About Jo Bartosch

Jo Bartosch didn’t set out to be a journalist; she arrived there via feminist activism. In her twenties and thirties she campaigned on a range of unsexy but important issues, including tighter regulation of the sex industry, and built a thriving feminist network in the South West of England. A blog and a column for her local paper provided the bridge into professional writing.

She went on to become one of the earliest and most forthright writers on the risks posed to children at gender clinics, first reporting concerns around London’s Tavistock for a major British outlet in 2017. Today she is widely published across the UK press and a familiar face on broadcast media, where she offers forthright commentary on transgenderism, women’s rights and pornography. She is assistant editor at The Critic, and her first book, Pornocracy, co-authored with Robert Jessel, is available from Amazon and other book shops.
