Instead of welcoming the initiative of the organisers of inviting Islam to speak at a women’s career event, NSU authorities silenced marginalised voices and also crippled the alliance between cis women and gender-diverse individuals. Unknowingly, this gave sustenance to cisterarchy, too as if only cis women were allowed to speak on behalf of cis women.
NSU boasts the privilege and responsibility of educating more than 22,000 students. Hence, it is quite incredulous that they were not confident they could have ensured the safety of just one person on their premises.
