   TERF island strikes again. Bad fucking news.

   'The University of Sussex has been fined £585,000 by the higher education regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), for failing to uphold freedom of speech

   ...

   The OfS criticised the university's policy statement on Trans and Non-Binary equality, saying its requirement to "positively represent trans people" and an assertion that "transphobic propaganda [would] not be tolerated" could lead staff and students to "self-censor"'

     You all know Labour are fully on board the trans hate train but just to hammer the point home:

     'Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said free speech and academic freedom were "non-negotiables" in universities... If you go to university you must be prepared to have your views challenged, hear contrary opinions and be exposed to uncomfortable truths'

     Aral Balkan and Steve's Place repeated this.
