex – was intended to advertise a silent vigil dedicated to women and girls facing persecution.
It is understood that the request to advertise the vigil was refused. Campaigners were told: “As a library service we are committed to maintaining and unbiased a neutral stance.”
