Professor Richard Dawkins, the renowned evolutionary biologist who wrote The Selfish Gene, is among 117 signatories who have written to The Times after the decision by Dr Michael Foran to cancel his lectures on gender law.
Foran, an associate professor of law at Oxford, had been due to deliver four talks on the themes of his new book, Sex, Gender Identity and the Law.
The lectures looked at how the issues of sex and gender have affected the law in relation to the controversies over single-sex spaces, freedom of expression, privacy, sport and sexual intimacy.

There is no obvious route for a Senior member to complain about the decision of the Proctors other than to table a question to Council through Congregation. A governance structure not optimised for rapid response. Two Proctors are ex officio members of Council. One can draw one's

Skills Minister Jacqui Smith: âOn that basis, notwithstanding recognising the legal decision, I think itâs important that that doesnât say to the OfS that they should back off,â she continued, particularly when it comes to âensuring that there is full understanding for universities about the approach that needs to be taken on both academic freedom and freedom of speechâ.

To get mildly technical Ashley, llamas don't have a right to dignity & respect. But there are reasons to grant them equal consideration for similar interests.
Come back to me in 10 minutes, when I've decided whether I'm laughing or crying.
Her views on being a llama may have changed in the last 10 years. But she was 43 when she wrote that.
With thanks to @EmmJayYardley for sharing this with the class.

The City of London is defying the Supreme Court in pledging to carry on with allowing men into the women's bathing pond.
Which men? City bosses say they will leave that to the "common sense" of frontline staff.
Lawful...? We'll see them in court in November.

The City of London Corporation has decided to continue with its âtrans inclusiveâ approach to admissions to the menâs and womenâs ponds on Hampstead Heath.
Our legal challenge is set to go ahead, with a hearing listed for 3rd and 4th November.

Female police officers should never be expected to search men who say they are women.
Weâre in court on 16th June, standing up for officers whose forces think unlawful searches can be allowed âby consentâ.
Will you support our legal challenge?

More than 100 academics have urged the University of Oxford to reinstate a lecture series that was cancelled after protests from trans activists.
In the letter, published in The Times on Thursday, they wrote: âIt appears that the university proctors authorised and facilitated protests inside the lecture theatre and did nothing to remove miscreants."

Sir, We have written to Professor Irene Tracey, vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford, to express our grave concern regarding the disruption of Dr Michael Foranâs lectures on âSex, Gender Identity and the Lawâ (âProtests cancel Oxford gender lecturesâ, Jun 9). After disruption of the first two lectures in the planned series, which included intimidation of students in the audience by the demonstrators, Dr Foran felt obliged to cancel the remaining lectures.
It appears that the university proctors authorised and facilitated protests inside the lecture theatre and did nothing to remove miscreants. Members of the Proctorsâ Office, including senior figures, can be seen in videos of the disruption. The proctors have enabled the exercise of a hecklerâs veto.
The failure of the proctors to uphold the essential functions of the university has created a hostile and degrading environment for Dr Foran and his students, and will inevitably contribute to a chilling effect, constraining the discussion of sex and gender at the university. The disruption of lectures violates the rights of students to listen, participate in discussion, and learn from their lecturers and from one another. The university must act to ensure that Dr Foranâs lectures can be rescheduled, and that no disruptive protest will be authorised. The proctors should receive training to ensure that they understand their duties.

The EDM against the EHRC's revised Code of Practice gives a useful window on where lobbying at Westminster against women being able to benefit from boundaries based on sex is now finding the most fertile ground.

I've been playing with the @HEPI_news data tables, some fascinating differences according to student characteristics.
First up social class. 37% of ABC1s say males should be allowed to use women's changing rooms compared to 28% of C2DEs.
Even among students (exposed to so much propaganda and peer pressure on this issue), a decisive majority disagree with males using women's changing rooms (and vice versa).
Great to see the question asked really clearly by @HEPI_news (so often not the case in polling this topic).
Interesting given that universities' failure to uphold EA2010 seems to be driven by fear of (perceived) student opinion. Yet this polling demonstrates that most students quietly disagree with their activist/NUS peers.
I'd love to see further breakdown of the numbers, e.g. Russell Group vs other students @nickhillman

Black and Asian students are way less likely to approve of males in women's changing rooms compared to whites.

And finally, humanities and social sciences students are the only group more likely to approve than disapprove of males in women' changing rooms.
