For the first time, you can read about the two separate cancellations of my friends Thea and Serena for their gender critical beliefs.

Thea was cancelled at University of Cambridge. Her crime? Owning two books, Trans by Helen Joyce and Material Girls by Kathleen Stock. Someone scratched the word ‘TERF’ on her bedroom door.

Serena was cancelled at the University of Oregon after she questioned her support for gender ideology having lived in the same dorm room as a trans identified man. The women who should have supported her through the abusive behaviour she was on the receiving end of were more interested in making sure she remained a believer in the ideology. She had to drop out and came to Cambridge instead.

Now, with President @MaeveHalligan the three of them have set up the only single-sex society for women at the University of Cambridge.

‘Think Before You Post’

How Britain fell to a sinister new form of censorship.

We spoke to the Brits locked up for social-media posts.

What we discovered was even more chilling than the headlines would have you believe.

Let us know what you think 👇

The ultimate consequence of ‘no platform’ and ‘no debate’. Murdered while speaking to thousands of students. @AFAF_freespeech @StudentAFAF @TheFIREorg @NASorg @SpeechUnion RIP Charlie Kirk

[St Andrews Academics for Academic Freedom @StAnd_AFAF]

This week F.I.R.E. reports 34% of students on US campuses find it acceptable to use violence to stop someone speaking on campus. Up 10% in 4 years.

Overnight Charlie Kirk, who believed in open respectful debate was shot in the neck and died in front of a campus crowd.

Weeping.

BREAKING: FIRE’s 2026 College Free Speech Rankings reveal America’s colleges are failing.

The nation’s report card on campus speech shows over half of colleges received an “F” rating. Intolerance in students has skyrocketed in the Trump 2.0 era.
