Students at Leeds University demand staff include their gender pronouns when introducing themselves at meetings
Permalink   
 

Students and staff at Leeds University have demanded senior staff introduce themselves with gender pronouns in meetings. 

They signed a letter insisting the university's vice-chancellor Simone Buitendijk also includes her pronouns in email signatures to show solidarity with the transgender community.

LGBT staff and student groups accused the university of having 'a deeply entrenched culture of transphobia' in the letter sent in August — a month before Ms Buitendijk took up the job.

It called on her to 'rapidly address and effectively rectify the current discriminatory situation'.  

And it accused the university of being 'a hostile environment for trans staff and students', according to The Times, a claim the university denies.

It comes after a philosophy professor quit her job after being accused of transphobia.

Professor Kathleen Stock, 48, an expert in gender and sexual orientation, quit her job at the University of Sussex this week after a 'bullying and harassment' campaign labelled her a 'transphobe'. 

Professor Stock received death threats as a result of her 'transphobia' — an accusation she denies.

Students should be told that universities are not there to protect their feelings, academics claimed today after a professor resigned over her views on gender.

Professor Kathleen Stock, 48, an expert in gender and sexual orientation, quit her job at the University of Sussex this week after a 'bullying and harassment' campaign labelled her a 'transphobe'.

And appalled colleagues are up in arms, demanding that students are told in freshers' week that universities are there to hold up academic freedom.

Professor Michael Biggs, an expert in sociology at Oxford University, said the blame for the 'ludicrous' culture at education institutions lies with the universities themselves, not 'young and immature' students.

The philosophy professor was at the centre of a blazing row — and a student-led protest — at the university after saying she believes gender identity does not outweigh biological sex 'when it comes to law and policy'.

She also said that people cannot change their biological sex, sparking anger from protesters.

Professor Stock quit her job on Thursday, saying it had been 'a difficult few years' and that she hoped other universities could learn from what had happened.

IT's about time this nonsense was stopped in its tracks.

This lot would have done just wonderfully in the world wars. bored

The extreme Trans lobby both here and in the US/Canada is getting far too powerful and it's a such a load of preposterous bollocks (or lack of them).

Exactly.

There seems to be an awful lot of twisted and truly nasty individuals in these militant Trans groups who are only ever happy forcing their extreme intolerance onto others and they are quite prepared to destroy people's lives to get their own way.

But because of the preposterous Woke climate in modern Universities in the UK (and the US/Canada) they are getting away with it.

They make me sick.

 There's a trans person who speaks out about this.  Can't remember their name.

Good for them - but I expect they are a massive target for abuse now.

Unlike all the huge sex offending blokes who have suddenly identified as 'females' so they can rape vulnerable women with impunity in prison.

Whilst toddlers are dying of cancer through lack of funds let's all spend money on this.

Ever met a trans? me neither. They sure do get a lot of say though. Even gays are fed up of them.

 I've known several  trans.   Most of them nice, one of them not so nice.  Just like everyone else.   Making big issues about being trans is what gets on everyone's wick.  Just be yourself and act normally instead making demands and screaming "Transphobic" at everyone who doesn't agree with you.  

What I don't get is why minorities are being put on a pedestal.   Why are they better or different from any other human being?

 Because the powers that be are so bloody scared of being seen as 'phobic' they bend over backwards to humour the loud few at the expense of the quieter masses.
