This is why we have anti-harassment and anti-discrimination policies—they reassure marginalized groups that they are welcome as themselves, giving conversation and learning a place to begin. Until and unless that safety exists, debate is unbalanced or false.

Folks in marginalized groups worry about the quality of their work only after knowing they are safe in their workplace. They worry about scholarly engagement only after knowing they are safe in their school. They decide where to attend based upon where they can be themselves.

Until and unless folks in marginalized groups know they have protection, those groups remain at the mercy of authorities. Institutions dictate what they can do, who they can be. Stock’s letter presumes that academic debate can exist in the absence of safety, when it cannot.

The ongoing debate is tricky. Both sides agree that academics must have the freedom to question and challenge ideas and value systems. Those who penned the letter want to ensure they can challenge their institution’s stance—but they already have the protection of the institution.

Apparently someone refuses to actually do baseline research in critical gender studies and also the research being done by the far right researchers. Waiting for your pieces about the far right. Do tell me when you actually do some research.

It is super fascinating when you continue to use terms like "silence" but somehow have decided that an entire gendered group does not have the right to exist or speak. And apparently we're still stuck in 2nd-wave feminism b/c somehow intersectional feminism is not a thing.

Feminism is political. So waiting now for the explanation about how white toxic colonial TERF feminism is somehow not what several researched pieces have already made clear--a tool of white supremacy and a gateway to the far right.
