I know this because the Scottish Feminist Network is still compromised.
Here they have a list of the people they want to silence in the lead up to the end of this debate. It includes trans people but mostly trans allies and even Parliament Staff.

This is disappointing. People have a right to question Prof. Stock's views when they are harmful to trans + non-binary staff members and students. Staff have a duty of care to students + students pay for an education, they should be able to complain/call out issues accordingly.
