University of Edinburgh bans Trans and Non-Binary Liberation Officer from protesting on campus

[IwantToRetire]

The Student has learned that the University of Edinburgh has banned Robyn Woof, Trans and Non-Binary Liberation Officer at Edinburgh University Students’ Association (EUSA) from attending or being within 200 feet of any protest on any subject on the university’s campus.

The ban is a precautionary action put in place by the Deputy Secretary and a Vice Principal whilst Woof is undergoing a criminal investigation for an alleged assault which took place during an attempted screening of the film ‘Adult Human Female’ on the university’s campus on December 14.

The screening was shut down by protestors over claims that the film was transphobic. Edinburgh Academics for Academic Freedom (AFAF) – the event’s organiser – argued in a recent statement that “[w]e think the points of conflict between rights on the basis of sex and rights on the basis of gender identity need to be carefully and respectfully discussed”.

These types of bans are useless unless the law is changed to prohibit the wearing of face coverings at demonstrations etc.

Whenever I read that poster's contributions I get a picture in my head of a certain blond, long-haired student who likes to get their face and voice on TV as much as possible up here in Scotland.

I could be wrong though.

That reminds me of a former university student here in England who also had long hair and liked to get photo in as many places as possible but who has gone oddly silent in the past few years...

Absolutely. Back in my day (the Stone Age, it seems now), some students got thrown out of my uni for much less than this.
