Kathleen Stock was on Good Morning Britain This Morning

[dunBle]

although she got talked over by Ed Balls quite a lot. It'll be on ITV1+1 at about 7:40 I think until just before 8am.

The aggression and extremism of the responses of trans activists is in direct proportion to the extent they realise that their arguments are insupportable.

They angry cause they know they can't defend their assertions.

Has KS got inside the OU building safely, does anyone know? I believe she’s due to speak around now? I hope the protesters were behaving, it must be awful to walk that gauntlet before speaking. Come on Kathleen, we’re right behind you!

I've had an anxious feeling for the past few days, I can't even imagine how KS is feeling. Hope all goes smoothly.

I was hoping it might be covered on PM but no…

The Oxford Mail has a live feed here:

Activists have set up “welfare rooms” in an Oxford college for trans activist protesters who are distressed, even if they haven’t attended Prof Kathleen Stock’s talk

Really useful - thank you for the link.

“Welfare rooms” for the masked, sweary protesters…🤔

'Activists have set up “welfare rooms” in an Oxford college for trans activist protesters who are distressed, even if they haven’t attended Prof Kathleen Stock’s talk'.

Oh for the love of sanity 🙄🙄🙄

If we tried setting up tea and cake rooms for fed up female people being excluded from things like rape crisis centres, there'd be activists barging in before the kettle was hot.

The debate has been paused while a protester is moved. The protester is refusing to move, so it's tricky apparently.

hope they all pop off to their little welfare rooms so the grown ups can talk

Yes. Must be their bedtime soon, too.

Thank you Crow. I’ve seen the Oxford Mail
link but am unclear whether “she is being taken out of the building” is the protester or KS… hopefully the former.

Police have been called and ＠Docstockk is waiting with Matthew Dick for the situation to be resolved

Thing is... I kind of keep expecting these jokers to wake up and acknowledge 'we really were a bunch of knobs and how embarrassing'.

Fact is I don't think they will.

My own DAunt- in her 70s at the Vanguard of Feminism way back in the day is totally rusted on TWAW and now using they/them pronouns in support.

She's also an ed psych and a former teacher.

According to the Oxford Mail, this is the activist who was interrupting proceedings: https://twitter.com/rizpossnett

Part of the same crowd who were harassing Billboard Chris the other week: https://twitter.com/BillboardChris/status/1659213637129469952

Police officers appear to be struggling to work out how to remove the activist student Riz Possnett from the floor of the Union. The student is said to have glued their hands to the floor. Four officers have arrived with tools to try and remove the student and are filming as they do so.

Jesus. Just leave the bloody woman there. Everyone should get up and go into a different hall, however makeshift the facilities.

And she can sit glued to the floor all night in splendid isolation.

Oxford Mail reports accurately.

That would be bloody wonderful.

Or just leave her there and carry on with the debate, she can actually listen to it and learn something.

Ach, I was all set to get angry about it, but I looked her up and she's just a wee lassy who has no idea how privileged she is. She may grow out of the self righteousness, at least a bit.

So there’s a baying mob outside and they think their message is being kind? It amazing really what people will do when they think they are in the right…I hope they are embarrassed in the future at their histrionic, spiteful bullying. Shame on them.

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm getting the impression that she has more support this time than previously.

I'm sure she did have previous support, but people were too intimidated to show it. This looks different.

Which is unsurprising. The tide is definitely turning.

There's going to be a lot of people who have listened to her, seen the recordings, and read the write up in the papers.

They will be able to turn round to that mob and say you might support male rapists in women's prisons, but I don't.

Without the ideology that TWAW, it just looks like a load of awful misogyny.

(Funnily enough)
