Australian university cancels speech by major critic of transgenderism

CRAWLEY, Western Australia, August 17, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The University of Western Australia (UWA) has canceled a speech by a prominent critic of transgenderism just days after admitting that canceling the speech would set a negative precedent for academic debate.

Dr. Quentin Van Meter is a pediatric endocrinologist and president of the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds), a socially-conservative group of children’s health providers and experts. He was slated to speak at the university today as part of a nationwide tour sponsored by the Australian Family Association (AFA).

As LifeSiteNews reported Thursday, the event came under fire by pro-LGBT activists due to Van Meter’s contentions that transgenderism is a “delusional disorder” for which “no biological basis” can be found, that giving gender-confused children puberty blockers is akin to child abuse, and other views that defy the secular consensus on gender identity.

The mission of universities, is (was ?) the quest for knowledge.

The Enlightment

Athens, Rome, Florence, Paris, London, Berlin, Vienna, etc.

Shutting down free speech is contrary to that mission.
