I’m taking the OU to court for failing to protect me from being harassed for gender critical beliefs. We need to stop this happening to any other academics. If you can support me financially or by amplifying my crowd justice funder, I’ll be very grateful

More and more academics are experiencing harassment and fear of losing their jobs just for expressing basic truths and criticizing gender. This is having a chilling effect on academic freedom and freedom of expression.

“My hope is that this case will force universities to protect female academics from the vicious bullying perpetrated by those who disagree with our beliefs on sex and gender; bullying that is designed to silence us and our research.” -Prof Jo Phoenix
