This a tale of inexplicable viciousness, bitterness and rage. I want you to look at this picture. Look at these individual drawings.
And more - some extreme projection here in this tweet (still targeting Rooney's book), given how much kids are currently being indoctrinated with gender ideology.
Vulliamy's campaign against the book continued. See these tweets from 2020.
The levels of irony in that last tweet are off the scale. This is someone going out of her way to ensure that a book is not seen or read and that an author is ruined. But all done under this facade of being 'kind'.
And 2021:
Yes, what WAS that about cancel culture, Clara?
Had Vulliamy even read the text of My Body Is Me when she began her vicious campaign in December 2019 that effectively caused Rooney to leave publishing? I somehow doubt it. Or had Vulliamy read the book and felt terribly threatened by it, for some reason? I have no idea.
But anyone who reads My Body Is Me ought to be able to see that what Vulliamy did was entirely unmerited and appalling. People need to see it for what it was. It was a vicious, bullying, unwarranted attack on a lovely little book. Vulliamy ought to be ashamed.
I hope this thread throws light on what actually happened because Rooney has come under attack again in the past week. I hope the thread shows Vulliamy & her co-conspirators within children's publishing for what she is and what they are. Watch this space.
Here's Frank. Bless.
Here's Layla. Go Layla.
Here's Milo. Sweet.
And Jasmine...
Such fabulous gender non-conformity. Hurrah! Such diversity. You'd think that someone who claims to be in favour of gender non-conformity and diversity would champion a book like this. But for some reason that's not what Vulliamy did. She trashed it. 🤔
Milo reminds me of someone...
WITHOUT EVEN READING IT.
@SimonGwynn @mrssomerset Mate, it's not like this is some big legitimate organisation. They had to move to SPAIN in order to carry on doing what they were doing - but the authorities still caught up with them.
@SimonGwynn @mrssomerset Seriously mate, do some more research into this stuff. You've been duped by snake-oil salespersons.
@SimonGwynn @mrssomerset No comeback for that, then?
@SimonGwynn @mrssomerset But, on reflection, I have no doubt that you're also a misogynist because the only men who argue endlessly about this stuff really hate women.
@SimonGwynn @mrssomerset The truth is, you clearly demonstrated that you know nothing by sharing that Webberley article. The discussion should have stopped there with this GIF
@marlathedoctor @Transgendertrd @Michael_AW77 @SimonGwynn @Blakey_Is_Back_ @LizzieCornish12 @mrssomerset But not all of them, it would seem!
