The Supreme Court ruling on the definition of sex, and more substantively its interpretation in the hands of state and corporate institutions, is a major setback for the ability of trans people to live with dignity. The police have been instructed to seize the phones and search the homes of women who have late-term miscarriages, so that they might be prosecuted under a law from 1861. The manosphere is turning young men into activist misogynists. But the future is yet to be written. In this issue, we bring you news of these developments but we also set out what must be done – and what feminists, socialists, trade unionists, and trans rights activists are already doing – to push back. The battle lines run through our culture as well as our politics. So we also bring you reviews of a new stage play looking at Section 28, recipes from an incarcerated Iranian feminist, and much more.
