A British academic who was forced to resign after being harassed by transgender activists has now joined a newly-launched U.S. university dedicated to the “fearless pursuit of truth.”

Kathleen Stock, a philosophy professor at the University of Sussex, announced on Oct. 28 her decision to leave the university after having a “horrible time” fending off accusations from transgender activists.
