Dominic Berry (LSE) once again threatening gender critical feminists

When we last heard from Dr. Berry, he was busy severing Twitter ties (seriously) with anyone who was merely "following" Nigel Warburton on Twitter–Warburton's "thought crime" had been including philosopher Kathleen Stock (Sussex) on his podcast.  That was comical, rather than alarming, although more concerning was his threat to not tolerate gender critical feminists in his workplace.

And now a reader points out to me that he's doing it again, this time threatening to make gender critical feminists unwelcome in philosophy of science.  Amazing.  Will philosophers of science tolerate this kind of behavior I wonder?

Berry threat may 23 2021

UPDATE:   A reader calls to my attention that Lewis Powell (Buffalo)–aka, "the smear merchant," as he's known on social media–has actually come to the defense of Dr. Berry, with the curious suggestion that describing his post, above, as "threatening gender critical feminists" defames Dr. Berry.  Good luck with that theory of the case!
