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 the movement. 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.
