Goldsmiths, home of witch hunting transwoman Natasha Kennedy needs to sort itself out.

Last night they started harassing a load of 'T*rfs' on Twitter and then today they suggested they might like to spend some time in a gulag - before going on to write a rather long, propaganda piece in their defense.

I didn't think leftists like this actually existed.

Is this a real account?

From my recollections goldsmiths has always attracted and projected a certain image.

Anyway back to the gulags... Someone said there would be black bread. I LOVE black bread - can I come too? I'm pretty good at animal husbandry so would be happy to work on the farm.

I'm a scientist so need to be re-educated away from this science mumbo-jumbo so I can embrace feelz.

Found a link on Twitter. A public-spirited person archived it. archive.is/zOGDg

Serious question-if you had a year 13 looking at a course at Goldsmiths at the moment, what would you think? Is the lunacy pretty contained and is the rest of the place just carrying on as normal? Are we getting a very skewed view of it?

It was always a bit of a floaty-quinoa hot spot, which suits some people. However I think I would struggle to be positive about an institution which has problems with limiting the free speech of women, at what seems like a broad and sweeping level. A university, so heavily based in the arts, where students cannot question systems and theories is a recipe for disaster and frankly a waste of money.

Is that a genuine question about a real kid?

I think there are better unis for the same grades at the moment. I don't see why you would bother in most cases. It's a buyers market.

I actually think there are deep problems. The sexual harassment scandal (which was poorly dealt with). And I know quite a lot of people who have worked at Goldsmith’s for quite a short amount of time.

Goldsmiths has a terrible reputation for being a hub for far left twits with a clear lack of basic common sense. I feel sorry for the students who aren’t into all this weird stupid shit.

I’ve never understood how Princess Beatrice ended up going there. I just can’t picture her in a classroom with the kind of student mentioned above.

Yup. Can't say I feel sorry for Goldsmiths after the recent Natacha Kennedy revelations. Wonder how long it'll take before LM files a lawsuit?

Velella · 11/09/2018 05:46

Isn't our dear LM off to Goldsmiths this autumn? Complete with h** cross sex hormone induced chest bumps which will probably be displayed narcissistically on the front page of the LGBTQIAP magazine?

TriptychTwins · 11/09/2018 05:33

This is another example of the level of 'genius' that Goldsmiths produces. As usual, feminist Twitter wins the argument with humour Grin

I also heard that the fragrant Tara Wolf was now jobless and living in a squat.

Goldsmiths graduate though

Skepticat said "former student", so Wolf might be a drop-out. Still worrying that this violent transwoman has come from pomo central.

bd67th · 11/09/2018 03:35

university graduate No, srudent.

I'll tell you who is a Goldsmiths graduate though: Tara "the terf slayer" Wood. That's right, the Deliveroo courier who was begging for crowdfunder money for voice surgery and whacked Skepticat. Clearly h* Goldsmiths degree (assuming graduation here) did so much to make h* employable.

There was a website reference on it, that they had used. Here it

So it turns out that in the minds of the gender warriors the "right side of history" is gulags?

When people show you who they are believe them, ffs.

thecatfromjapan · 11/09/2018 03:19

It's gone. Which is a shame.

I agree with Fermat: it was disturbing.

For anyone who didn't see it, the thread was quite long and stuffed with assertions which sounded very much as though whoever was tweeting had been doing 'research' somewhere. And that begs the question: where?

My guess would be some weird and worrying corner of the internet where Stalinism was being reinterpreted as far less horrifying than we now know it was.

That's worrying. That's a university graduate, without the sense to access any of the legitimate texts on Stalinism, or first-hand accounts of the gulags, that exist. And remember, Goldsmith's is in London, with the British Library.

So that's a university student, who has spent time hunting down and poring over weird-as-fuck websites and thinks they are an equivalent, in terms of truth status, as many accredited pieces of research and first-hand documents.

That is worrying. It points to a deep problem with understanding how to spot 'fake news', propaganda, and understanding what true research is and looks like. And that latter, of course, should be at the very base of what university education is about.

Honestly, Goldsmiths has a problem bigger than a massively anti-feminist LGBTQ+ Group.

That is a thread that really, really shouldn't be happening. And I think it points to something having gone a bit wrong with people's understanding of what 'truth' is. ☹️

Ha, protecting them from rightly deserved ridicule, maybe they are having a meeting with the history department about the mix up between a mini break at a spa and a gulag.

DJLippy · 11/09/2018 02:27

Protected for the sake of safegaurding? WTAF.

Getting called out for your BS is twansfobic abuse? A hate crime? Must be great to have a made up identity that inculcates your from all criticism ever.

I can't wait for their first line manager when they get their first proper job...

I would not like to be the person trying to sort this mess out. Term hasn't even started yet!

"So apparently @lgbtqgold decided to send their account to the gulag?"

Thank you Twitter - sometimes, you are outstanding. Grin

ToeToToe · 11/09/2018 01:45

Tankies = people that defend Stalin/Communist USSR.

Far left nutters.

ToeToToe · 11/09/2018 01:44

Your pics are showing MsBeee Smile

I can see them.

BlazeAway · 11/09/2018 01:42

They've protected their account, that's why. Can't say I blame them — if I were a committee member and spotted that going on I'd be trying to lock it down as quickly as I could too!

NotMeOhNo · 11/09/2018 01:41

My not very pomo understanding is that "essentialism" is when you boil something down to conventionally established "facts" that need to be questioned in light of racism/sexism/etc. So they're arguing that scientific "facts" are only "facts" because they've been invented or prioritised by the white Western Canon. A reasonable de-essentialising of science is to say that phrenology was bullshit.
But these cluckers say that reproductive categories of mammals is bullshit.

Does anyone know what mrkhtake meant by "tankies"?

MsBeee · 11/09/2018 01:38

Oh dear, having props doing this. ToeToTeo would you be up for posting them.
