Claire Graham is an English lawyer with a difference of sex development who is critical of transgender activism. Graham has been involved in a number of anti-trans projects, including Genspect.
Background
Graham has worked as a teacher for special needs children.
Anti-trans activism
Graham has been suspended from social media for anti-trans statements.
Graham desribes the conflict thus:
I think this probably illustrates the tension that exists between trans activists and feminists. Feminism historically is about the advocacy for women’s rights based on the equality of the sexes. In other words, all those issues I’ve just mentioned are the focus of feminism. Trans activists, on the other hand, argue sex is a social construct, which denies the material reality of women as a sex class and makes talking about the specific inequalities and discrimination they face difficult. If we can’t identify the group, we can’t name the problem and address it.
Graham appeared in the 2021 Vaishnavi Sundar propaganda piece Dysphoric: Fleeing Womanhood Like a House on Fire. The piece includes other conservative and anti-trans extremists, including:
