The Student has learned that the University of Edinburgh has banned Robyn Woof, Trans and Non-Binary Liberation Officer at Edinburgh University Students’ Association (EUSA) from attending or being within 200 feet of any protest on any subject on the university’s campus.
The ban is a precautionary action put in place by the Deputy Secretary and a Vice Principal whilst Woof is undergoing a criminal investigation for an alleged assault which took place during an attempted screening of the film ‘Adult Human Female’ on the university’s campus on December 14.
The screening was shut down by protestors over claims that the film was transphobic. Edinburgh Academics for Academic Freedom (AFAF) – the event’s organiser – argued in a recent statement that “[w]e think the points of conflict between rights on the basis of sex and rights on the basis of gender identity need to be carefully and respectfully discussed”.
