Well said Andrew ! An intelligent, objective refutation of the bigotry which would limit free speech. Your words in defense of the principle of open debate are far more important than any offense caused to angry 'activists'.
Academic, medical professionals, and even politicians are failing women. How is the same people who say they care about about women rights and call out sexism, misogyny and toxic masculinity ignore how they are prioritizing toxic men over women?
The progressive stack thats why. Transwomen are far higher up the victim heirarchy than women. Therefore they have to always be put ahead of women and they are allowed to be as sexist as they want.
Anything but validation and celebration in their own terms is considered denying their existence. That is were this idea comes from. Nothing else from these fanatics is considered acceptable.
These universities need to make the reading of “the emperor’s new clothes” and “1984” mandatory… it might give the students food for thought. And of course, their lecturers too..
Having worked with academics I would say that many of them have never completely grown up. Some students will manage to do this but others will remain 'daft as brushes.' Just because someone is academic doesn't mean that they have common sense. Often they don't.
Agree with this. Perhaps the reason is the value of children these days. Most people only have one or two, so parents are naturally overprotective... "helicopter parenting". Kids always have an authority to appeal to these days and don't grow up tough enough and are incapable of sorting things out for themselves. The last thirty or so years has produced very little in the way of "adults".
@@eccehomer8182 Yeah, what a sweeping statement! So you know every academic and every student/ex-student in the country from the last 30-40 years. What utter nonsense!
It’s painful to have your ideas and biases challenged, university is the place to do this. What’s happening at the moment, is like something from the Spanish Inquisition. The trans cry “you are committing genocide “ is ridiculous and a disservice to sections of humanity who have experienced this. The reason suicide is higher in the trans community is because fragile people are drawn to the trans movement. Vulnerable, tragic people have always been attracted to cults.
Matt Walsh successfully argued in a recent talk that the only people engaging in genocide of "ransT" ("akeF") people are "ransT" ("akeF") people themselves because they choose to enter the confusing and dangerous political world of gender ideology and wind up wanting to delete themselves in the end once they reach that 7 year mark where all medical & surgical options have been exhausted and the end of the line has been reached. The realisation of that "dead end" along with awareness of the damage they did to themselves and the inability to undo it all, THAT is what causes their genocide.
@@eccehomer8182 Considering the ‘cultural marxist’ academics that Peterson loves to cry about were actually the ones who were exterminated in said camps, it’s pretty unlikely. Funny how ‘Cultural Marxists’ secretly controlling all of academia was the exact same conspiracy theory the the Nazi’s used to justify book burnings such as the massive amounts of research on transgender people at Frankfurt in the 1930’s. Of course the term back then was ‘Cultural Bolshevists’ lmao. Crazy how right wingers nowadays are literally using the exact same word for word justifications as the Nazi party did, really makes you think 🤔
We are in real trouble if we just sit and gawp at what's going on in our public institutions without actually supporting the people taking a stand. Thanks Andrew.

The so-called "trans debate" on media in this country is heavily skewed in favour of the transphobes, due to their views being regularly platforned and given air time in our media, most of the time without any opposing voice to add any balance to the "debate".

