Hounded : Women, Harms and the Gender Wars

The last decade has seen countless cases of women being fired, disciplined, protested, or no-platformed for their views on sex and gender. Whether high-profile celebrities or previously unknown feminists, such women’s vocal non-belief in ‘gender identity’ as a universal human condition bears a high social cost. These ‘houndings’ are often presented starkly, clinically, in headlines or fleeting social media moments, stripped of the true cost of holding such beliefs.

What Lies Behind the Headlines?

• What is the reality behind the headlines and noise?
• What are the true consequences of holding – and living with – such seemingly now-heretical thoughts?

Hounded charts the often hidden and unspoken harms women face for prioritising and defending sex-based language and rights.

Key Highlights of the Book:

• Outlines the often-bewildering array of tactics used by opponents against such women.
• Explores the resilience required to refuse to be silenced.
• Presents a compelling argument for recognition of the individual and social harms enacted under the auspices of ‘gender identity activism.’

This debut non-fiction book by award-winning poet and essayist Jenny Lindsay, whose own ‘hounding’ offers a unique perspective, is a solid, sane, witty, but also compassionate account about the very human cost of this extraordinary cultural and political schism.
