A university feminist society has been “purged by trans activists”, with its
email accounts shut down and members quitting for their safety.


The women-only Swansea University Feminist Society had dozens of students
attending its meetings, advertised as a “space away from men” to discuss
issues such as the Welsh city’s surge of spiking incidents.

But campus activists made “transphobia” allegations and demanded its
leader be expelled after the society publicly supported Kathleen Stock, the
professor bullied for her trans views at Sussex University, and promoted the
feminist writer Helen Joyce's book.

The “frenzied” backlash included its leader’s personal social media accounts
being shared online and friends of student members vowing to never talk to
them again, the society said.


Crazed Activists piled on its Instagram account, writing “shut up Terf” – a slur for
trans exclusionary radical feminist – and “freedom of speech does not mean
freedom from consequences you dumb f---s”.

Toby Young, the Free Speech Union’s general secretary, said: “The gradual
erasure of feminist societies in Britain’s universities is a national scandal and
is a perfect illustration of why the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech)
Bill, which will hold universities to account, is so urgently needed.

“I hope Liz Truss will push it to the top of her priority list.”

Sexist men can't stand to see women having anything that's their own. What else is new?

[Niamh.]

I love Helen Joyce, I could listen to her forever. But yeah this sounds strangely familiar, women not allowed to gather or set boundaries for ourselves.....

I bet the psychos bitching about Kathleen Stock can't even remember what she was meant to have said, just like how no-one can explain the bad things JK Rowling allegedly has said.
(I don't know Helen Joyce, so can't comment)

is it just me or do a lot of these activists all have a slightly distant strange look in their eyes

She wrote the Book Trans: When Ideology meets reality, she's a very interesting woman to listen to, if you ever get a chance to listen to any of her interviews on youtube you should, she's been on loads of people's channels/shows

Welcome to 1622.:laugh:

But seriously the Government must be loving this, while these two groups are fighting each other, nobody is looking at the Government not really coming up with any ideas to try to solve this issue.

Basically a typical UK Government.

It is hard to understand how this is happening, free speech has consequences surly that should work both ways, adult bullies of this nature should be called out and dealt with by the police

But nothing the feminists said warrants consequences :shrug:

No but I am pointing out that the trans activists feel that their free speech should have no consequences, they feel free to abuse, harass and bully so just total hypocrites
