![]() Stock was born in Aberdeen and raised in Montrose, Scotland the daughter of English academics at Aberdeen University, a philosophy lecturer and a newspaper proofreader. This came after a student campaign took place calling for her dismissal and the faculty trade union accused the university of "institutional transphobia." A group of over 200 academic philosophers from the UK signed an open letter in support of Stock's academic freedom. In October 2021, she resigned from the University of Sussex. In December 2020, she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in recognition of services to higher education, a decision which was subsequently criticised by a group of over 600 academic philosophers who argued that Stock's "harmful rhetoric" contributed to the marginalisation of transgender people. Her views on transgender rights and gender identity have become a contentious issue. She has published academic work on aesthetics, fiction, imagination, sexual objectification, and sexual orientation. She was a professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex until 2021. Kathleen Mary Linn Stock OBE is a British philosopher and writer. ![]()
