Open letter to the Medway Community

It has been brought to our attention by many in the Medway community, that there is a literary festival planned around International Women's Day during March 2025. Whilst this is something that we would normally celebrate and support, the director of this festival also coordinates the largest anti Transgender network in Kent and has on numerous occasions posted anti Transgender messages on social media.   

 We believe, as do the team at International Women’s Day, that we should call out and challenge discrimination wherever we find it. 


Therefore, we call upon the organisers of this festival to publicly commit to the following: 


  • That Trans women are not only welcome, but valued at their events 
  • That no Transphobia in any form will be platformed at these events 
  • That Trans women are women 


We hope that the community can be assured that this is indeed the case and we look forward to a welcoming, inclusive, diverse and empowering festival for all women.
