University Opens Investigation Into Student Who Stated Biological Fact

“…Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland, has opened a formal investigation into 29-year-old student Lisa Keogh, a mother of two, after she dared to utter biological facts in a debate about transgender identity. The university is investigating her “offensive” and “discriminatory” comments.

Keogh’s crime? She said, “women have vaginas,” and argued that a biological male who had testosterone in his body for 32 years would be stronger than the average woman, even if he identified as female. Another student accused her of calling women the “weaker sex.”

In 2019, a biological man who identifies as a woman set new world records for women’s squat, women’s bench press, and woman’s deadlift. Female olympian Sharron Davies decried the “unfair playing field,” noting that “a woman with female biology cannot compete.”

Keogh told The Times of London that she had been taking part in a video seminar about gender feminism and the law when she raised concerns about biological males who identify as “transgender women” competing in mixed martial arts.

When Keogh first heard about the formal investigation, it didn’t compute.

“I thought it was a joke. I thought there was no way that the university would pursue me for utilising my legal right to freedom of speech,” she told The Times.

Keogh said the professor muted her during the debate, and afterward, her fellow classmates heaped abuse on her…”
