United Kingdom (UK) Bath Spa
University (BSU) has refused a student’s request to research the regret
experienced by people – who transitioned back to their original birth sex –
after undergoing gender reassignment surgery.
The reasoning behind BSU’s ban on the study had nothing to do with
academics … and everything to do with campus politics.
“[The proposed study] may be
detrimental to the reputation of the institution,” the university stated, according
to a report. In other words, the fear of
being labeled “politically incorrect” was of greater concern to BSU. [Perhaps BSU should more correctly stand for
B_ll Sh_ t University.] Clearly, this UK
university is more concerned for its progressive reputation than its pursuit
for academic excellence.
Psychotherapist, James Caspian, was denied
permission to conduct his proposed study to complete his master’s degree in
counseling and psychotherapy. Caspian
told The Sunday Times, “[Bath Spa
University is violating] the most basic tenets of academic and intellectual
freedom of inquiry.”
A backlash on the Internet –
especially social media – was feared by BSU which seeks to protect its Leftist
reputation and pro-LGBT image.
Caspian – who specializes in therapy
for transgender people – merely sought to enlighten the medical community about
the possible pitfalls of transgender surgery, which can do irreparable physical
and psychological damage to patients.
“Caspian’s proposal was initially
approved by BSU, but he couldn’t find people willing to take part in it,” The Christian Post (CP) reported. “He then asked
if he could change the proposal to include women who had transitioned to men
and reverted to living as women without reversing their surgery. The university told Caspian that he would need
to write a new proposal to its ethics sub-committee, which rejected the
request.” “Engaging in a potentially ‘politically
incorrect’ piece of research carries a risk to the university,” the rejection slip
issued to Caspian reads, according to CP.
The 58-year-old counselor lamented
over the fact that BSU is too intent on not offending others to take its
academics seriously. “The fundamental
reason given was that it might cause criticism of the research on social media
and criticism of the research would be criticism of the university and they
also added it was better not to offend people,” Caspian told BBC Radio 4, according to the Independent. “I was astonished at that decision. I think a university exists to encourage
discussion, research, dissent even – challenging ideas that are out of date or
not particularly useful.”
The veteran counselor of 16-years was
upset that BSU is getting away with violating his educational rights. “Where would the reputation of a university
stand that cannot follow the most basic tenets of academic and intellectual
freedom of inquiry?” Caspian posed to Breitbart London.
Stories circulating
around London also indicate that the transgender movement is purposely
manipulating and pressuring children to adopt a gender-confused lifestyle that
they will eventually grow out of, as was displayed in a series of tweets.
Over time, the world is seeing more
and more transgenders who return to their natural gender. “[Caspian] pointed out that studies of the
percentage of people regretting ‘transitioning’ their gender ranged from a
couple of percent to 20 percent, and said new research was needed as attitudes
changed and practitioners observed a rise in those reversing surgery.”
Today, violence is
often witnessed in the transgender community, which has been reported on by Breitbart. The Leftist movement is reportedly turning to
violent demonstrations to push their worldview on others, especially when
confronting those who disagree. “Opponents
of transgender ideology have claimed the transgender lobby is aggressive – and
even violent – in its attempts to promote transgenderism and silence criticism,
and some feminist campaigners have been physically attacked by trans
activists,” Breitbart London’s Liam
Deacon pointed out.
Caspian does not know what the BSU
fears would happen by allowing his research, which he insists would only help –
not hinder – patients. “It’s
ridiculous,” he asserted, according to Breitbart London. “I’m in my late 50s, I’m an expert in my field
and I’m not even on social media. I’m
not frightened at all. Asking questions
is not a hate crime.”
