Louise Perry is a British writer and anti-transgender activist.
Background
Louise M. “Lulu” Perry is based in London. She grew up in a left-leaning household with her younger brother. She studied anthropology and women’s studies at the SOAS University of London [School of Oriental and African Studies]. She published a fashion blog called Make Do On Trend. Perry began her career working in a rape crisis center.
She has written for the New Statesman, the Daily Mail, The Critic, UnHerd, and Quillette.
Her debut book, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution: A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century, was published by Polity.
Perry is the Press Officer for the campaign group We Can’t Consent To This, documenting women allegedly killed during “rough sex.” She is also the Research Director and Co-founder of feminist think tank The Other Half.
Perry is married and has one child.
Anti-transgender activism
Perry frequently promotes anti-transgender views in publications. She claims that while in college she came to believe “it was completely impossible to say anything critical about trans activism in public.” That was the “first domino” that led her to radical feminism.
She left the rape crisis center after they began serving all people who had experienced sexual assault.
