Kathleen Stock did well here. Bit embarrassed for some of the students tbh.

What is the 'indigenous trans and gender non conforming identities' that Kaldicott refers to at the end of their speech.

Good speech by Kathleen

was the shouting in the background directed at her??

I am just listening to the first speaker. Kass Kaldicott made the debate personal and hostile towards Doc Stock. And it was so emotionally manipulative too. Talking about their 'fear of walking home because of what they wear'.

Oh tut tut, @IcakethereforeIam , Kass (or Kassandra according to their SU bio) is a they/them who identifies as a non-binary bisexual. I think I got that right. But not 'he'.

I've only got 20 min in as yet. Kass is quite cute but tiresome in that 'I'm 20 and I know everything' way.

The first proposition speaker (Kass) was essentially in opposition.

Unfortunately the reality of being at Cambridge is that we don't have the right to offend. I definitely have to keep my GC beliefs quiet there for fear of being cancelled.

Of course she won.

Just trying to watch the first one Cass(?), I wish he'd stand still. Starts around 7.45.

It’s embarrassing that ‘the brightest’ need to debate this.
