William - you are right to feel angry. They are playing at being women but women can’t self id out of breast cancer. It’s getting beyond words how callous and self absorbed these people truly are.

That just broke my heart. If you're reading this William, I'm so so sorry. People like Katy are incapable of empathy and with every insensitive word they spew, show time and time again, how vile and thoughtless they are. As someone currently suffering from cancer, this makes me unbelievably sad and angry beyond belief.

How heartbreaking. Sending my love to William.

They only ever think about themselves.

The narcissism is always deafening with KM 🤮

And all TRAs tbf, I think it’s a requirement 🤷‍♀️

I’ll never forget the "I want to be the first transwoman with a womb transplant to get an abortion" 🤯

Jesus William. Heart goes out to you. No words for that. Thinking of you and your family.

😢 just more minimising and insensitivity. Marginalising women and those that DO love them by insensitive misogynists and their fellow sociopaths. Sickening attitudes and erasure of women’s pain, suffering and even death because that’s all meant to be invisible. There is no coming back from that level insensitivity, ignorance and cruelty. Which is what it is.

Heartbreaking. Sending love to that family and to anyone affected by cancer. As if it’s not difficult enough without this kind of nonsense being banded about by people with toxic egos.

💐 for William and his family.

Sadly, boundaries of decency and respect are ignored with TRAs. It seems to be a theme though, not respecting boundaries.

One of the reasons I respect you Graham is that you are prepared to disagree with allies, including to their face eg Fair Cop, and explain why rather than insult. I may be wrong but I haven’t seen TRAs even politely call out the extremists like KM, JY etc. I find it disturbing that blue tick twitter personalities don’t seem prepared to draw a line when there is incredibly offensive hijacking by TRAs of FEMALE issues like endometriosis / miscarriage / abortion. I am happy to be proved wrong - in my old fashioned way I cleave to facts 🙄😂 as I don’t know how otherwise we can navigate through important ethical / political issues.

My sincere condolences, William, to you and your children. How heartbreaking for you all.

And while it is true that a few men have been known to get breast cancer, it's vanishingly rare and therefore mass mammogram testing is unnecessary. The hateful Katie and his womb envy doesn't need a smear test either, what with him having a 🍆 and balls rather than a cervix!

So sorry William that this has added to what must already be so hard for you and your children to bear. These people should read Caroline Criado Perez's 'Invisible Women' to get perspective (fat chance I know) on why statistics about women's health issues have not been collected - as the 'norm' has been assumed male. Scientific fact would alter treatment for many conditions/diseases, including Covid, when we understand women's bodies react differently to men's. It's an astonishing irrationality to ignore this, and now the gender fluids are compounding this inequality by reinforcing the pretence that their bodies should be regarded as the same as us.

Thank you for sharing William xxxx Another ridiculous result of the census is that women's health provision might get reduced because of the overrepresentation of women stating they are men.

Oops, thanks for reminder, haven’t done it yet - put it off yesterday as didn’t want to get annoyed about the gender question! 😂

So sorry for you William. But try not to care what shit these narcissistic freaks spew up. Unlike your standard narcissist, they don't even bother to mimic empathy. It's one of the main causes for getting folks to hit #peaktrans. It was a narcissistic trans activist who peaked me (a former trans ally) - I properly lost my shit with the hairy-arsed bastard and now I'm a real gobby terf working hard on spreading the word and peaking others, as well as giving and receiving support to and from closet and vocal terfs. So he did womankind a favour, and didn't just shoot himself in the foot, he blasted off his leg with a 12 bore. I was angry back then, now I'm even angrier, plus bold and determined.

That’s the saddest letter

I’ve read. How awful to live through that nightmare. And William is of course right to be angry. These self absorbed fools are tone deaf to anyone’s feelings but their own fantasy nonsense. Horrible hateful people.

Well said William. Your anger is more than justified.

I’m so sorry to hear about your terrible experience William and understand the anger you’re feeling. I lost my beautiful sister to breast cancer in 2015. She went through so much. It is a terrible disease and it’s beyond comprehension this guy has tried to appropriate women’s experience of this.
