Very sad to see the account that tweeted this informative thread no longer exists. People did not respect Jake's request not to respond to his thread. There have been some pretty abusive quote tweets. "Cancel culture" claims another victim. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1482365…
I would like to remind gender critical people that BOTH sides in this debate are fully entitled to hold and express their views on Twitter. The beliefs of people who disagree with you are every bit as protected under the Equality Act as yours.
There have been too many examples of gender-critical people piling on people for daring to say something they don't like, driving them into protected accounts or off Twitter. The fact that the behaviour of some trans rights supporters is also pretty bad does not excuse this.
I have personally been a target of abusive pile-ons from gender-critical people several times. Fortunately I'm made of tougher stuff than Jake. You aren't going to get rid of me that easily.
But I did have to protect my tweets for a while. In twelve years on Twitter, I have only had to do that three times. On the other two occasions, I was being attacked by the American far-right and a totally lunatic crypto cult, respectively.
Gender-critical people, do you really think behaving like the American far-right and the lunatic fringe of the crypto movement in any way helps your cause?
