Page 3 | Universities overtaken by trans propaganda

As its graduation time, many parents will be visiting their kids Unis and be able to see 1st hand what flags are flying....I was not surprised to see lots of huge trans flags flying at NTU (Nottingham Trent Uni) Trans/pride colours painted on road crossings, local shops decorated with trans flags etc etc. Please share your Uni sightings here-any not supporting this current fad? No wonder our youth are so confused.

I went with my child to an offer holder day at Edinburgh. It was for arts and humanities so I’d say 80% of attendees were female.
While there wasn’t any overt flag waving, we did have a talk from a man about making the most of your university experience, during which he told us a story about how Katherine Grainger had attended Edinburgh, and that was where she got into rowing and look where that had led her. Except, when describing this absolute hero of women’s sport he did not use the word “she” once. In fact, he referred to KG as “they” throughout. I did check, afterwards, whether KG has preferred pronouns, and couldn’t find any evidence that she is now a “they”. Quite possibly she herself, like most sensible people, does not care how she is described when she isn’t even there. But I did think that it was a real shame that the chap representing the university either thought it was good to erase women’s achievements, or that the word “she” was unsayable, or that he needed to kowtow to a silly ideology. I wasn’t sure which it was.

Isn't Ed Uni one of the worst? I can't remember the details, but there was a big fuss a couple of years ago when protestors repeatedly shut down attempts to screen the Adult Human Female film on campus.

As far as I know Katherine Grainger isn't non-binary. So what happened to respecting people's preferred pronouns. It seems it only works one way

Yes @PhilOPastry62 this happened at Edinburgh

That's absolutely infuriating. Refusing to admit someone successful is even a woman at all strikes me as incredibly insulting to her and all the girls listening

This kind of post reminds me of how, not so long ago, any mention of being gay was met with fear that it would somehow “encourage” others to become gay. As if visibility equals recruitment. It’s a deeply oppressive mindset — one that shuts down expression rather than seeking to understand it.

Universities are full of bright, thinking young adults who aren’t blank slates waiting to be “confused” by flags. They’re individuals who, quite rightly, expect to see their identities reflected and supported in their environment. The presence of pride or trans flags isn’t about forcing an agenda — it’s about saying, “You’re welcome here. You matter.”

The idea that this is a “fad” undermines real people’s lives and struggles. It’s perfectly possible to be curious, to disagree, or to ask questions — but let’s not dress up disdain as concern. Supporting marginalised groups is not what’s confusing young people — it’s the hostility toward that support that often is

That's the ideal. But it is not what is happening. Instead we have some people's demands hitting and trying to crush other people's boundaries. Gay rights are the same rights as everyone has. Trans rights are those which actually belong to someone else. The TRA movement is authoritarian, coercive and bullying. That's the issue.

Jo Phoenix confirmed that Reading is the only full GC University in the UK at present (last few minutes of podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/womens-rights-network/id1610798045?i=1000720707626

Sadly the Trans Flag for me has now come to represent repression, no debate and virtue signalling.
