"Militant" trans rights activists are attempting to “cancel” Staffordshire University Criminology Professor James Treadwell for merely stating that prisons should remain single sex, according to Sky News host Rowan Dean. Professor Treadwell told UK publication the Daily Mail his university has received official complaints about his comments regarding single-sex prisons. Mr Dean said the professor is at risk of being cancelled for saying something that is “pure common sense”. “Most transgender people would agree with this sentiment, but the militant activists who are driving this agenda come down on this guy simply for stating what is pure, common sense.”

EXCLUSIVE: Professor James Treadwell was informed by his employer Staffordshire University yesterday that official complaints have been made about comments he has made on Twitter.
