The saga of Britain’s Vagina Museum continues. It looked like this tribute to tastelessness would have to close due to lack of interest — or per the management, oppression by the landlord. But the stately institution has been saved:

London’s Vagina Museum has successfully raised over £70,000 in just four days, ensuring it can remain open…

Wailed its website:

“The Vagina Museum is one month away from closing – forever. We are battered from all sides. Reproductive rights are in crisis. Women’s rights are in crisis. LGBT+ rights are in crisis. Arts and culture are in crisis.”

To the extent the Vagina Museum represents its culture, you can stick a fork in the UK.

Once the GoFundMe hit its initial target of £60,000, the team shared: “The Vagina Museum is saved! This #WomensHistory Month, together we prevented the Vagina Museum from becoming a footnote in women’s history. Instead, we made women’s history.”

This isn’t only about women:

The museum’s founder, Florence Schechter, has previously spoken about the importance of inclusivity in its mission. In a 2022 interview with PinkNews, she stated: “Obviously, we’re going to be trans-inclusive. I love many people who are trans. We have trans and non-binary staff and volunteers.”

However, this commitment to inclusivity has placed the museum at the “epicentre of transphobia,” according to Schechter.

The Vagina Museum is an ironic location for the epicenter of transphobia, considering that transsexuals are people who either don’t have vaginas or pretend they don’t.
