Nottingham City Council says it stopped Julie Bindel's talk due to her views on transgender rights
, city councillors Adele Williams and Neghat Khan said ticket sales and marketing of the talk had been "undertaken independently with no input from the council".
"We did not want the use of one of our library buildings for this event, taking place during Pride month, to be seen as implicit support for views held by the speaker which fly in the face of our position on transgender rights."The event was held outside the library, following the council's decision "They didn't even give me an example of how I'm supposed to be anti-trans which is clearly the implication," she said.
