"Two speakers at a debate on feminism and censorship have been banned from appearing at the University of Manchester.

Manchester University Students' Union has banned radical feminist Julie Bindel, saying she has "dangerous" views on transgender people.


She has frequently come under fire in the past for her controversial views about the validity of trans people's experiences.

In addition, Breitbart associate editor Milo Yiannopoulos has also been banned from appearing at the debate."

Mixed feelings about this. She richly deserves it and her opinions do not deserve an airing. OTOH, I favor debate over censorship and I think there's some value to allowing people to listen to ignorant opinions being destroyed by intelligent discussion.

Oh, the irony....

If we don't let these people speak, how will everyone get to know how idiotic they actually are?
