"barred: Students ban 'transphobic'  feminists from campus  Students at the University of Bristol have voted to ban  from campus speakers who question the womanly status of  transgender people (Charlie Parker writes)  The university's students' union passed a motion to ""no-  Tap any  article platform"" so-called Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists  to scroll (Terfs), who argue that identifying as a woman is not the  same as being born a woman.  Feminists including Germaine Greer and Linda Bellos have been  barred from speaking at universities in the past for holding allegedly  transphobic views. Bristol, however, appears to be the first university  The motion, which was passed on Tuesday after being put  forward by the university's feminist society, prevents any events  involving collaboration with groups that hold Terf views from taking  place on university grounds.  One student who attended the meeting said that Terfs were  wrongly labelled as a ""hate group"", adding: ""There is no justification  for banning a view just because you don't like it.""  A further vote is needed before the motion becomes official union  policy, according to a spokesman for the students union. butchbabe:  butchstudsubmit:   tragicbrownlesbian:   anna-hates-meanies:  ominouslymathematical:  wall-noise:   trans-mom:  mall-communism:   soulsoaker:   septemberfirst1989:  bpdcalvinfischoeder: Good. good   good   Good   good  good   Good   Good  good   good   good"
