First the video shitting on trans people and now this. The trajectory is exactly the same.

    TBH, not that surprising. I haven’t watched her videos, but STEM faculty can be often be quite reactionary, especially in fields that are much more of a white boys club like physics. I have had numerous heated arguments with transphobes in my department and related departments and despite all this “universities are Marxist/Liberal bastions”, even saying pronouns in introductions is a very unpopular thing with the faculty (students and staff less so). And this is despite my department having quite above average number of LGBTQ people in it.
