EXPELLED FROM MY UNIVERSITY COURSE FOR MY GENDER CRITICAL BELIEFS

Dear supporters. As you know, I have spent the last few months campaigning around treatment of gender dysphoria for vulnerable children. This included a parliamentary petition which got over 10k signatures. (1/6)

A few months ago, without warning, I received an email from my educational institute - @Metanoia_Inst - expelling me with immediate effect from my Masters course that I spent 3 years working towards. I was provided no evidence and not a single opportunity to defend myself. (2/6)

That evening I discovered they had publicised the expulsion on Twitter, in an attempt to destroy my reputation.

I am taking legal action against them for their discrimination against my beliefs but also to stand up for free speech, women’s rights and vulnerable children.(3/6)

However, I cannot do this without your support. I need to raise money to fund my legal case. If free speech, safety for women and protecting children matter to you as much as they do to me, can I please ask that you donate to my crowdfund - crowdjustice.com/case/expelled-… (4/6)

The Mail on Sunday have written an article on what has happened to me, which includes details about the fact that I also lost my volunteering role at Childline (@NSPCC) after over 5 years counselling there, for seeking open and honest discussion.

The last few months have been extremely challenging for me but I will never stop fighting for what is important. Educational institutes must be held to account when they deny free speech to their students. Thank you all in advance. James (6/6)
