Posters are ‘hate crime’

- By Camilla Tominey and Joani Walsh

A FEMINIST group has been accused of a hate crime after it put up a billboard giving the Oxford English Dictionary definition of a woman as “an adult human female”.

The advertisem­ent for Standing For Women, a campaign group set up to protect women’s safety, was branded “transphobi­c” after it was erected before the Labour Party conference in Liverpool. It was taken down on Monday night, a move the group branded “misogynist­ic” and contributi­ng to “a war on women”.

Merseyside Police are currently investigat­ing three complaints about similarly “transphobi­c” stickers that appeared around the city stating “women don’t have penises”.
