“While I may no longer be a student at the University, it is still vital to me that others have the opportunity to take part in lively open debates without worrying about being punished afterwards.

“If Abertay just carries on as before, this journey will have been for no good reason.”

She went on: “Although Abertay denies this, it was my gender critical views that led to me being investigated by the University and this should never have happened.

"I know the University has a duty to investigate all complaints, but to draw this process out for two months while I was taking my final exams was needlessly cruel.

“The University should put a process in place that will enable it to judge what complaints need to be investigated and which ones can be dismissed immediately because they’re vexatious and politically motivated."

This has caused an enormous chilling effect.

Good for her. I hope she has an excellent career in law, she certainly seems to have the brains and tenacity for it.

Excellent news. Lots of sunlight from this story which is good but I'm angry she had to suffer the stress of being investigated. Scotland really needs these strong, articulate women who are not afraid to speak the truth.

I'm very pleased for her. I'm also very angry at the stress she's been put under for weeks for no reason at all.

So pleased for her.
Sadly we need cases like hers to be repeatedly thrown out to get those who see all things women related as cancellable to understand that it's not going to happen.

I'm glad she's been cleared. I think if this had happened last year things might have looked different and I celebrate the fact that things have shifted.

Every word she says is spot on. I can't imagine trying to take finals under that pressure. Let's hope her case has brought about a change in attitude in her institution and wider. I wish her the best of luck for her future.

Yeah she said how stressful it was on her

Good luck Lisa in your new career.

You are an inspiration to all women who go into education later in life
