Professor Of Human Rights Tries To Make A Speech On How Intolerant Trans-Rights Activists Have Become, Gets Shut Down And Threatened Before He Can Get To The Podium

Angry trans-rights protestors swarmed and shut down a talk at McGill University from an alumnus who was discussing how the trans movement infringes on the rights of women.

Demonstrators packed the hallway outside a classroom hosting the talk from Robert Wintemute - a professor of human rights law specializing in sexual orientation at Kings College in London - who they accused of being associated with a 'notoriously transphobic and trans-exclusionary group.

The talk was eventually canceled.

Wintemute was discussing how he believes women's rights are infringed upon when they don't speak up for themselves out of fear of intimidation from trans activists. He told CTV he had to 'thank the protestors' for proving the point of his speech.

The Tuesday talk was hosted by the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism (CHRLP) at McGill, in Montreal. The center said inviting Wintemute to speak was not meant to be an endorsement of his viewpoints, but to serve as a platform for debate on the subject.
