Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. I'm ok. Harry Miller has been alerted, and a few other people. It's pure harassment but another lovely overreach by TRAs.

And yet when I rang 999 on Saturday night Norwich police were too busy to come out. Should've said there was an offended misogynist on the loose.

I stand with you Graham. I've said it before and I'll say it again, what the police are doing entertaining these witch hunts is beyond me. They tell us they don't have the resources to actually deal with appalling and dangerous driving or actual crime effectively, but they have it for rainbow shields and so-called "hate crimes" where they are simply used by TRAs as a tool of harassment.

God, Graham! The shit you have to put up with from these fuckwits. God's strength to you and all the best.

Standing with you, Graham - it’s disgusting how much public money is being wasted like this. I can’t think what’s happened - has some nutter reported you in NI? For what?

It’s all ridiculous. They’re happy to harass you whilst round here they’ve closed the police stations and haven’t got the resources to investigate crime.

FFS, but also, this shows yet again these people have no arguments, only thuggery. Also, as a Policeman's daughter I am ashamed, totally ashamed of them for pandering to these people and not spending time on actual fucking crimes.

Good on you, Graham. Will you get an email I wonder? I am forever stunned by such a gross misuse of Police time. It's hard enough to get them to come out for an actual domestic violence attack, and then they just condescend the victim when they arrive 7 hours later.

Unreal. This must take a lot out of you. There are lots of us who will help where we can, though. Don't be afraid to ask.

View this as a tremendous opportunity! Take full advantage of it!

It takes monumental entitlement, arrogance and selfishness to abuse scant police resources in this way. By all means, if you feel physically threatened in that moment, call the police, but using them as a weapon to further an ideology shows your argument is dead. This is NOT what hate crime legislation was intended for and it’s an insult to those who have experienced genuine hate and violence. The first politician who has the balls to publicly stand against this gets my vote for life. I’m sorry and sickened that you have to live like this, Graham.

Graham I find it astonishing that the PSNI have time to waste following up and involving your local police because someone's feelings are hurt, considering sexual assaults/rapes in NI has more than doubled in the past 20 years. If we were in any doubt how little women are thought of this is just another example of what the police are prioritising.

You are obviously hitting a raw nerve with the pronoun brigade. You are doing a great job. Thank you.

Every time I see the police with blues and twos now all I can think of is “wonder who’s getting nicked for not using pronouns” 🙄

Honest to fuck, this useless sodding government have got to sort this shit out.

Hurty words are a civil matter, if they’re a matter at all, when it comes to gender woo.

Fucking witchfinders.

Just subscribed. I've been utterly gob-smacked watching this gender ideology cult unfold, and I keep expecting it to fall apart as meets reality, but it doesn't. I'm extremely grateful to Graham for his principled stand amid the almost total collapse of mainstream journalistic and political engagement with this issue.
