MADISON — September 19. Enjoy this interview Thistle did with author and activist Fiona McAnena, who recently released TERF Island, published by Spinifex Press. She discusses the book and explores the challenges and triumphs of the women’s movement in general.

Author’s Bio courtesy of Spinifex Press: Fiona McAnena grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, graduated from Cambridge University, and worked in brand management and marketing strategy in multinational businesses. In 2018 she became concerned at how trans demands were eroding women’s rights and got involved in the resistance. She spent five years as a volunteer with Fair Play For Women, working across its campaigns and directing its successful work in sport. She joined Sex Matters in early 2024 as director of campaigns.
