The latest in the world of gender-critical women being silenced:
Sorry to say that despite selling out immediately, this event has now been cancelled.
The organiser offered all kinds of compromises—a trans voice on the panel, a separate rebuttal event, even a statement disassociating the Skeptic Society from our views—but it wasn’t enough. pic.twitter.com/m9FOWulcKn

As she goes on to note, "The fact it’s a sceptics group does make it objectively funny as well as depressing."
Janice Turner in the Times:
My friend the Atlantic journalist Helen Lewis was invited with Hannah Barnes, author of the Baillie Gifford-shortlisted book Time to Think, to give a talk on gender and science in Brighton. Tickets sold out in record time, but after a complaint the organisers trembled and cancelled the event.
Ironically they are the Skeptics, an Enlightenment values, pro-reason group whose motto is “It’s not about what you think, it’s about how you think”.
Or, in this case, who is allowed to think at all.
