This is sadly lacking any background, I found this [0] article explaining what this is about, and back in January [1] there was an open letter by 600 philosophers condemning her.

The "600 philosophers" letter does not include the title of the signers. This one seems more legit.

  I only checked the first 3, but one is a professor, the other a dean, and the 3rd an assistant professor. All having PhDs. Seems like an odd thing to instantly dismiss one for.

> I found this [0] article explaining what this is about That's being very generous to the article, which is long on what she's accused of, and very short on what she actually said. While her accusers are quoted numerous times, the accused gets only a single sentence: However, many trans women are still males with male genitalia, many are sexually attracted to females, and they should not be in places where females undress or sleep in a completely unrestricted way. As 'male' was clearly referring to biology, the first two statements are an accurate summary of empirical facts [1]. Only the third statement is opinion. It is left as an exercise to the reader whether that opinion is deserving of the backlash she faced.
