Oxford University biggest funder of anti-trans group
OXFORD University has paid a £20,000 consultancy fee to a women s rights group accused of being anti-transgender , making the university the biggest single financial supporter of the group. The money was paid to Woman s Place UK earlier this year for its support research into women’s sex based rights as part of a new research programme announced in September.
