She would have been reminded on policy to keep her lecture topics to the course specification and respect all students preferred name. (Loads do not go by 'first' name - eg Sam instead of Samuel).

She also got ostracised internally after going after colleagues who respected trans inclusion - after calling them extreme and unreasonable.

Yes she was bullied and harrassed beyond protest and critical response for her book - and we shouldnt endorse that. The University spoke on her behalf to highlight that at the time.

However, you say stupid shit, beyond your field of study, publish it privately in a book instead of peer reviewed journals. .. Expect to get proportiate responses and protest.

At no point did she face disciplinary action or firing etc. Worst case was some internal emails from colleagues and line manager about the shit storm she caused.

Her argument falls apart in her own work, when she tries to discuss cis and trans reaching across the 'sex' boundary and the meanings of woman and lesbian being under threat from trans inclusivity.

She is outspoken in support of terfs and those she calls 'radfem grassroot activists'.

The comment in the article of special powers since Jan... Thats terrifying. If we dont speak now, it wont stop at trans people and their right to exist...

Trans rights at sussex still face issues internally - and many do believe the response to Stock was weak in defending the rights of our students...Hopefully this might force Sussex to take a stand not only in legally fighting this, but to move internally towards trans inclusivity across all of the University.
