Still No Debate, then.

The fact that they can't or won't argue for it tells us all we need to know about gender ideology.

At least at Cambridge they tried.

It no debate and make it look like there is only support.

Quite the fraud indeed but heck if you’re happy to delude yourself that you can change sex - then your relationship with the truth is very tenuous on any given day.

Fair play to Foran for not enabling their nonsense as endorsed by the Proctors.

Just to say I’ve left a number of comments and they’ve been deleted. They are deleting and hiding any thing not positive.

Poor little free speech haters. Only untruths are true.

There were barely more attendees than protesters - and I hope you're aware of the funding behind this guy. He's a protege of people with incredibly regressive views about women and gay people.

Those (very polite!) protesters did women everywhere a favour. Misogynists should not be platformed in our universities.

Oh dear - a misogynist who will deny women the right to exist as a sex class is saying Foran is a misogynist. Always accusing other people of what they are guilty off.

Sorry your child has mental health challenges and you are a parent will enable them to harm their healthy body. You have issues much closer to home that demand your attention.

I agree Universities are misogynistic. They only let women in through the last decade - Cambridge was founded in 12— and nearly 800 years later women were excluded from some colleges. And as soon as we had women’s only colleges they started jumping through hoops to allow men with gender identities into those colleges. Of course women are hated and oppressed as a a sex class - but by many men, some women and all trans ideologues.

This is the activists' validation reel.

Worth watching to the end, if you can bear it, for their rallying cry of DIY hormones and euphoria. Also, we are introduced to the concept of intersexism.

TRA types don’t actually listen to anything MF says or read what he writes. It’s too triggering. So don’t expect any cogent response.

No serious person can expect to throw around wild accusations to discredit somebody based on speculation about who they're friends with, rather than what they say, and expect to be listened to.

Only an absolute idiot would just swallow hearsay in that way, without actually weighing up the merits of somebody's stance.

BunfightBetty · 09/06/2026 12:38

Ok, but what do you think about his analysis of the law and the content of his speech?

Feel free to drop your analysis below and we can debate it on its merits.

Casting aspersions about you having a funny feeling he might have some friends you don't approve of isn't going to sway anyone, however.

He's funded by Christian nationalists want to control women's bodies. And plenty of right-wing women support that movement.

I'd urge everyone not to be fooled, and take a look at his background, mentor and funding.

Then maybe read the poem again.

FFS. MF has more than 10,000 subscribers to his Substack page. He’s making more than £100k per month just from that.

Frankly you could do the same if you had anything original and correct to say.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 09/06/2026 11:27

I cannot but laugh at the fervent appeal for the right to privacy in that video, coming as it does from someone who threw his/her privacy to the winds by standing up in public in order to protest against the evil of free speech, and then made a video to argue how right the protesters were to prevent someone else from speaking.

If you want to be private, don't make a noise in public, eh?

Imagine being so intellectually fragile that you are challenged by the very idea of women being allowed to read a book written by a gay British bloke who’s an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Oxford. What an utterly ridiculous purity spiral world.

When I was a student I went to a peace camp and I attended a public lecture by a NATO general to learn about the strategic implications of Turkey’s geopolitics - and I read books all around my own subject and more. It used to be called a ‘rounded education’.

Exactly as it should be. Listen to all the arguments and make up your own mind.

Instead, it’s now all about preventing people from discussing things because they have no real arguments that stand up to discussion.

It’s all touchy feel good meaningless virtue signalling waffle. No wonder they don’t do quite so well when a light is shone on it in the courts.

“No debate” was a shit option.

'There once was a man from Devizes'

Sorry, can’t do. I’m female. Reading a map is male-coded.

Genderwang!

Case proven - Ireland is closer to America than the UK is, so he must be funded from there. Look at a map, ladies!

Edited to add '🤣' for clarity.

You mean the same Christian Nationalists that supposedly fund us? They don’t

He’s mostly “funded” by his employer - earning a wage much like the rest of us normies who have jobs. But he also has book royalties and Substack subscriptions. His employer happens to be The University of Oxford. And he was name checked for the quality of his work by the Supreme Court and the UK government took his advice on some constitutional law - so assuming you don’t think they are problematic right wing Christian fundamentalists i think you need to withdraw your baseless allegations.

You say the 2 protestors at Oxford were “very polite” in another of your posts. Im afraid that won’t protect them now the RSOH paradigm is shifting. Other UK students have been suspended from university for stating facts like biology is real and not staging any kind of disruption. So measured against those actions, if there’s to be equality for trans people then these 2 should be ejected from the uni asap just like if they were GC students! You wanted Equal rights didnt you?

Desperate. Just achingly, embarrassingly desperate. Just give it up, mate. No one is listening, you're just muttering into the dark. On your own. Move with the times.

Anyone doubting this should look at Adrian Vermeule's The New Digest.

He works closely with the guy.

Don't side with misogynists, ladies. It ends badly for us.

Ooh and smearing by association now.
Keep thinking up those purity tests.

I prefer to listen to what people have to say and engage with their arguments rather than listen to bitchy gossip, innuendo , attempts at smearing, “it looks bad if you talk to X”
I do not CARE if it “looks bad” to the judgemental and self righteous purity police.
I am more interested in what IS bad using MY OWN JUDGEMENT.

God, you are SO boring and predictable. “Right wing funding blah blah blah”. Fucking USA imported crappy arguments and smearing. I am BORED of this bollocks on repeat.

Use your brain and read some books and stop whining on with the same bullshit.

Yes, we know who Michael Forman is. Yes, I have read his work. Yes, I find his legal discussions interesting and extremely clear. I expect that is why he is a lecturer at Oxford.
