Who are we?
We are a group of academics working in UK higher education. We are concerned about the ongoing erosion of women's sex-based rights in law, policy and practice, and the treatment of those - mainly women - who speak out. We are concerned that a 'no debate' culture in academia on this issue is harmful to academic freedom and is preventing an open and critical engagement with theories of sex and gender. Ultimately, we think an inability to talk about sex-based rights and discrimination is harmful to women and girls.
Your stories
We would like to hear stories from gender critical university staff (academic and professional services) and students. What is it like to take a gender critical position in HE? What are your experiences of speaking out or keeping quiet? We'd like to know what has happened to you, what you've witnessed, and how it has made you feel.
We want universities, policymakers and the wider public to understand the effect the current 'no debate' culture is having on those of us who work and study in Higher Education. We recognise the isolation that people face and want this to be a space where we can collate stories about our experiences and concerns, and for others to realise that we do not stand alone. Help us break the silence.
