A prestigious college at the University of Oxford announced Thursday that violating its new transgender harassment policy, including using the wrong pronouns, could lead to expulsion.<\/p>\n
Regent\u2019s Park College released a Trans Inclusion Statement, which outlines in detail what the college considers \u201ctransphobic harassment\u201d and threatens offenders with severe penalties, including expulsion.<\/p>\n
The statement declares, \u201cAny unlawful discriminatory behaviour, including transphobic harassment or bullying of by individuals or groups, will be regarded extremely seriously and could be grounds for disciplinary action, which may include expulsion or dismissal.\u201d<\/p>\n
The college\u2019s statement goes on to define \u201ctransphobia\u201d broadly, including acts like \u201cdenying or disputing the validity and\/or existence of a trans person\u2019s identity,\u201d \u201crefusal to treat a person in accordance with their affirmed identity,\u201d and \u201cmisgendering\u201d by using \u201cthe wrong name or pronoun.\u201d<\/p>\n
The college further admits that \u201cit is not possible to have a comprehensive definition of transphobia.\u201d The college interprets the United Kingdom\u2019s Equality Act of 2010 to forbid discrimination based on gender identity, even though the law uses the medical term \u201cgender reassignment\u201d rather than \u201cgender identity\u201d in its anti-discrimination language.<\/p>\n
The Trans Inclusion Statement came out in the wake of a controversial talk the college hosted given by \u201cgender-critical feminist\u201d Kathleen Stock, a former professor at the University of Sussex. Stock\u2019s talk was heavily protested and even interrupted by a trans activist who glued her hands to the floor of the stage.<\/p>\n
