Garden Court Chambers giving advice? Well, this should be interesting.

Don't have time to read it at the moment, but the fact that 'gender critical' and 'free speech' are in inverted commas says a lot about the position this report is likely to be coming from.

And it gets the facts of what happened in Bristol, Sussex and Edinburgh wrong (all examples of trans students rights to protest being infringed apparently)

That twitter thread is doing NOTHING to help me recover from my massive girlcrush on Akua Reindorf. NOTHING.

There's now a thread in this in FWR, as well.
