He says, despite the fact that he is familiar with her talks, emails, press coverage and Twitter threads, that he wants to hear, again, in her own words what it is that makes trans people and their allies need protection from her.
And he recommends she chooses her words carefully.
He already knows her stance, he says so. He's goading her, and then telling her to self censor, less there be some consequences that he doesn't fully outline, but appears to say they won't be aggressive.
Which, to me, absolutely puts aggression on the table as a possibility. And then raises the spectre of her colleagues supporting him. Because he claims her stance means that the entire university could be accused of inequality.
It's a fucked up email, on every level.
And the University might be dealing with things on a case-by-case basis, but obviously the ethos has made this twat feel completely emboldened to send that to a member of their staff. So whatever they're doing, it's not working.
