Will it include XY’s as potential beneficiaries? … just looked. Of course it will.
Yeah that’s really disappointing. Not much point calling yourself a feminist if you include men.

I would very much know whether the Stella Prize is still going to be only those human beings born female………sorry, but nowadays that is not at all a self-evident case unfortunately! If that is not the case I think the organisation has the duty to make this public
Mia: it is public. It’s on the internet. I googled up the Stella Prize.
