JK Rowling took to social media to criticise a male activist who led abusive chants as attendees, many of whom were older women, queued to enter.
Women's rights campaigners from Iran and Afghanistan were among those met with protest as they arrived at a feminist conference in Glasgow. Anonymous organisers behind the Glasgow Trans Rally had attempted to shut down the three-day FiLiA conference, which features people from around the world to discuss topics including female genital mutilation. Speakers including SNP MP Joanna Cherry and writer Julie Bindel are part of the line-up.
She said: 'There's various workshops and sessions that are under the guise of women's safety, that are trans exclusionary. 'It is a really good organisation but unfortunately there are certain workshops which are trans exclusionary. 'I'm not saying we shouldn't be protecting women from Iran and Afghanistan. 'For me I'm here to show solidarity with trans people and to ensure their voices are heard,' she added.
