SCIENCE! King’s College London rejects research on trans athletes for calling men ‘males.’

Armstrong told The College Fix via email he was told to “contact the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion team to seek input on the wording used in the survey and surrounding presentation of the research.”

Armstrong, a lecturer and mathematician at the university, said “the specific text they objected to was in the presentation of the research.”

“The language is not sensitive and the misgendering of athletes is not appropriate,” the research review team told Armstrong. This is because he wanted to ask individuals their thoughts about “when males should be allowed to compete in the female category in athletics.”

“This is different to the language used by World Athletics,” the research team told him.

Professor Armstrong said that athletes who are critical of transgender participation in elite competition have lost a chance to be heard, due to the obstacles imposed on research into the topic.

That means the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion team is functioning as designed.