@@utv5490 My life and love is of no business of yours! However, how would you categorise them; "gutless traitors", "sycophantic talking heads", or "lying, thieving, sewer-dwelling sell-outs" perhaps?
You’re so much more reasonable than I am re trans activists at this point. As for Kathleen Stock, she is in incredibly empathetic and measured. If she’s hateful what are the rest of us?
In this and Mr. Doyle's interview of Peter Boghosian, he doesn't seem to understand that the Woke don't want to debate or discuss the issue. They want you to shut up. And discussion would invariably result in their opponent pointing to facts, logic or reason. Because the Woke belief system isn't based or supported by such things, hearing them from an interlocutor would cause them cognitive dissonance. Because that is a very uncomfortable state in which to be, the way they avoid it is to shut up their opponents. So no matter how genteel you might be with them in a discussion is utterly irrelevant. Just the act of disagreement is, in their minds, so threatening to their psyches, it must be avoided by any means necessary.
Ffs this has gone over top and way beyond a joke. Britain is sadly losing its standing in the world and if it’s not careful people are not going to want to come to so called prestigious universities!
We have to reassess the mental age of university students and perhaps raise the age for admission. Introduce compulsory work time, say 3 or 4 years after graduating from secondary school. Nose to the grindstone, so to speak, to gain some clarity of thought.
There will always be some degree of inequality, how can there not be? And what the hell is so wrong with being labelled 'transphobic' anyway? Hardly the end of the world. Poor little lambs. 🙄
I remember going to university and being taught how to critically think and research and how to accept that other points of view may have merit be valid. I don't however remember going to university and being taught what to think, to have a closed mind and be unaccepting of any other viewpoint. Universities were once learning environments where ideas get discussed, debated and examined in detail even if those ideas don't fit with what we think we know. Advancing understanding needs discussion and conversation, sometimes about subjects we don't like or find offensive, but without that conversation there's no understanding just conjecture and disagreement. When did people become so closed minded and so scared that they might be wrong that they literally try to stop anything that goes against the narrative they follow.
It's GBN blowing dog whistles again. The protesters should also be given the same equal right to their freedom of speech/freedom of expression. So let them into the talk/lecture and let both sides debate the issues properly. It's not a debate if only one side is present. "If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all." - Noam Chomsky.
Stock is not the last word and probably has theoretical vulnerabilities... I personally don't think she fully understands the experience of her opposition. But she'll never be properly criticized or debated if she can't speak. Her deplatforming has raised what are likely incomplete and possibly incorrect assertions to carte blanche acceptance without proper vetting. We'll never know now.
Sorry , but they tried to cancel her from coming to the uni. Luckily In this case they didn’t get their way . But measures had to be put in place in order to guarantee the safety of this professor. Thats beyond ridiculous and out of proportion.
You don't understand - their entire social status is happily and desperately tied to their being able to broadcast themselves as under attack and drowning in glasses of water. You are talking about learning and debate and epistemology and ontology. They simply want to accrue likes from strangers on the internet. They can't hear a word you're saying.
It is not at all elegantly phrased because it is ambiguous. Does it mean that you will defend free speech all of your life, or does it mean that you are willing to die defending another person's right to say what they are saying?
Why are these students at uni if they know it all already themselves, creating a bubble of group think where they control everyting, word, deed and thought ..
If 10 men from the world's top 600 tennis players had transitioned to women and played in the women's tennis tournament at the time the William sisters were dominant, Serena and Venus would not even have been in the top 10 players in the world.
Suddenly, being a "ransT" woman (replace that word with "akeF") ....being a "akeF" woman gives you unprecedented mind reading powers & abilities. Who would have thought?! P.S. (I have to scramble these two words because youtube ALWAYS deletes any comment I leave where I use both of these words at the same time. Just put the last & capital letter @ the start of the word to read)
Your final point about "learning something" through debating is very pertinent, Andrew: and genuine students (rather thah Communist activists) ought to be curious. Back in the very early Seventies, I attended a debate on homosexuality in the Durham Union Society. That debate changed my life. I quit attending the college chapel, and celebrated in a suitable way with a member of the College's Second XV rugby team! Thank goodness for honest debate, and great Speakers.
Your mistake is thinking TERFS care about good faith debate. They don’t care about the science, nor reality. When you point out that just about every medical institution and health organisation on the planet disagrees with them, they’ll rant about how they literally must all be in cahoots with one another, or that it’s ‘woke/marxist/Jewish science’ that has brainwashed them all. When you point out that transition is by far the most safe and effective treatment for gender dysphoria, they’ll just gawk and pivot to a rant about how it’s ‘harmful to women’ with no logical explanation. Their goal is to rule up controversy, then do a press tour to spout brain damaged blind hatred while saying ‘Look how silenced I am!’ on multiple national TV networks lmao. That’s it.
Andrew, I would love to know your views on Jan Morris, who, was one of the most intelligent voices through her own writing of 'Conundrum' which told her her sexual transition from man to woman. (And one of the most extraordinary writers of her life as a transsexual.
1.50min "... here's what they have to say. We believe that trans students should not be made to debate their existence. Right.

Are they people who identify as trans or are they people who *are* trans - people who are materially different to everyone else in that they have gone through some form of metamorphosis?
Indeed, their entire ideology is predicated upon the false foundational premise of the existence of something which is scientifically impossible. Any dialogue which permits discussion about transgenderism without requiring that falsehood to be first addressed and empirically substantiated is not only disingenuous, it is actually only facilitating and normalising that lie as an accepted fact. I too share the infuriation whenever I hear mention of transgenderism, particularly in regard to 'rights' when objectively this relates to a demand to respect the rights of a myth which is being not only indulged but actively and increasingly encouraged in preference to challenging the beliefs of a demographic of people suffering from a mental illness that causes its sufferers to experience dysmorphia.
@@harryricochet8134 100%. "The existence of something which is scientifically impossible" is, pace James Lindsay, a creation of a simulacrum - a fake of reality, by the ruthless negation of what is real - in this case sex. For example, Judith Butler used the discredited notion of gender (from the monster John Money), and said she is lesbian who feels she is not typical (statistically) in female behaviours or attitudes and therefore her behaviours must be a socially constructed performance that she calls gender, ie not tied to sex. So now we are one step away from the reality of sex having a bearing on behaviour and attitude. And then gender is further reified by saying it is an inner core of feeling or a soul, or whatever, that is the authentic locus of sexual identity. And that is totally performed, totally constructed. So gender is where the real identity lies and then Butler says if gender is constructed so is sex, sex isn't real. Thus sex is negated and we now have as a consequence "sex is assigned at birth by a medical authority called a doctor etc etc. and the manufacture of a sex spectrum and abuse of pronouns and proper nouns and reassignment surgery etc. The fake reality or simulacrum of gender identity is created, and the reality of biological sex is denigrated and negated and any defence of it is ruthlessly attacked through coercion, indoctrination, threat of livelihood, social punishment and control of language etc. so that we are forced into the constructed fake reality. Hence your lie as accepted fact - the acceptance of a fake reality or a simulacrum.

