It's worth saying that the actual definition of women being insisted upon by these people in relation to, for example, Caster Semenya or Imane Khelif is one that would have been completely unintelligible to the vast majority of people throughout history.

ICYMI: In Jan 26, Jess Phillips and Peter Kyle, then ministers, filmed an endorsement for a phone running the child safety software of a company that's central to the government's plans to prevent kids being exposed to porn. A detailed review shows the phone doesn't work and is dangerously insecure.

I understand the outrage at the rampant fascists but, look: our national press has been telling the public that the streets are infested with ethnic sex offenders and migrant rapists, set loose by secret communists, for *fifteen years* now. And not sotto voce either, power-blasting it constantly.

Worth noting too how Reform's James Orr—disgraced by Verbatim's Channel 4 exposé—leapt to Nina Power's defence (alongside Kathleen Stock) following the damning judgment and her unmasking as antisemitic conspiracy theorist and anonymous contributor to a notorious neo-Nazi account.
James Orr: "Nina Power is a talented and valuable voice in the postliberal space, so I can understand why progressive authoritarians are so desperate to cancel her; but it's not going to work."

Kathleen Stock: "@Nina_Compact is an original, stimulating, light-footed writer who always makes me think; I'm very happy I supported her crowdfunder a few years back; and I get a lot from @compactmag where she is editor…"

The Ineffable Horror of Joe Muggs: "James, she made sure her Nazi sympathies would be publicised when she tried to silence - "cancel" if you will - a critic who she'd been subjecting to Antisemitic bullying. Help me out. Can you explain how the marketplace of ideas has failed here exactly? Because I'm CONFUSED."

Record fine for university that failed to protect the free speech of trans critics
Daily Mail27 Mar 2025By Eleanor Harding Education Editor
SUSSEX University has been fined £585,000 over a transgender row which ended in an academic being driven out of her job.

The Office for Students (OfS) imposed the penalty following an investigation involving Professor Kathleen Stock, who was ‘cancelled’ on campus for her gender views.

It is the first time the OfS has imposed a fine on a university over a free-speech issue, and it paves the way for similar action against other institutions. It is also the highest fine handed out to a university by the OfS.

The three-year inquiry was based around university gender policies and whether they could be creating an unwelcome

‘The policy had a chilling effect’

atmosphere for gender-critical academics. It started in 2021 after a national outcry when Professor Stock, a philosophy lecturer, was hounded out of her job by student activists.

Professor Stock believes those born male should not have an automatic right to women-only spaces if they identify as female, which campaigners challenged.

Students launched a protest to get her fired which included demonstrations and defamatory posters. She resigned in October that year after continuing to receive hostility from not only students but also from colleagues and the University and College Union.

The investigation found Sussex’s transgender equality policy had a ‘chilling’ effect on Professor Stock’s views as well as those of students and other staff.

The policy forced tutors to ‘positively represent trans people and trans lives’ in their teaching, and banned what they called ‘transphobic propaganda’.

Arif Ahmed, director for freedom of speech at the OfS, said: ‘We know that Professor Stock changed the way she taught her course as a result. And we are concerned that a chilling effect may have caused many more students and academics at the university to self-censor their expression orScreenshot of Guardian article from 14m ago headlined Higher education regulator apologises for imposing £585k fine on university

Conditions such as dyslexia and dyspraxia, autism, ADHD, speech delay (and so on) were now to be treated as unfair obstacles to a person's dreams of pursuing an academic career, rather than constituting evidence they were unsuited.
