No matter your views on her stated reasons for quitting, Rosie Duffield has made a political career out of dehumanising one of the most marginalised groups in society.
She should never have been allowed the privilege of resigning. Labour should have withdrawn the whip long ago.
It is lucky for Huw Edwards that he is only guilty of purchasing child pornography so he only gets 0 jail time.
If he had done something really bad like plan a protest to try save the planet he would have got 4-5 years in jail.
Queer History @QueerHistGold, the only programme of its kind, has been axed by Goldsmiths’ devastating Transformation Plan. The end to our dispute is riddled with loss-of leading academics and vital scholarship.

This evening, our committee sent this letter to @FCorner & @GoldsmithsUoL SMT, on behalf of our membership.
Goldsmiths is constructed of world renowned depts, upheld by dedicated and innovative academics - 90 of which will receive redundancy letters on Monday.
🤨 Warden @GoldsmithsUoL' s statement calls racist, fascist violence "unrest in the UK".
Meanwhile, they are cancelling the MA's in Black lit & history + Queer History.

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.
Students from @BlackBritHistMA & @QueerHistGold are organising a solidarity demo for all staff affected by these brutal redundancies @GoldsmithsUoL. Council can still change their tune & stand down the proposed cuts.
