If anyone is a member of the Oxford Union it says her talk is at 5pm tomorrow.

Is anyone from FWR going?

"Important and successful" might be debatable but I take your point. And for poor Riz, they're going to find the hard way that the internet never forgets especially when you make a giant, attention-seeking tit/[other non-gendered body part] of yourself.

Critique noted, substitute with ‘self important and wealthy’?

Hannibal eventually decided that the world wasn't, after all, actually more interesting with Clarice alive

I think it came from Twitter, but my absolute favourite moment from all this was a cropped picture to show Riz's head on the table and the caption:

"Bloody hell, Salome, not again?"

I feel a bit sad for Riz, it’s no fun having an important and successful daddy who only notices you when you get in the papers for acting like a prize nob.

Apologies for the incipient misgendering but, henceforth, Riz will be known to me as 'The Head girl'.

It's fascinating how a confident butch lesbian genuinely unsettles some people.

I suppose if your brain has to process the input of "woman in man-gender attire, but who doesn't insist on being called a man", then it might have to compute that a bloke in a dress might just be a bloke in a dress, which I imagine causes much synaptic grinding and mental grunting amongst genderists.

Also, the fact that they genuinely don't give a fuck what people think of their appearance in a world in which your image is your identity label and how others are supposed to validate you, must be quite enraging.

Well I could mention there was a woman protesting with her hands glued to the floor right in front of Stock lol

Oh dear! After your thread on misgendering and all that!

I guess this unravels things a bit more for readers. Never a feminist, but also not a true trans activist either. Just here to shame women who disagree with you.

Shame once the individual got their pritstick out they didn't go - shall we all go to the library and carry on the debate. Last one out turn the light off leaving said individual sitting alone in the dark

Pray tell, when Cambridge allow the public to their speaking events, how is it "nonsensical"

Because wtf is an ‘Oxford’?

What? In her own chair? You really have no idea on anything, do you?

You grab whatever you think will be a clever gotcha from twitter and race over to fling it onto a thread. By now it really must be for the humiliation. You simply can not post with a positive intention to engage or contribute.

This. It’s this.

It’s always been this.

For shame, Riz is a they/them! Tut!

It really says something that if I had my time again and was clever enough to go to Oxford or Cambridge, or any number of other so-called elite institutions, I'd pass, and find a vocation where I could be true to myself.

Kudos to this student, I hope they find a good future after graduating. Because it certainly isn't the real world in these places.

Are you sure it was a woman? How can you tell?

IwantToRetire · 01/06/2023 00:08

The most thoughtful is from a young woman I’m later told is a lesbian who, having written a student newspaper article defending Stock’s right to speak, has been banned from Oxford LGBTQ+ meetings.

Its a great shame that those newspapers and journalists who are willing to write about gender critical views dont do more to protect the unknown women who are being cancelled and intimidated.

Without disrespecting Kathleen Stock who has experienced that, now she is more of a public figure she is less likely to be ignored.

This young woman will probably never be able to enjoy her time at Oxford after this.

Just shocking, and when the TRAs try to say that GC views are like Section 28 and yet they are the ones who are silencing and intimidating gay men and lesbians.
