Oxfam is facing a boycott over a Pride month cartoon which saw it accused of basing an anti-trans 'villain' on JK Rowling.
Consequently, they edited the video, omitting the term TERF, while expressing their apologies for any offence caused.
The charity stated, "We wholeheartedly support every individual's right to uphold their philosophical beliefs, and we firmly believe in respecting an individual's identity, irrespective of their sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or sex characteristics." Detractors accused the organization of imposing "trans ideology" on young people, while also capitulating to "anti-trans fanatics."
This online frenzy occurs in the wake of recent events involving trans rights protesters disrupting a talk at the Oxford Union, where feminist campaigner Professor Kathleen Stock advocated for women's single-sex spaces.
