tly make a decision on whether to continue this.”
Barrister Akua Reindorf’s report prompted Essex University to apologise for cancelling Prof Jo Phoenix and Prof Rosa Freedman. She noted that its trans policy for staff “states the law as Stonewall would prefer it to be, rather than the law as it is”.
Last night Stonewall’s chief executive, Nancy Kelley, prompted a furious backlash on Twitter by likening so-called “gender critical” beliefs to anti-Semitism. ‘Gender-critical’ academics and researchers argue that male-born trans women are not women, a view the EHRC has said is protected by equality law.
Ms Kelley told the BBC: “With all beliefs including controversial beliefs there is a right to express those beliefs publicly and where they're harmful or damaging – whether it's anti-Semitic beliefs, gender critical beliefs, beliefs about disability – we have legal systems that are put in place for people who are harmed by that.”
Campaign group Fair Play for Women, tweeted: “Stonewall reaches a new low. CEO Nancy Kelley is now claiming that knowing sex is real and can’t be changed is as bad as anti-Semitism.”
The mystery is not why so many are no leaving: it's how so many signed up for this nonsense in the first place.
