(THE BLAZE) – A festival meant to showcase the experiences of women is being criticized for headlining a transgender composer, and the organizers of the festival responded by accusing their critics of transphobia.
The women-centric event, entitled "What a Woman," was organized by Poet in the City, a poetry and arts organization based in London. The event was marketed as an "an evening of poetry, storytelling, and music celebrating the unique experiences of womanhood."
That celebration was quickly marred by feminists who objected to the inclusion of Alexis Beaufoy-Salguero, a biologically male composer who identifies as a transgender woman.