We need league tables of non-woke higher education institutions and to encourage preference for attendance there. Also an accurate and derogatory name is needed for places such as Oxford and which substitutes for the word ‘University’.

Wow, such brave, original and hard-hitting journalism, an important and potent clarion call for academic freedom from a young journalist brave enough to go on TV to parrot the same views he had at university, views he’s never challenged because he knows he’s right, and that he courageously fought for on campus by…*checks notes*… inviting milo Yianoppolis to speak on the most inflammatory topics possible. Oh yeah, a tip, when you’re going on tele to accuse people of lying and manipulating the reality of things, it helps not to do the same yourself by confidently stating your beliefs only to minutes later deny those beliefs and that you hold them, and then wonder why everyone’s upset over the beliefs you just proclaimed before claiming no one proclaimed.
I use to admire people who went to university for their intelligent, not anymore, if someone can go to Oxford University and still act like a TODDLER I wonder IF they will ever grow up?🤔 they'll probable leave university believing the world owes them a living and we should all agree with their wisdom. 🙄 We are seeing this attitude from Just Stop Oil and others similar groups, who's spokespeople never answer a question, but always repeat the same mantra. 🥱

And then gender is further reified by saying it is an inner core of feeling or a soul, or whatever, that is the authentic locus of sexual identity. And that is totally performed, totally constructed.
So gender is where the real identity lies and then Butler says if gender is constructed so is sex, sex isn't real. Thus sex is negated and we now have as a consequence "sex is assigned at birth by a medical authority called a doctor etc etc. and the manufacture of a sex spectrum and abuse of pronouns and proper nouns and reassignment surgery etc.
The fake reality or simulacrum of gender identity is created, and the reality of biological sex is denigrated and negated and any defence of it is ruthlessly attacked through coercion, indoctrination, threat of livelihood, social punishment and control of language etc. so that we are forced into the constructed fake reality.
Hence your lie as accepted fact - the acceptance of a fake reality or a simulacrum.
[This is my précis of Lindsay's central thesis in "The Negation of the Real"]

We need league tables of non-woke higher education institutions and to encourage preference for attendance there. Also an accurate and derogatory name is needed for places such as Oxford and which substitutes for the word ‘University’.
SACK ALL TEACHERS WHO ARE MORE INDOCTRINATORS THAN EDUCATORS, NO FOREIGNERS EITHER.

I recommend one reads 'The Coddling of the American Mind' by Lukianoff and Haidt, all will be explained, it addresses American schools and colleges, but the concept is creeping over the Atlantic for sure.
If you don't want to debate and learn, skip school and run for political office.
Meh, ‘hate speech’ is whatever the left disagree with.
Free Speech tell that to Alex Bellfield he might have something to say about that Oxford College am I subsidising them,they go straight into the BBC don’t they or MI5 O that’s Cambridge
Communism by stealth !
These students are hysterical fantasists.
Wow, such brave, original and hard-hitting journalism, an important and potent clarion call for academic freedom from a young journalist brave enough to go on TV to parrot the same views he had at university, views he’s never challenged because he knows he’s right, and that he courageously fought for on campus by…*checks notes*… inviting milo Yianoppolis to speak on the most inflammatory topics possible. Oh yeah, a tip, when you’re going on tele to accuse people of lying and manipulating the reality of things, it helps not to do the same yourself by confidently stating your beliefs only to minutes later deny those beliefs and that you hold them, and then wonder why everyone’s upset over the beliefs you just proclaimed before claiming no one proclaimed.
I think I'm becoming transphobic. Or is it idiot university student phobic. I've got that many phobias I'm at a loss to decide these days.

I use to admire people who went to university for their intelligent, not anymore, if someone can go to Oxford University and still act like a TODDLER I wonder IF they will ever grow up?🤔 they'll probable leave university believing the world owes them a living and we should all agree with their wisdom. 🙄 We are seeing this attitude from Just Stop Oil and others similar groups, who's spokespeople never answer a question, but always repeat the same mantra. 🥱
Great.
