==Clashes with LGBT Movement==
   −
In recent years, Greer has come under attack from the LGBT movement for her opposition to [[transgender]] ideology. In 2009 she wrote a column saying that men passing as women "seem to us ghastly parodies" and that they were suffering from "a delusion". She refused to recant and since them has been regularly denounced by transgender rights groups. In 2012 she was glitter-bombed in New Zealand by some of these activists. <ref>http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/03/14/in-photos-germaine-greer-glitter-bombed-for-trans-comments/</ref>. In England in 2015 an LGBT group tried to ban her from speaking at Cardiff University because of her views on this issue. Greer first said she would not speak, then after much furore, she changed her mind and decided to give the talk. It is curious that a woman who was once so popular for her non-traditional views is now unpopular because of her traditional views and is banned because of her views on the only subject on which she has ever been undoubtedly, completely correct. <ref>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/nov/18/transgender-activists-protest-germaine-greer-lecture-cardiff-university</ref>
