After classmates complained
Spared punishment for…saying women have vaginas:
A LAW student who was investigated by a Scottish university for saying women have vaginas and are not as strong as men has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
Lisa Keogh, 29, was investigated by Abertay University after classmates complained she had made “offensive” and “discriminatory” remarks at a lecture.
She had argued the difference in strength between the sexes meant it was not fair that women should have to compete against trans women in sport.
Which you’d think would be something everyone knew, and the reason women have their own teams and games and competitions in the first place, but you know…”offensive”…
Ms Keogh, who was supported by the SNP MP Joanna Cherry QC and the Free Speech Union, said she was delighted at the victory but saddened the episode took place.
She said she had been targeted in a “modern day witch hunt” because of her gender critical views and belief in sex-based rights, and accused Abertay of being “needlessly cruel” in dragging on an the investigation for two months during her final year exams.
She was targeted and she’s far from being the only one. This is the new Social Justice: organized persecution of women for saying that women are women and men are not women.
Keogh continues:
“No woman should face discrimination in the way I have because she believes in sex-based rights.
“I want to say a special thank you to the Free Speech Union for helping me through this stressful time, in particular Fraser Hudghton, the Case Management Director, who has been on hand at all hours to answer my calls and navigate me through this.
“I also want to say a massive thank you to the SNP MP Joanna Cherry who is someone who I look up to. The fact that she had my back throughout gave me the strength to carry on.
Ms Cherry added: “I’m pleased at this outcome. But Lisa should never have been put through this ordeal in the first place and the University should review its free speech and equality policies to make sure that future students are not subject to the stress of spurious complaints nor discriminated against, harassed or victimised for their beliefs.”
And that should go double for “beliefs” as fundamental as the “belief”(actually the knowledge) that men are not women.
For those considering a law education at Abertay University, it might be worth reconsidering. Classmates, I’m assuming also law students and possibly last year students, hear an argument they don’t like and the response is… make a better and more convincing counterargument? Of course not. Report the person to the university.
Who will they report to when opposing councel makes an argument against their case?
