Academics have called on the University of Edinburgh to ensure a screening of a gender-critical film goes ahead after Kathleen Stock’s talk in Oxford.
A planned screening of the controversial documentary Adult Human Female, which challenges transgender ideology and examines opposition to it in the UK, has been cancelled twice because of opposition from pro-trans campaigners.
A group of lecturers who call themselves the University of Edinburgh Academics for Academic Freedom said it was “shameful” that no events advocating for women’s rights on the basis of sex have been allowed to take place on campus to their knowledge during the past academic year.
They said that several public events platforming gender-identity theory “uncritically” have gone ahead at the university.
The academics cited an event with the gender-critical feminist Prof Stock at the Oxford Union last week, which went ahead despite some students and activists calling for her to be no-platformed over her views.
