Open University pushing transrights falsehoods

The ideological capture of educational institutions is one the most depressing aspects of the war on women. where one hopes for logics, free speech and evidence based argument one gets obfuscation and 'feelings'.

This OU article shows how far it has gone - it is so unbalanced and full of falsehoods, shows no concept of the other side of the argument and presents things that aren't so - like no trans organisations allowed to be represented at the Keira Bell case (when they weren't give permission to be a party because of their failure to present new, relevant evidence).

If you've ever studied with the OU you can leave a comment at the end but it will be in your real name and you may not feel able to do that. You can however login and give it a 1 star without identifying yourself public ally I believe - and I hope you'd do it not because you disagree but because an academic has written something so poor - for failing to acknowledge the range of argument, failing to provide actual evidence and misrepresenting evidence for the other side!

The OU have poor form on this having deleted their congratulation of Kathleen Stock after internal pressure. On the plus side they do employ Jon Pike who has made a public stand for women's sports.

*I think it was ignorance, rather than stonewalling but he said :-

"I wonder though how power imbalances can arise from males and females based on biological sex? Do you mean sexuality?"

and I'm left wondering how a man his age, working in the field he is in, could even think writing that sentence was reasonable. I haven't replied yet because I haven't stopped swearing at it*

Says the person who has never had to worry about the consuming effect of pregnancy on their life. What a tool of a bloke.

Another unhighlighted quote post. So bad at the basics!
