Sarah Phillimore Disinvited by Bristol University

[ChristinaXYZ]

Sarah Phillimore was asked to speak about the challenges she have as a disabled barrister but seems to have been disinvited for her gender critical views.

She posts her letter to the relevant Minster, Robert Halfron, in the thread below.

There is some suggestion that it might be because of not enough days to arrange security but as she says, she would have been offered a rearranged date if that was the case.

Sarah Phillimore is incredibly tenacious and fiercely intelligent. This was a significant error on their part.

A dangerous woman indeed…🙄🙄

They are clearly fibbing about the reasons

Oh dear. That's not going to end well for them.

The optics of banning a disabled female barrister!

Silly fuckers.

She blocked me over pronouns-gate so my sympathies are hard to muster.

@mb2512cat well we cannot all agree about all the details surely you can see what side she is on?

I have the utmost respect for Sarah, she always defends her own views. She's exactly the sort of person universities should be inviting to speak.

Sarah is brilliant and I bet she will embarrass Bristol for this very unforced error.

Big mistake, Bristol. Huge.

I hope they back track and invite her to speak.

I thought it had already been established that threats of violence from staff, employees, or probably in this case, students, were not a sufficient reason to discriminate against someone for their gender critical views?

i'm not on Twitter, is she planning on taking this any further?
