  • Summary

  • This week's Rosebud guest is Professor Kathleen Stock, the philosopher and writer. As Gyles says in his introduction, Stock has, at times, been a controversial figure in the debate about gender identity, but in this episode, we aim to get behind the headlines and find out about her life. The conversation takes us from her early years, playing games in the park behind their terraced house, to schooldays in Montrose, where she was the target of a long campaign of bullying, to her university days and the beginning of her academic career, to her first marriage and eventual coming out as a lesbian. Gyles and Kathleen then talk about the events that led to her resignation from her post as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sussex, following an outcry over a blog she'd written about the Gender Recognition Act. What is like to be ostracised by your profession and subject to public condemnation? This is a fascinating episode of Rosebud; whatever your views, we hope you enjoy finding out a bit more about Kathleen Stock. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
