Adult Human Female is a documentary that critically examines the new leftist idea that you can decide for yourself what gender you are. According to the film, this is harmful to women's rights.
On Wednesday, the documentary was to be shown at the University of Edinburgh, and LGBTQ activists organized to stop the screening, including by writing to the rector. This did not lead to any results.
In connection with the planned film screening, a group of activists instead blocked the entrance to the room where the documentary was to be shown. When the screening was moved to another location, they blocked the entrance there as well. Arguments ensued and eventually the event had to be cancelled.
“You cannot spread hate and expect not to be questioned,” writes one of the participating left-wing activists on Twitter and calls the film “transphobic”.
This post has received a response from none other than the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who responds with three emoji hearts.

The group Reality Matters, which is behind the documentary, reacts to Greta's post. To The National they state that they have two questions for the Swedish climate activist:
– Has she seen the film? Because if she had, she would know that at no point does it “spread hate”?
– Why does she think that scientific facts are important in the fight against climate change, but easy to ignore when it comes to define gender?
Joanna Cherry, member of the British Parliament for the Scottish National Party, is also one of those critical of Greta's tribute tweet. She writes on Twitter that it is shameful that Greta gives her support to those who use scare tactics to silence women's voices.
