Indeed. SS embodies the whole sorry mess, in that hardly anyone in it
ever saw Arday as a person. For Cambridge he was a way to buff their
credentials, to be discarded when he became embarrassing. For Sodha
he was a prop to air grievances about “gender ideology".

Also... it didn't? Even if there was a monolithic worldview that exists only in
her imagination then it didn't.

The sheer volume of people who decided that this story was, actually,
when you think about it, about the trans debate...will any of them ever go
“wait a second, that's mental!” - no, of course not.

Devastating. The experiences Dr. Blackstock shares really hit hard—the constant questioning, the baseless accusations. No one should have to endure that just for existing in academic spaces. Rest in power, Prof. Arday.
