CENSORED SCIENCE: University shuts down study on people who wished they hadn’t changed their gender

Institutions of higher learning are supposed to be incubators of academic and intellectual liberty. But at Bath Spa University in the United Kingdom, the freedom to explore and learn new things apparently stops at hot-button social issues like the recent transgender phenomenon that’s recently captured the news cycle.
Psychologist and researcher James Caspian learned this the hard way when he decided to launch a study on people who regret having undergone so-called “gender reassignment” surgery – which isn’t all that surprising since Caspian specializes in providing therapy for transgender people.
But when Bath Spa administration caught wind of Caspian’s intended research, they immediately shut it down because of the “potentially politically incorrect” results it might produce. More important to this university than facilitating the pursuit of truth, in other words, is catering to the whims of political correctness.
Caspian had intended to file a lawsuit against the school back in December 2016, but was told that he should first utilize the university’s formal complaint procedure. He followed these instructions, but Bath Spa reportedly delayed the process for so long that it wasn’t ready by the time the issue arrived in court. As a result, Caspian’s case was thrown out entirely.
Adding insult to injury, Bath Spa then demanded a monetary judgment from Caspian in the amount of £5,000 (roughly $7,000) – to which the court agreed. When Caspian offered to pay the school monthly installments of £200, presumably because he doesn’t have thousands of dollars in cash just lying around, he says he received a “nasty” and “aggressive” email from the university’s solicitor, who demanded immediate payment of the full amount.
“This is obviously a tactic to get rid of me,” Caspian is quoted as saying by The Times (U.K.). “They have breached the most basic tenets of intellectual freedom of inquiry and are now trying to shut me down by bullying me about the money.”
