Oh, gee, thanks; good to know.

Stickers saying “I Love JK Rowling” are not a “dog whistle” for transphobia, a university professor has told an employment tribunal.

Academics Deirdre O’Neill and Michael Wayne are suing the University and College Union (UCU) after its Edinburgh branch said their film Adult Human Female was an attack on transgender identity.

How are we defining “attack”? “Identity”? “Transgender”?

People who talk about and believe in and aggressively defend “transgender identity” believe that sex is swappable and that “transgender identity” is vastly more important than mere bodies. It’s all a bit church-like, really – never mind the vile body, it’s the soul that matters.

The film challenged trans rights claims and provoked protests when they tried to show it at the University of Edinburgh, the tribunal heard. The academics say this was unlawful discrimination by the UCU against their belief that there are only two sexes.

It’s not a belief. Everyone knows there are “only” two sexes (how many do you want ffs?) so the act of believing it is superfluous.
