So just so we're clear, I just got no-platformed from a university talk for proposing to argue "woman"=adult human female, because this "can and perhaps must" be understood as disparaging "a particular group of people".

The rest of that conversation:
Now, with regard to 1., abstracts normally undergo (blind) peer-review. They would never have made such an egregious error. This explanation is ridiculous. It is more likely that transactivists demanded the de-platforming of Prof. Stock, once her name appeared on the programme. — Miroslav Imbrisevic (@Miroandrej) December 10, 2020

Thank you Miroslav, that is very kind of you. The topic as originally offered to me was "Bodies, Gender Identity and Misogyny" so I was scarcely off topic. I think it's obvious the second reason is the most pressing one. — Kathleen Stock (@Docstockk) December 10, 2020

I have always been proud of my German education, at school and at university. What the ZASBerlin is doing is contrary to the spirit of Humboldt. — Miroslav Imbrisevic (@Miroandrej) December 10, 2020

Crowing about the deplatforming.
As an anime aficionado, I must say that I find the extensive use by the trans cult of chibi avatars and anime fan lingo (e.g., waifu) infinitely grating. It was barely tolerable to begin with.
