In another example of the ongoing existential threat to freedom of speech, Kathleen Stock's speech at the University of East Anglia has been 'postponed'

^I think this is part of a wider pattern where an invitation to speak is given in the normal way, and then senior management panic in response apparently to some kind of protest,” she said.
“They know that can’t say they are cancelling the talk, so they say we are ‘postponing’ it in the interests of something nebulous like health and safety" The university said the talk could go ahead if a “transgender speaker” is also invited the following week. They said a bigger venue was needed as well as additional security^

If a transgender speaker is giving a speech, can they only do it if a GC speaker is invited too?

What happens when - a la radio 4 - the transgender speaker refuses to share a platform and event?

Is the additional security required (or ever has been required) due to the behaviour of any GC women present?

Disgusting cowardice by a bunch of scared wombats
