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 right solvent is very quick. Which must be annoying if you are planning a Superglue Gotcha.

It was a silly thing to do but I hope sincerely she isn't hurt. I find her views as silly as sticking herself to the floor, but she doesn't deserve to be hurt. No one does.

She won’t be hurt. Supergluing is chosen because of the sheer faff getting the right solvents there are and applied to an uncooperative person. Anyone undertaking that removal will be super, super careful, particularly in circumstances like these.

That picture is hilarious, looks like a small child wandered in by mistake, interrupting the adults in the room.

I wish someone would have asked her to reveal her sources for all the 'dead trans kids'.

I expect security are by now wise to this, given how often it's used in protests? They must have the correct solvent in a handy pocket-sized bottle for every eventuality.

Thanks for explanation, though, I've always worried about people getting injured glueing themselves to things.

They really can’t allow professor Stock to speak though. Otherwise it will be suddenly clear that she’s not transphobic and is saying something perfectly reasonable and logical.

And also something that 99.9% of the populace also believe.

@TinyTopknot
Look at the other thread on this- reported by Cherwell on-line as KS arrived in the chamber

'Prat' stick?

Couldn't they just cone her off?

Very happy for anyone to reuse anything that is useful from my posts. No need to acknowledge but certainly do if you want to.

Eleanor's other blogs have been great. Look forward to reading.

looks like

Thanks! This was just a really quick piece. I'm working on lots of other pieces about women in history meanwhile.

He’s amazing and I absolutely don’t want anyone gunning for him, but isn’t it interesting that men staying facts don’t get half as vilified as your KS, JKR.

I kind of wish they let the Man with his hand shoot up ask a question, just to see him get shot down by science but we know how that would go.

But, But I’m a Woman because I say I am, and all your science and reasoning can’t take that away from me. Stamps foot.

@EleanorScott I enjoyed reading this. Thank you for sharing it.

Given the fuss that most universities make about even using Blutack, surely this student should have used Command strips instead.

"Ed Balls also used the ridiculous technique of spouting, ‘lots of people would say that’s an extreme’, without any data to back up that lazy assertion. "

Not only is the 'lots of people would say' ridiculous but cowardly. If there is any truth to that statement why does he not just say it himself?

Been doing 'art'

Ed Balls is such a sack of meat.

Kathleen Stock and the Oxford Union being discussed on Jeremy Vine Radio 2 right now.

His fave 'feminist and trans activist' Montie is on, talking utter balls again. It's quite the entertaining listen.

"What's all this about then"?

That's excellent - thanks, Eleanor!

Claire Fox spelling it out.
Go Claire!

There is also a small but not entirely insignificant proportion of men who simply get really, really angry when a woman disagrees with them.

I'm related to one, and I've worked with a couple of others. I think Jolyon Maugham might be one. Owen Jones is definitely one. A a fair few TRAs.
