The Times - smear campaign by trans lecturer at Goldsmiths

[tiredandweary]

The Times reporting on the smear campaign against academics run by 'Natacha Kennedy' of Goldsmiths. Given how movingly women academics have written here about the fear and intimidation they experience working in universities, how good to see the source of the bullying exposed. share token:

And a brilliant article by Janice Turner about dangerous trans rapists in women's jails:

So pleased that I took out a subscription to the Times.

Sorry, don't know how I included that quote. I meant to use this quote from Lang Cleg about Jen Isaacson and her experience as a young GNC woman of being expected to be trans. Jen wrote Chapter 11 of the book "Transgender Children and Young People".

Lang Cleg
"I read it again. Jen doesn't say this happened at Goldsmiths specifically, my apologies. But definitely not at a GIDS. She shared a lift (whether elevator or car not said) with Polly Carmichael. The implication of the paragraph is that Polly felt free to ask Jen whether or not she was a service user of a GIDS on the basis of her presentation alone, with no other information.

The chapter Jen contributed to the book is about the links between transgenderism, transhumanism and queer theory. She begins it by relating various anecdotes in which others assumed her to be trans by dint of presentation (short haircut/androgynous clothes) alone. The Carmichael story is one of them."

Please don't yell at me.

I am sending you no explanations.. You deserve no such attention.

"Please don't yell at me."
Oh get a grip. I am alerting anyone who find this thread in their feed that it's a zombie.

You messed up, and now you've got a bag on. 'Deserve no such attention'! Are you channelling Lady Catherine De Bourgh?

Mumsnetters are so lucky to have a sentry like you to roar out a warning when you spy a danger.

Nothing to do with danger

It can be annoying to get engaged with a thread that died a death months or years ago

[RufustheRowlingReindeer]

Once a poster started a thread about pram recommendations

And then a few years later she revived the years dead thread and recommended a pram

To herself

Anyone know why Materialist's post are all gone? Anyone remember them?

I remember hearing about what Kennedy was up to at least 5 years ago. It's taken a while to get any sort of public attention but better late than never I suppose. Watch the dominos fall one by one as the sunlight streams in...
