Julie Bindel targeted a trans woman online with the folowing tweet:

“You are a monster. a sadistic. grotesque. sorrv excuse for a human being. I wish vou the very worst. Now fuck right off - I never want to see your hideous name again. As my friend Martina Navratilova said. it’s a shame you didn’t call yourself, Tess. One day you will pay for what you’ve done.”

Roxy Tickle (She/Her) responded to her tweet with:

“I’m sorry … are you threatening me?”

Bindel responded with:

“Why? Are you going to sue me? Call the police on me? Just try it, laddo. And ves, I absolutely AM threatening you. And I am calling you a sexual predator.”

The University’s unequivocal endorsement of Bindel’s hate speech against Roxy’s protected characteristic of Gender Reassingment as defined in the UK Equality Act, 2010 is not the first defense of Bindel’s hate speech.
