Pointing out that Gavin Williamson should name gender ID as the main area for discussion being shut down.

Stock not Scott, apologies!

MN will amend it for you if you report your own post.

As ever, Prof Stock writes well:

Through Stonewall award schemes, universities competing for students have allowed official policies to be vehicles for uncritical trans activism, stifling open discussion by representing it as “transphobic” and making academics on one side of the argument easy targets for complaint. In short, this is not an atmosphere conducive to knowledge production, yet public interest is significant.

Thank you for the link. Dr.Scott writes eloquently about the pernicious influence of Stonewall and its stultifying effect on academic freedom and academic research. It should be noted that the reason why Dr. Selina Todd was targeted was because trans activists disliked her research conclusions Gavin Williamson needs to demonstrate these are not merely empty words the next time someone is silenced or sacked.
