In case you haven't seen it, Simon Fanshawe (one of the founders of Stonewall who left recently as he felt it had lost its way) has been elected as Rector for Edinburgh University.

It was unopposed as the other candidate had to withdraw. As you might imagine the TRAs are losing their shit with one linking it to the murder of Brianna Ghey which is truly despicable.

Dr. Gina Gwenffrewi
@GinaGwenffrewi
Ten days since the judge at the trial of Brianna Ghey's killers identified transphobia as partial motive for the murder, the University of Edinburgh announces its new Rector is a founder of LGB Alliance, an organization categorized in Ireland as an "anti-transgender" hate group.

Oh dear. Tears before bedtime (again). It must be dreadful for the KoolAid gang watching the sunlight pouring in all over the place with nothing they can do apart from wailing even louder. `poor lambs.

Apoplectic tears at that!

Never mind!

Well done Simon Fanshawe! His stand on Stonewall , which he helped to bloody FOUND, was really brave and I know he got a fair bit of criticism for it.

The tantrumming TRA academic needs to get a grip.

Oh and Fanshawe is not a founder of the LGB Alliance but don't let facts get in the way
