Former professor who argues trans people cannot expect all rights afforded by biological sex is due to speak at Oxford Union
Kathleen Stock, the gender-critical feminist whose forthcoming address touniversity students on Tuesday has prompted planned protests, has insisted that she is a “moderate” and has a right to upset people.
Speaking to ITV’s Good Morning Britain, she added: “Of course I am causing upset. The position I am fighting against causes a lot of upset. You’ve got male rapists in female prisons: that causes a lot of upset. You’ve got children transitioning, doing things to their bodies that they can’t take back: that causes upset to their parents. You’ve got huge numbers of women unable to talk about sex-based rights in their workplaces because they feel stifled: that causes upset.
“We believe that trans students should not be made to debate their existence,” their letter said. “We also refute that this is a free speech issue – disinviting someone is not preventing them from speaking.
