      Love the part on the video where essentially she says “I was given my first research position thanks to a grant for women. Also, there should be no research grants for women”. Piece of shit.

        To be clear, you are criticising Sabine for saying there should be no research grants for women? If so, you perhaps misinterpret her meaning? If I know Sabine at all from her videos she would have simply meant that in an equal world, grants aimed specifically at either sex should not be necessary. I don’t think this is a “raise the drawbridge” stance, if that’s what you mean.

          Not quite, I’m afraid. Her point was essentially “I had very good grades, so I would have been hired anyway, but instead of hiring me normally, they hired me through this grant for women, which is a form of discrimination”. She’s not explicitly saying “kick the ladder when I’m up top”, but it’s essentially the conclusion. She mentions it on the “what’s wrong with academia” thingy video.

      It’s sad that she decided to channel her experience into transphobia, as if punching down will somehow make up for all the punches she got.
