JK Rowling play: Julie Bindel clashes with playwright Joshua Kaplan

The gender debate is hitting Edinburgh Fringe this year. ‘TERF’, originally called ‘TERF C***’, imagines the stars of the Harry Potter film franchise staging an intervention with author JK Rowling, following her support for the gender critical movement. The play has already had to change its venue amid safety concerns. Those involved claim it’s a balanced look at the way things stand - but is it a hit piece on feminists like JK Rowling?

Natasha Feroze hosts a debate between Joshua Kaplan, the writer, and Julie Bindel, feminist, author and campaigner.
