Oxford professor given protection following threats from trans activists

Not open for further replies.

Prof Todd said the threats come from some campaigners who believe her views on the need to protect women's spaces, such as single-sex refuges, from people who self-identify as women but are anatomically male are unacceptable.
 

But transexual people aren't men are they

That is the core of the argument. Are they? They are not and can never be, anatomically female, so depending on where you draw the line, they either are or are not female.

This professor has stated she does not believe they are female and so must be excluded from such spaces, which has resulted in her receiving threats to her life.

Obviously the threats are deplorable but has she suggested where such people should seek refuge if required . Are there many trans refuges?

I do not know of any such refuges, but given the very low number of males who have transitioned to become female, I would think any such services would be confined to the city only, though some women's refuges may admit transexual people.
Good luck to the woke brigade

See when I was saying that you're just going around the board posting sarcastic things to get bites, this is what I meant.
 
A professor at Oxford said that female-only spaces (i.e. women's refuges) should not admit transexual people.
And rightly so. That Ross Kemp documentary recently saw a trans prisoner end up in a male bail hostel (because he'd been refused into all the womens ones). Women in refuges are normally fleeing domestic violence and will be fearful of strange men in such close proximity.
