Professor stock

[AngleEyes]

I have seen some of the attacks, and they are by aggressive TRAs.

No guesswork required.

I have seen the hundreds of academics describe Prof Stocks comments as oppressive and promoting discrimination and violence:
"In January, hundreds of academics criticised the decision to give Stock an OBE for services to higher education in the New Year honours list.

In an open letter, they condemned academics who use their status to “further gender oppression” and said they denounced “transphobia in all its forms”.

The letter said: “Trans people are already deeply marginalised in society, facing well-documented discrimination, ranging from government policy to physical violence. Discourse like that Stock is producing and amplifying contributes to these harms, serving to restrict trans people’s access to life-saving medical treatments, encourage the harassment of gender-non-conforming people, and otherwise reinforce the patriarchal status quo"

So on the one hand we have Prof Stocks exploiting her position to promote her transphobic ideas, and hundreds of other academics opposing her ideas, and the odd one or two protestors calling for her dismissal.
Freedom of Speech, eh? If one academic can promote transphobic views, another can call for her dismissal.

Please do present any links to any aggressive attacks that you found.

Incidentally

A man is not a woman.

Your powers of observation are outstanding.

 

[AngleEyes]

Stock didn't write anything aggressive.

Did you read all of her comments?

Certainly not in the way she's had it back at her. It is very much #bekind is only applicable if you follow the same views as those who are aggressive.

Please present any links to any aggression she has had to face.

I agree with much of what Stock states, it doesn't appear to be with malice, but with actual thought and reasoning.
Sounds like common sense to me...

Of course any other transphobe would agree with what she says.
Hundreds of other academics would not, and were so outraged that they found the need to write an open letter condemning her comments.

These extremist fruit cakes have infiltrated the UK educational system in particular universities they are intent in silencing any one who disagrees with there ball cocks

using intimidation and threats to do it

some resort to physical violence

 

[AngleEyes]

The bit that I find most ammusing is those that say they don't feel "safe" at the university she taught because of her supposed transphobic views, which are never aggressive and have no hate speech behind them.... But then they send death threats and want to get her sacked.....

Stock only wants women's rights to be recognised and not diluted by those pretending to be a female.

Transphobic views are promoting discrimination and violence by their very nature of trying to alienate a section of society.
Prof Stocks wants women's right to be higher in a hierarchy than transgender's right. That isn't how equality works.

A man cannot become a woman by saying the words "I am a woman."

 

[transam]

These fruit cakes are also intent on trampling all over woman’s rights

How is your species dysphoria going?
Still think you're a panda?
A panda with insight into the UK educational system.

 

[AngleEyes]

A man cannot become a woman by saying the words "I am a woman."

A deliberate swivel away from the issue under discussion.

Are you using the concept of 'man' and 'woman' as sex or gender?
If transam can trans into a panda, anything is possible.

No she's saying that while a trans person has a cock and balls they should be treated as a male in the eyes of the law.

That's not really alienating a section of society.

Women's rights should not be "reduced" to satisfy that of a minority.

 

[JohnD]

For the benefit of people unfamiliar with the English language, a Woman is an adult human female.

 

[JohnD]

A person who is not a Woman has no entitlement to enter a place reserved for Women.

 

[AngleEyes]

No she's saying that while a trans person has a cock and balls they should be treated as a male in the eyes of the law.

And she is exploiting her academic platform to promote her transphobic views, alienating a section of society.

That's not really alienating a section of society.

Are you familiar with all of her views?

Women's rights should not be "reduced" to satisfy that of a minority.

Equality is about ensuring that everyone's rights are respected, not that one group's right are more important than another's.

For the benefit of people unfamiliar with the English language, a Woman is an adult human female.

Legally a woman can be considered as a sex or as a gender.
Are you ignoring the legal definitions?

"Sex and gender are both generally referred to in two distinct categories: male and female or man and woman. However, there are naturally occurring instances of variations in sex characteristics (sometimes known as intersex). This is where people are born with hormones, chromosomes, anatomy or other characteristics that are neither exclusively male nor female. They are usually assigned a sex (male or female) by their family or doctor at birth as birth certificates require the sex of the child – either male or female. Individuals with variations in sex characteristics might identify as male, female, or intersex, and they may consider themselves to be a man, a woman, or to have a non-binary identity."

[AngleEyes]

A person who is not a Woman has no entitlement to enter a place reserved for Women.

If they identify as a woman in their gender, then they might have a legal right to enter a place reserved for women.
Whether you consider it right or not is partly irrelevant, other than you might be transphobic and promoting hatred, discrimination and violence against a section of society.
A bit like Prof Stocks really, I suppose. She was exploiting her academic status to promote her transphobia, and you are exploiting an anonymous social web site to promote your views.
