More on that.
Just in case it mysteriously vanishes later, here’s the post in which Stroud Brewery explicitly state that their reason for cancelling the booking is the speakers’ views on gender. https://t.co/njrEbCDBq3 pic.twitter.com/ANql8fn6kL

We are saddened to hear that @StroudBrewery have chosen to cancel an event by authors of Porn, @jo_bartosch & @robjessel16.

As Stroud Brewery will find out VERY SOON, it is unlawful to treat anyone less favourably on the basis of their gender critical views.

I'm extremely thrilled to be hosting @robjessel16 and @jo_bartosch in Parliament in a couple of weeks to talk about their book. They won't be cancelled, and will be able to discuss their work directly with Parliamentarians. Shame on others too weak to host them. https://t.co/B0VFABTtSK
