Hi, Neil! I didn’t include my final line because I thought I’d already made my thoughts clear by calling you a misogynist ghoul. But I absolutely think you are a monster for glibly wishing permanent ill-health on a young woman. So I’ll say it again: You are a fucking monster.
What Neil describes as "unhinged" is lucid to me. Graham Linehan is entirely sane! I don't even know you personally, Graham, but I felt like swearing after reading what he said.
“Women are sex dolls you can’t use for one week a month…I don’t see what’s the use of having one…” did he just imply that menstruation is a universal experience of womanhood? That women and menstruation are, in fact, inextricably linked?
If this was meant to be a jab at cis women, is he saying trans women aren’t women? If it was just meant to be a jab at all women, is he saying he isn’t one, then, since he doesn’t menstruate?
Interesting slip 🧐
And Graham- I missed somehow in your earlier post that it was Neil Gaiman who started this by making your private emails public first on Twitter, to give the appearance of openly pitying you (concern troll contempt is more like it) to the world. That’s what’s contemptible. I had no idea.
I ran into it in the wild on Twitter…what a horrible man. I’m so sorry he’s defamed you this way.
I do think it’s true that under such strain- being widely canceled and reviled as a pariah for tirelessly defending women’s rights- anyone’s mental health would suffer. I hope you are looking after yourself.
It's harrowing how casually he brought up "If your daughter transitions one day..." as if that's just something to be expected, like "If your kids ever have kids..."
It shows that the average person is in lala land regarding how major and gruelling a transition is. I hope at some point soon there are non-biased documentaries that show how these poor young kids recovering from surgery, having to take extra meds for their thinning bones, their stunted growth, their inability to have sex, or children, the enormity of them realising they can't have children, the mountain of health problems you get from having a hysterectomy. People need to know what the ideology they support is doing to children.
I think they should be forced to look at photos and videos of the surgeries, the aftermath of the surgeries, the mutilated bodies. Because none of them want to see what they are supporting.
“Ghoul” exactly such a good descriptor. Don’t see the word in the news much but there are plenty of them about everywhere. 😂 I quite often meet people and say “hello how are you?” Whilst thinking “you’re a horrible ghoul” 😂.
I don't know Gaiman's history so I don't know his motivation. I DO know when you've been duped it's hard enough admitting to yourself you've been played, never mind to a watching audience when you've got a public profile.
Perhaps I'm being generous in my assessment (a rarity for me 😜) but maybe that's why Gaiman and the rest double-down and keep. On. Digging? A public admission that you've been hoodwinked by a malevolent, misogynistic cult is too much to countenance.
Never mind Graham you can join the apostle Paul...
"24 Now as Paul was saying these things in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice: “You are going out of your mind, Paul! Great learning is driving you out of your mind!”
25 But Paul said: “I am not going out of my mind, Your Excellency Festus, but I am speaking words of truth and of a sound mind. "
That Cursed fella is a piece of work. How can anyone support someone so clearly mentally unhinged?
Neil should totally date him.
Haha. Eloquently put Graham.
A 30 year old woman. 🤣
Aye right ye are.
I’m shocked that the Independent is giving a voice to such a revolting, immature, misogynistic individual.
What Neil describes as "unhinged" is lucid to me. Graham Linehan is entirely sane! I don't even know you personally, Graham, but I felt like swearing after reading what he said.
"Graham's trying to humiliate me!"
Dude, you're WAYYY ahead of him 😁

I am so disappointed in Neil Gaiman. But, in hindsignt, when I look back at American Gods the book - the misogyny should have been apparent.

Looks like Neil is enjoying this new freedom to support misogyny.
Cursed is the right word for him. I've put lots of curses on him. He is one disgusting man. Does he really work for The Independent?
"Targets?" And what exactly is he doing? Feckin cheeky twat (scuse ma french)
who's 'self-awareness' is being doubted? transactivists are really only kidding themselves, and the children who read their literature.
