dding-left: 40px”>Bindel has a plane to catch: she is going to visit Vancouver Rape Relief, the centre she wrote about back in 2004 — which, she says, has stayed firmly women-only. She is looking forward to talking to the young lesbians who work there now “because it can’t just be us old ’uns fighting the fight”. When she comes home there will be more women to protect, more fights to fight. “It never ends!” she says cheerfully. Where are the lesbian heroes? Here is the lesbian hero.
She's stuck to her guns throughout. Before all the gender nonsense I think it's fair to say that she was seen as something of a fringe figure on the radical feminist left. An unapologetic Andrea-Dworkin-quoting lesbian? Hmm, not so sure about that. Now though…well, the article comments are full of praise…brave, principled, a hero. The times have caught up with her.
