Witch Hunt: University in Scotland Opens Investigation Into Student Who Stated Biological Fact

Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland, has opened a formal investigation into 29-year-old student Lisa Keogh, a mother of two, after she dared to utter biological facts in a debate about transgender identity. The university is investigating her “offensive” and “discriminatory” comments.

Keogh’s crime? She said, “women have vaginas,” and argued that a biological male who had testosterone in his body for 32 years would be stronger than the average woman, even if he identified as female. Another student accused her of calling women the “weaker sex.”

In 2019, a biological man who identifies as a woman set new world records for women’s squat, women’s bench press, and woman’s deadlift. Female olympian Sharron Davies decried the “unfair playing field,” noting that “a woman with female biology cannot compete.”

Keogh told The Times of London that she had been taking part in a video seminar about gender feminism and the law when she raised concerns about biological males who identify as “transgender women” competing in mixed martial arts.

When Keogh first heard about the formal investigation, it didn’t compute.

“I thought it was a joke. I thought there was no way that the university would pursue me for utilising my legal right to freedom of speech,” she told The Times.

Keogh said the professor muted her during the debate, and afterward, her fellow classmates heaped abuse on her.

“I didn’t intend to be offensive but I did take part in a debate and outlined my sincerely held views,” the student said. “I wasn’t being mean, transphobic or offensive. I was stating a basic biological fact.”

Keogh told The Times that she now fears that the university’s formal investigation — and the threat of punitive action — may jeopardize her ambition to become a lawyer.

Tragically, the transgender movement has indeed undermined free speech in various settings. In 2019, British tax expert Maya Forstater was fired over tweets in which she said that “men cannot change into women.” Even in the United States, where the First Amendment provides extremely powerful protections for free speech, Shawnee State University forced a professor to use transgender pronouns.

Facts? We already know what pedo joe has chosen. Truth over facts is the way to go. What ever that means. Although we know exactly what it means.

Imagine a world that is just made up of men and women...../s
Apparently, even with a PhD education, science and biology must be denied...............................

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

Christ is Risen!!!!

Lisa Keogh would make a fine lawyer!!!!

The “woke” crowd that opposes her, however, are good for nothing, at least until they regain a connection with reality!!!!

‘Freedom’ of expression and even thought, is an illusion in today’s ‘cancel culture’ society.

[I want the USA back]

Truth is now illegal. We’ve know that for a long time.

“— may jeopardize her ambition to become a lawyer.”

Not if she wins. Welcome to legal debate.

Of course I think they have barristers there. She has to prove her innocence.

She said, “women have vaginas,” and argued that a biological male who had testosterone in his body for 32 years would be stronger than the average woman, even if he identified as female. Another student accused her of calling women the “weaker sex.

She's obviously the smarter sex. Any male accusers should drop their trousers and show their vaginas to prove her wrong.

Has any professor been asked how many sexes do dogs and cats have?

Scientifically, we cannot change sex in any way. It is in our DNA! One would need to replace all cells in ones body.
Changing gender is just a cosmetic operation, equivalent to the nose job. It should be treated the same way. Ditto the hormone treatments.
The left is full of “trust the science” when it fits them, but neglects science, if it goes against their “feelings”.
In cases of transgenderisms, on should TRUST the SCIENCE!

When it comes to lifting heavy things or running really fast they are. When it comes to hanging on to life, girls/women are the stronger sex.

When men are actively pretending to be women, do they gain an extra five years of life expectancy? Of course not. No matter how hard they wish, no matter how much they insist we call them women, they will never be women.
