Angela C. Wild vs. transgender people

Angela C. Wild is a French artist and anti-transgender activist who operated an online shop selling anti-trans merchandise.

Background

Wild was born in Paris, France. According to Wild’s resume, Wild attended University of Bordeaux 3 in 1998 before earning a diploma from Efficom College in Paris in 2000. Wild is a single parent. Wild told Daily Mail: “I was in an abusive relationship with a man for a very long time. I struggled severely with my mental health and when we broke up I decided I wanted to create something I believed in that reflected my values.”

Wild earned a bachelor’s degree from University of Salford in ​2008. Wild then moved to West Wales, UK.

Wild’s resume lists speaking at these events:

  • Womyn’s Gathering: The enemy Within France – July 2016
  • Womyn’s Gathering: Stronger together – Building bridges and overcoming false division between women France – July 2016

Anti-trans activism

Wild told Daily Mail: “I set up an Etsy shop in 2017 but after a few months, many of my products were being repeatedly reported. Over the years it kept happening until I was given a final warning in 2019.”

 In 2018, Wild went to the front of the local Pride march with the “Get the L Out” group. Seeing that reportedly radicalized Bev Jackson.

Wild got a significant boost in 2020 after J.K. Rowling promoted Wild’s shop on Twitter.

Wild gave a workshop at the 2020 Woman’s Place UK conference titled “Lesbians in a straight world: Lesbian erasure & visibility.” Presenters were Angela Wild, Grace Adetoro, Sarah Masson, Maji, Charlie Evans & Liane Timmermann.
