from WND:
‘Temporary victory for censorious bullies’
A documentary about the reality of biological sex has been shut down at a university because leftist activists posed “safety concerns” by preventing those who wanted to see the project from reaching the hall where it was being shown.
The Christian Institute reported that the screening of “Adult Human Female,” by filmmakers Dierdre O’Neill and Mike Wayne, was canceled by officials at the University of Edinburgh.

It was to be shown at a lecture hall in George Square but was canceled when “students” protesting the facts in the documentary “prevented attendees from accessing the hall or an alternative venue,” the report said.
The University of Edinburgh Academics for Academic Freedom set up the screening, and called the cancellation a “temporary victory for censorious bullies.”
It is supposed to be rescheduled, the institute reported.
Claire Coutinho MP, parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Education, warned the result was evidence of a “growing creep of self-censorship” in education.
“Free speech has been the bedrock of progress in our society for centuries. Without the freedom to speak, to express our opinions, we cannot have progress. However, that right is under threat in the very institutions where it should be the most treasured. It is vital that we take active steps to protect it now and for future generations,” she said.
According to a report from the BBC, the protesters formed a blockade to prevent people from seeing the movie, and while police were summoned, there were no arrests.
The school’s “LGBT+ Pride Society” had condemned the ideas portrayed in the project, and demanded that it be stopped.
Activists claimed the project was part of “transphobia on campus” and they said that would simply not allow those ideas to be presented.
