As soon as anyone utters the word “transphobia’, the powers-that-be capitulate in a sickening way, throwing fine feminists such as Kathleen to the wolves. Kathleen is due to speak at the Oxford Union at the end of the month, and the blue-fringed protestors have been out in force ever since the event was announced. The latest debacle involving my friend Kathleen Stock is a very good example of how certain women are specifically singled out to suffer the most atrocious behaviour from these idiotic students, on many occasions with the backing of academic staff. Those of us who have a long history of fighting for the rights of lesbians, and those campaigning to end men’s violence, often bear the brunt of this. Women are routinely de-platformed and face protests when invited to speak on campus. It is surely undeniable that unions – those representing both students and staff – care more about the “rights’ of trans people than those of women.
