This is a partial list of academics who have been targeted by outrage mobs and other academics for expressing ideas. Their consequences for speaking scientific truth have ranged from being fired, having papers retracted for no reason, deplatforming and ruination of their careers to threats of violence and death.
Colin Wright, an evolutionary biologist.
Driven out of academia by an Twitter outrage mob for arguing in favour of a scientific truth, namely, that there are only two biological human sexes.
Dr. Kathleen Stock OBE.
Denounced and targeted as a “transphobe” by over 700 of her academic colleagues for the crime of advocating Gender Critical viewpoints, specifically that transwomen should be excluded from places like women’s locker rooms and shelters, and rape crisis centres, as well as for calling for an end to the assocation between UK universities and Stonewall.
Protesters had tried to have Professor Kathleen Stock sacked for her views on gender identity.

Professor Selina Todd, history professor at Oxford University’s St. Hilda College.
Targeted by a Twitter outrage mob who had her "no-platformed" by the Oxford International Women's Festival, at which she had been due to speak. The event's organisers told her the decision was due to pressure from trans activists. Apparently, she had the temerity to state that there is a need for women-only spaces because of past violence against women by natural born males. She had to be given security because some of those nice, cuddly, inoffensive people that a number of posters here love to support, made threats of physcial violence agianst her.
A FEMINIST Oxford professor has been given security guards to protect her following threats from transgender activists.

Professor Kathleen Lowery.
Removed from her position as Associate Chair for Academic Programs in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alberta. Her crime? She expressed her disgreement with the idea that biological sex is irrelevant. She said that housing trans-identified men in women’s prisons is not fair to women prisoners and puts women at risk.
A University of Alberta associate professor says she was dismissed from an administrative role over her views that transgender identity doesn’t trump biological sex…

Laura Tanner, graduate student in Feminist Studies, UCSB.
Attacked by the outrage mob in an attempt to remove her from campus and teaching, because she stated the scientific and biological facts that there are only two biological sexes, and that a man can never become a woman.
The Twitter account, which features the T.A.'s photograph and name, contains hundreds of tweets and retweets espousing transphobic views.

Help stop another censorious academic outrage mob.

Linda Gottfredson, Psychology, University of Delaware
Disinvited from a conference in Sweden for presenting research showing that there are group differences in average IQ test scores and for reviewing research showing that intelligence is heritable. In fact, intelligence is indeed heritable to some extent, but apparently, saying so triggered some snowflakes in Swedish academia.
A profound discomfort with empirical findings emerging from intelligence research lies at the heart of the disinvitation.

Lisa Littman, MD & behavioral scientist, Brown U
Fired from a consulting position because her paper on
“Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” butthurt a few transgender activists, professionals, and academics.
A researcher found that parents claimed their teenage kids expressed transgender identification out of the blue. All hell broke loose. Science improved. Maybe.

Now this is just a tiny selection of the thousands of academics who have been fired, lost positions, been forced to retract papers, and received threats of violence and death because they dared to challenge the Holy Creed of the Gender Ideology Cult.
Academia is supposed to be a marketplace where ideas, no matter how controversial, are freely exchanged and debated with vigour. But it is rapidly becoming an echo chamber for trendy left liberal prgressives, a place where any dissent must be stamped on, and those who dissent crushed along with it.
