She's being supported by the FSU

All the claims they make about people feeling unsafe because of her views...she actually is unsafe because of their views...on her views.

Words are not violence. People, of all hair colours, need to learn that their views will not be universally shared. Agreeing to disagree should be taught in schools.

The latest nonsense was an attempt to change language again: transwomen and non transwomen (as in TW were the original and we cannot use the word women 😂).

She makes valid points extremely clearly, basically highlighting that women are women and men are not.

For that she's faced being thrown out, as though she's the one lying!

So bad. Orwellian

Have put the podcast in my library. 👍

Has the SU been sleeping through the last two years? Are they not aware of all the harassment and discrimination cases won by women subject to those, on this subject? Do they believe that their constitution trumps national legislation and settled case law?

They cannot hope to win in court, but sadly, in a way, they have a victory. They've pushed her out and it's unlikely that she will regain her place before she has completed her degree.

They are utter scum.

I dunno, this will have legs, they will loose, the podcast will be listened to far and wide.....

The podcast looks fantastic. Have bookmarked.

TRAs trying to silence people - again?
When will they develop a conscience or real-world awareness?

Please give her some good ratings! She says the TRAs at the university have been voting her podcasts down.

Show quote history

OK! I will do that.
I'm very impressed with her. Interesting, intelligent conversation and interesting guests.
But more than that- to stand for what she believes, as an outsider in her environment and so young.
I would not have had her courage at that age. Not even now really.
Happy to support her.
Thanks for the heads up!

i see the comments demonstrate that hardly anyone understands what "gender critical" means, but at least everyone seems to understand the nonsense of "inclusive" as long as you conform.

Iirc this is the same student who was quoted in the media when there were men using female nightclub toilets. All power to her and I’m glad the FSU are supporting her.
