You're an absolute hero, Graham. To so many of us. Your courage, integrity & selflessness are an inspiration. ❤

Graham I am so sorry. But then again I recognise the pattern. Academics, who have less of an excuse than comedians, have been shamefully silent. My colleague and former phd supervisor, when I told him I had received death threats, said we should all be more accepting of trans lifestyles. Trans lifestyles for fucks sake

Some of the male staff at my uni don't even try to hide their contempt for women.

Ah! Your colleague is an Oxford graduate, obvs 😏

I assume Cambridge has also been infiltrated by the trans menace in that case 😉

It is worse than that. He is chair of international law. He just does not care, so he is willing to pretend to believe this bullshit.

This is something I know about academia after having studied at one of the three top UK universities for the study of Anglo-American Analytic philosophy (basically the study of Logic as applied to science and mathematics and language and politics). I have a deep respect for politicians who rose from the academic world to achieve prominence in politics, most notably, Harold Wilson (read about his academic superiority), but those who simply remain in academia and never try to raise their head above the parapet but all the time are subverting and controlling vulnerable teenage minds are the worst. They are usually to be found delivering political messages before a lecture (Example while at university I kept being told, by various academics, to demonstrate on the streets against various political policies of the time) Couple that with a pressure from the students union to accept that "old fuddy duddies are to be mistrusted and here's what you need to rebel against". It isn't just the academics at fault, in the UK the students union needs to be cut down to size too. Young minds are being delivered the politics of fools and are no longer being educated but taught what to think. Education should teach the skills to think, not what should be thought

this is a guy who once told me off because I used the word damn in an email to refer to some files.

Oh.. now this makes sense. He's one of 'those' types of males. Eugh. Sit down, shut up and do as your told little woman. Let the trans run rampant. Because I said so! EUGH.

Graham, I’m sure you know this already but what you’re doing is true bravery. If there weren’t people like you researching, reporting and clarifying it would be so much easier for the nut jobs to win. People around the world are talking about your work - this is proper global impact. Sounds like hard times at the moment but this is a long game and your work won’t be forgotten.

Graham, you are a hero to me. I've never said that to anyone before, but your standing up to this vicious onslaught is true heroism. I hope when the insanity of this time period is over, your name will feature prominently in the history books. Because of your bravery--and yes, because you are a man--others are beginning to notice and to say things and to have a little courage of their own. You could have ducked this whole thing, and you chose not to. Thank you.

You just said what I was going to write. Couldn't agree more!

Derek Trotter's avatar

You just know they're thinking : Fuck me! WHY did we target Glinner? He's not backing off! 😁

Damn straight he's not backing off kids! 😎 Furthermore he's proselytising thousands of the uninitiated who were sleeping at the wheel regarding child safeguarding and female erasure.

Happy days! 🍻

Watch the IT Crowd. It’s hilarious and brilliant. (I’m American, too, although technically a dual citizen with the UK).

I have yet to watch Father Ted, but can’t wait!

You're a star, Graham! Such a great ally to women.

Stéphane's avatar

You are such an inspiration. You and brave feminists gave me power to speak up. Keep at it. New GC are born every day by reading people like you. It happened to me. We will overcome this madness.

Thank You Graham for all that you have done, and continue to do.

thank you Graham!

Thank you so much, Graham, for all that you are doing.

Graham, it really can’t be said enough but you’re truly one in a million. It’s a shame that you NEED to be that one in a million though. Although there are the brave and relentlessly brave feminists there, It’s so disappointing that you don’t have countless big names - journalists, politicians and celebrities standing right beside you all. Even worse is that they know you’re right and this aggressive gender ideology has no basis in reality. They know it’s not real, but no-one wants to be the first to admit it. I wonder how many Graham’s and JKR’s it will take before the damn busts? The fingers are in the dyke but it’s definitely getting very squirty.

Another issue in Irish journalism is the interplay between journalism and politics. This week Colette Browne has taken up a communications role with the Social Democrats. She is on a long list of journalists turned political advisor. Which means, firstly, that journalists will be slow to criticise politicians who may give them a less precarious and better paid job. But more to the point, they won't pursue an issue like this which take on govt policy and bring them heat. Well done to Wayne O Connor. P.s. Rubberbandits are supposed to be intellectuals!

So sorry for all you've had to go through but so very glad you kept fighting. Your bravery gave me the courage to speak out and this site gives me the resources to back up my arguments - I'm 57, lifelong feminist and never thought I'd be arguing about why male sex offenders shouldn't be housed in women's prisons and why lesbians don't have dicks at this stage of my life!

Derek Trotter's avatar

That DEFINITELY wasn't in the small print when you signed up for the feminist cause! 😜

Gosh I so deeply hope he gets a brilliant article or more, together from all of this. Sincerely. Thank you again for all that you give. Immense gratitude!

You are amazing, Graham. Your forbearance is incredible, and whatever happens in the end, there are going to be children who have avoided a life time of drugs and unnecessary surgery because of your tenacity to tell the truth.

And Father Ted the musical sounds fantastic.

Thank you, Graham, you give me hope that we can get through this.
