#KathleenStock, who claims her trans-exclusionary views are '#feminist', had only been talking at #OxfordUnion for around five minutes before protesters jumped out of the audience waving #Prideflags. One activist, #RizPossnett, wrote a t-shirt stating "no more dead trans kids" and glued her hand to the floor directly in front of Kathleen Stock before being removed by police. The appearance by the academic, who voluntarily resigned from the #UniversityofSussex in 2021 amid protests over the views on trans people, has been heavily protests for weeks, with the #OxfordUniversity #LGBTQ+ Society and more than 100 Oxford academics opposing it. Meanwhile, Stock has had the support of unelected #Tory #primeminister #RishiSunak and controversial biologist #RichardDawkins. Controversy arose in April after the Oxford Union announced that Stock, who has argued that #selfID of trans people "threatens a secure understanding of the concept of '#lesbian'", had agreed to speak just a couple of days before the start of #PrideMonth. It was almost immediately condemned by the university's LGBTQ+ society, claiming Stock "has been campaigning against #transrights, labelling them as dangerous to women". On the day of the talk – May 30, conveniently coinciding with the release of #Channel4's controversial documentary #GenderWars, also starring Stock – more than 200 people attending a protest on #BonnSquare in Oxford city centre. Participant waved banners reading “resisting by existing" with chants of “trans rights – human rights” being bellowed, the #EveningStandard reported. #Transactivist and student Riz Possnett, who on 11 May handled being confronted with crude questions about their gender live on #GBNews sensationally well, explained why they felt they had to take the brave action against Kathleen Stock. “Kathleen Stock is not welcome here. TERFs are not welcome here. We will resist hatred, and we will fight for trans rights," they said on Twitter. "Trans people, including trans youth, deserve to live in peace, safe from bigotry and harassment, with access to life-saving #genderaffirminghealthcare." #transrightsarehumanrights #translivesmatter #oxford #uknews #ukpolitics #queernews
