Welcome to our third event in the 'Replatforming Deplatformed Women' lecture series! This week we're in conversation with the wonderful @MForstater. Our Co-President Phoebe will be livetweeting the event - join in the conversation with #CamRadFems
Imogen: this talk is particularly pertinent today in light of the Polish debate on withdrawing from the Istanbul convention. We stand in solidarity with Polish women. #CamRadFems

@ClareCollege must stand up against this absurd, bullying behaviour.
The description in this article of Kevin Price's tweets as "transphobic" is both ridiculous, and a precise encapsulation of what is so very wrong with the current student culture at Cambridge.
The mere recognition of a conflict between modern gender ideology and women's rights
is now politically unsayable for some young students. To the point that a man who has worked at the university for years is now thrown under the bus for daring to speak his conscience.

Solidarity and massive respect for Kevin Price, who resigned from @CamCitCo over a motion repeating the words:
"Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary individuals are non-binary.”
In his words: (1/6)
"The inclusion of the first three sentences of this motion will send a chill down the spines of the many women who believe there is a conflict of rights and who want to be able to discuss those in a calm and evidenced-based way."

A significant portion of our network –and 2/4 of our exec committee– are lesbian / bisexual Cambridge students. CUSU LGBT no longer even maintains the pretence of representing us. Incidentally, however, this Q's phrasing nicely illustrates the hypocrisy of ‘gender identity’. 1/8
Women are forced either to (a) profess to have some metaphysical “womanly identity” beyond simply factually being a woman, or (b) deny they are women at all, and thereby surrender their claim to have Student Rep socs serve their interests. 2/8
