Germund Hesslow is professor of neurophysiology in Lund, in Sweden, and is also under investigation for claiming that there are biological differences between males and females. Not only that: when he was invited to immediately withdraw these "transphobic" and "anti-feminist" statements he refused to back down. The crime took place during a lesson of his course “Heritage and Environment”, during which Hesslow cited a study according to which the differences between men and women are "biologically based", therefore both genders cannot be considered as "only social constructs".
THE WRATH OF THE STUDENTS
Accused by students of having made statements incompatible with the “value base” Swedish (which requires all schools in the country to adhere to a common ethics policy, which includes values such as egalitarianism, individual freedom and gender equality), the professor was asked by the University leaders to apologize publicly. At that point Hesslow turned to Academic Rights Watch (founded to monitor attempts to limit the fundamental rights of teachers and researchers) with the doubt that someone wanted to remove it from its course.
According to the Arw, the professor's problems began when a student sent an email to another university professor complaining: «Because we can't have a teacher with the right skills on the topic?». She believes that biological differences and genetic theory are outside of the professor's teaching areas and that it would be more appropriate for students to attend lectures on what women have endured for hundreds of years in the name of medical science., from genital mutilations to forced lobotomies. He also believes that Hesslow expressed himself in a "transphobic" way when he said "changing sex is a trend". A scandalous statement, which in addition to offending students who are perhaps already subject to transphobia, could influence behavior towards transgenders who are already adding to the statistics on suicides and so on.
