This is eâŚ" We protested Michael Foran. We want to tell our side of the story. We are claimed to have bullied and harassed attendees. This is entirely false. We stood up, read out short statements, and left peacefully, calling on others to join us. He was still able to present his lectures after we had left, and the decision to cancel was entirely his own.If Foran had not cancelled the rest of the talks, this would not be newsworthy. We find it notable that the main result so far is that Michael has a nice article presenting him as the victim, whilst his supporters are calling for us to be kicked out of the University.Our oppression may be systemic, but our resistance is local, community-based, intimate. It is in the networks of friends, allies, lovers and exes, in the mutual aid and the DIY hormones and the day-to-day euphoria that we make.Donât get afraid, get angry.BibliographyâAbout WRNâ, Womenâs Rights Network, n.d. <https://www.womensrights.network/about-wrn>âAnti Trans Organisations Exerting Powerful Influence Over Media and Politics, New Analysis Revealsâ, Amnesty International, 21 May 2026 <https://www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/new-uk-analysis-reveals--anti-trans-influence-media-politics> Bindel, Julie, âLooniversity Challenge!â, Julie Bindelâs Writing and Podcasts, Substack, 7 June 2026 Foran, Michael, âDue to escalating disruptive protestsâ, X, 7 June 2026 <https://x.com/michaelpforan/status/2063577885928013833>For Women Scotland, âThis is appallingâ, X, 7 June 2026 <https://x.com/ForWomenScot/status/2063579462336118981> Halligan, Maeve, âWhen I talk about fear cultureâ, X, 7 June 2026 <https://x.com/MaeveHalligan/status/2063641664703320462> âSex Mattersâ advisory group is growingâ, Sex Matters, 20 December 2024 <https://sex-matters.org/posts/updates/sex-matters-advisory-group-is-growing> Tait, Albert, âOxford Professor Cancels Lectures After Abuse from Pro-Trans Protestorsâ, Telegraph, 7 June 2026 <https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/07/oxford-professor-cancel-lectures-trans-protesters>Womenâs Rights Network, âIn Conversation with Michael Foran, expert in equality lawâ, Youtube, 14 May https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZUJ_ZeteEq
