Brilliant letter. Claps all round! Now if only one could be printed on a billboard and signed by everyone in society...

A perfect letter. Clear-thinking and respectful. I want the whole world to read it.

If Dave is on here, my condolences on the tragically early death of Rachel. The Fawcett Society won't answer him because there are no answers that make any sense. Apart from 'sorry, we got it wrong' but they aren't going to do that now, are they?

Excellent letter Dave Ward. Full of common sense. How can the Fawcett Society possibly call this bigoted? I agree with everthing he says. So, I am sure, would the majority of the population if we were not being silenced by.... YES... Bigots!

Wonderful letter Dave. Considered, polite and full of common sense. Why can't these captured organisations conduct themselves similarly...?

Bravo! Love that Dave uses "men who", "he", "male" and "men" throughout, rather than any *T*erminolgy that would class these crossdressing pervs as any kind of woman. Dare one hope that this might just be the beginning of the end? 👏💪🙏👊

YES! All the issues succinctly and perfectly expressed. Do you think Dave Ward would mind if I plagiarise large chunks of it for the next time I write to yet another TRA-captured organisation/politician?

Great letter. Shameful that the world has come to this though.

You might have got the name wrong Graham, oops, but thank you so much for all you are doing to get the "real" world right on this issue and giving Mr Ward's brilliant , and considered, -letter a platform for a hearing from which it will hopefully spread like - well you know - let's all get behind that......

The Fawcett Society are getting ratioed on the bird thing.

Best suggestion so far is that as they no longer represent the aims of their founder, they should rename themselves the Mrs Humphrey Ward society.

She was a very successful novelist who campaigned against women’s rights. She spent a fortune on getting her son into Parliament, which she believed she should not be represented in.

You folks in the U.K. have much to be proud of! You guys know how to stand proud. You inspire me to try to do the same here in the US.
