As a gay man this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. What's even more worrying is the push for this sort of thing currently here in Ireland being championed by all the usual suspects.
I hope you won't mind, just a little about how I've gotten here. As a fully paid up leftie gay when I originally heard Graham had been banned from Twitter, I didn't pay much heed. He was a transphobe, hateful to the community, served him right. It was only when JK Rowling was getting cancelled that I began to take notice. Here was a woman who had told of her abuse getting told to die because she wrote what a woman was. I began to follow some of the women who had stood up for her and it peaked my interest but nothing more. But then I noticed that some of the accounts were getting suspended and banned. I may be male but I strongly support feminism. I started to follow more "Terf" accounts and found that far from the monsters I had been led to believe they were, they were actually making strong cogent arguments and the actual bullies were on the other side. Yet rather than ban the people calling for them to be raped and murdered, twitter was banning the women. And I began to wonder was Graham really the mad transphobe he was made out to be and that led me here.
I subscribed to the email and started to actually read and "follow the receipts" and it turned out that what he was saying was not only true he had devoted his life to standing up for women and safeguarding children and lost so much in the process. He had more in common with Emily Davison than the progressive feminists who are busily eroding all the hard won rights of women.
And not content with destroying the rights of women, the hard won rights of gay men and lesbian women are now being trampled on. And so few seem to see it. Yes there are some like James Dreyfuss but if others are aware of it they are too afraid to speak out for fear of being cancelled. It's horrendous. The woman in the Mr Gay England contest is an actual homophobe who spouts homophobic content yet is given a free pass by twitter. The guy who points it out is hounded off social media. Truly the world has gone mad. So here I am, now a paid subscriber. I've no idea how we can win this and shake the world back to it's senses. I despair at what is happening. Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get it off my chest but obviously couldn't on Twitter or Facebook.
It's appalling. I always enjoy Sheridan's thoughtful takes and disgusted he's been bullied off social media. I hope he knows how much support he has.
