We are horrified by the announcement of the PATHWAYS trial. As a charity representing lesbians, gays and bisexuals we are outraged that the lives of mostly LGB teenagers are held in such contempt that blocking their development has been given ethical approval. We are supporting

Stonewall still patronised by hard pressed universities. Why? They remain an impediment to womenâs spaces, free speech and the law. https://t.co/AvvjKkvE4z

Solidarity with @StuartWaiton . Defend academic freedom!
An academic has been branded a ârape apologistâ, had his office graffitied and is now facing student protests. His crime? He says men accused of rape should get a fair trial. This is an outrageous witch-hunt, says Joanna Williams https://t.co/Jnfp4ZGdRZ

This is absolutely appalling harassment and intimidation of a lecturer. An attempt to suppress academic freedom and silence someone for the âcrimeâ of wanting open debate and viewpoint diversity on campus. Those waging this campaign need punishing not protecting by university
Dr Stuart Waiton says he has received emails and calls from people demanding he be sacked from his university role over the speaker session.

It seems that in Bristol the âgenderâ trans lobby is so bereft of actual arguments that they sink to simply walking out of the Council meeting when faced with real arguments put by real women. How pathetic. https://t.co/CgynmGq4hH

More intolerance on sex/gender from the trans activists. Bristol Greens 'have right to walk out' if women question trans policy. https://t.co/wMWH30xqln
