Kathleen Stock: ‘It’s like a terrible dream to see your name plastered over every wall’
In her first interview since resigning, Kathleen Stock talks to Emma Barnett about her experiences at the University of Sussex, including weeks of protest on campus by students who objected to her ‘gender critical’ views, and called for her removal.
In her book, Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism, Stock argues that it isn’t possible for people to change their biological sex, and that someone’s sex should sometimes take precedence over their gender identity.
The University said they would not sack Stock, and ‘vigorously and unequivocally’ defended her right to academic freedom and lawful freedom of speech, free from bullying and harassment.
She describes what her last trip to campus was like in an exclusive interview with Woman's Hour and Newsnight.
