You can’t make this up: The New York Public Library has canceled an event, scheduled for Friday at the main branch, that was to feature women who have been canceled.

Organized by the Women’s Liberation Front, a feminist organization that supports a biological definition of gender, the “Evening with Canceled Women” was to feature “five fearless feminists” speaking out about “women’s rights to a life free of pervasive harassment, silencing, coercion, violence, forced lying and endless punishment.”

That message is now apparently unwelcome in one of the Big Apple’s premier cultural institutions. (Full disclosure: One of the women is my ex-wife, Libby Emmons.)

In a blog post, the WLF’s Natasha Chart recounted how she was informed last week, just a day before the deposit for the room rental was due, that the library wouldn’t be hosting the event. The library gave no reason for the cancellation — which came even though earlier it had assured the women that “the contract was in process.” The NYPL didn’t respond to my request for comment.

The only plausible explanation is that the NYPL fears backlash from trans activists. That is, the women are being denied a platform over their objections to trans ideology.

At a time when our society is radically reengineering our conception of sex and gender — with policy decisions that will have profound ramifications on women’s sports, prisons and homeless shelters, among other issues — the ­decision to silence these women is flat-out shameful.

A similar event to be hosted by the WLF on Feb. 1 at the Seattle Public Library will be going forward, ­despite complaints from trans ­activists. In a statement, the Seattle library said that it “must maintain its role as a stalwart protector of intellectual freedom for all, ­ensuring that all voices — even unpopular or offensive voices — are able to be heard.”

Unfortunately, the decision-makers at NYPL seem to lack the courage of their counterparts in hyper-progressive Seattle.

Third wave feminism is now... banned, in favor of Genderfluidity.
