University lecturer accused of being transphobic for saying only women menstuate

Now it very much seems that universities are running scared of a bunch of blue haired 19 year olds

It's because students are now consumers. Officially being able to rate universities according to their own criteria. Which encourages more consumers - or discourages them if the current batch are displeased.

'The customer is always right' means the students are now in charge.

an unsafe environment for trans and non binary people

This is such absolute rubbish. Try living in a war zone.

Douglas Murray repeatedly makes this point. The adults have left the room. He also makes an interesting point about children relying on adults to help them distinguish between fantasy and reality. But now the adults are telling children they can magically transform into the opposite sex. The consequences of this will resonate through the courts for years to come.

If we didn't need the word women to distinguish a group that has distinct medical needs and experiances distinct significant discrimination , I'd be happy to let people have woman and be man myself. But it's such a bloody useful word.
I find it really hurtful however, as implying that woman is my identity implies that the discrimination is purely my own choice, I should have chosen another group to hang out with to avoid being raped. Victim blaming at its worst

Denounced for stating a biological fact. The cult sound more rabidly bonkers by the day. Facts matter.

What I don’t understand is why ppl are falling over themselves to listen to these children? When I was at university like a lot of students I thought anyone over 30 was an idiot, was convinced of the utter righteousness & originality of my views & was baffled that the world wasn’t being changed in favour of them.

Fortunately actual adults were in charge who just let me rant on but didn’t validate my special thinky thoughts

Extremely upsetting? Unsafe?

What would these people do if a lecturer said or did something that was actually upsetting and made people unsafe, rather than just state biological reality?

This is mad. Male people do not menstruate or have menopause in the abrupt way women do. If transphobia extends to believing in biology and transphobes get expelled from their jobs then Harrop and Webberley will be the only doctors left! Mad.

Well that makes an awful lot of people transphobic then.

One assumes all science text books have been thrown out?

The longer this goes on the crazier everybody sounds

It is extremely upsetting that such views are being spread by staff, contributing to an unsafe environment for trans and non binary people

Good for the academic for refusing to lie about biological reality at the behest of zealots.

*Eva Poen’s tweets were also criticised by Exeter Feminist Society, who told The Exeter Tab: “We are shocked to hear the transphobic comments made by a University lecturer.

“It is extremely upsetting that such views are being spread by staff, contributing to an unsafe environment for trans and non binary people.*

Hmm... ‘feminist society’... I think not.

Biological facts - creating unsafe environments. Best not to go outside. Let’s hope they are not do studying for biology/medical/nursing etc degrees.
