Btw I hate tweeting about this. Mostly because I think it is deeply shameful. The bullying of a marginalised group, their families & allies and the part the book industry played in it. (And those who stood by in silence).

I genuinely believe that the gender critical lobby is an active and aggressive part of the growing right-wing. Nothing confirms this to me more than watching authors who have been radicalised hate-tweeting 24/7. Extraordinary thing to observe.

This is a truly shameful thing to watch. Relentless campaign to try to oust Joanne from her position at the SoA.

I have now received a full apology from the Chief Editor and Editorial Board who do not contest any of the facts I stated in my letter. The Guest Editor was unwilling to offer a full apology and has resigned from the Editorial Board. It's taken 18 months all told.

Dear Keir Starmer
You may be under the impression that the only way to win cis women's votes is to pander to transphobes on Mumsnet. However, I'm a cis woman, and my vote depends on you not throwing trans women under the bus. I'm not alone in that

I’m also on @bereal_app which I love because I have about 10 friends there. For anyone who doesn’t know it - you take one photo each day - your face and wherever you are and when you post it you can see that day’s photo of your friends too. It’s beautifully simple.

Hello Twitter 🙋🏽‍♀️

I’ve been seeing so much negativity towards immigrants lately and it’s gotten very upsetting

I’m trying to remind myself that not everyone in the U.K. (my home) holds those views towards immigrants like me

Can you give me a wave 👋🏾 if you agree?

I’ve been waiting to shout about this book for ages!
A gay YA novel from the master of the genre. And just look at that cover! 🤩
