Kathleen Stock Oxford talk: Trans activist glues hand to Oxford Union floor amid protest

The Telegraph had a live blog as Dr Stock spoke at the oxford Union early this evening. This is the sort of totalitarian attempts to deny free speech and debate she faced. Just the sort of ‘no platform’ stamping of the jackboot that we (patriots, anti-jihadists etc)  have been dealing with for over a decade. Welcome to ‘progressive’ England. 

A trans activist has glued themselves to the floor of the Oxford Union in protest of a talk by Prof Kathleen Stock.

Riz Possnett, a student activist, sat in front of Prof Stock and Union president Matthew Dick wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words “No More Dead Trans Kids”. It comes as hundreds of trans activists have commenced a march on the Oxford Union, chanting “cut your system, f-ck your hate, we are not open for debate”.

Riz Possnett … said trans rights “should not be up to debate . . . Kathleen Stock is not welcome here. Terfs are not welcome here . . . ”

Kathleen Stock has said that those who think trans people are not violent “should speak to a criminologist”. Or listen to the baying mob outside.  She added that “at least 50%” of trans women in prison were there for sexual assault. Prof Stock said it is “not fair on females” for trans women to enter their spaces, asking: “Why should females take this burden on?”

Police  removed the protester Riz Possnett and received a round of applause from the audience. While the audience waited from the protestor to be removed Marie Daouda, a French lecturer at Oriel College, took the opportunity to make a statement. 

She said that “anyone with two free hands” should take a minute to Google the Tavistock gender clinic scandal.

Fortunately in the splendour of the Oxford Union debating chamber, after the brouhaha died down, facts effortlessly trounced feelings.

“What I think is silly is to make laws and policy based on something intangible nobody else can see,” she (Dr Stock)  said to loud roars of approval. “Are we supposed to accept what someone says about their gender identity on their word alone? That is way too open to malfeasance.”

      And while I’m gathering my blathering, how come no non-binary discourse twixt Black and White folks?? The ACTUAL scope is a non-binary spectrum from DarkBrown to PalePinkishMottled.
