Swansea society accused of transphobia after publicly supporting Kathleen
Stock and books by feminist author Helen Joyce



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.”
