All of those things and then some have happened to me in the last month because of my film. But if I had backed down and crumbled to the trans activists, I'd deserve to be scorned for it. Cowardice is what empowers these people. Nothing will ever improve until people stop caving.

Endless death and rape threats, threats of loss of livelihood, employers targeted, physical harassment, family address posted online with picture of bomb-making manual aren't 'mean comments'. If you don't yet understand what happens to women who stand up on this issue, back off. twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/…

I respect the courage you've shown on this issue,

@jk_rowling

. But many people have simply caved to the demands of trans activists and completely surrendered truth and reality to them. The cowards are also villains in this story. They need to be held accountable.

And your film did a good job exposing the incoherence of gender identity theory and some of the harms it's done. Many institutions I used to admire have uncritically embraced this dogma, but I reserve my ire for them rather than shouting 'coward' at individual women.

I read a tweet the other day: if you have to put “trans” in front of the word women, you aren’t a real woman…

So don't put trans. Say woman and leave it at that.

I agree that they deserve the lion’s share of the blame. And I do have a lot of sympathy for young women in particular who don’t have platforms or power and are descended upon by the trans mob. But Macy Gray is a famous singer. Her cave was particularly gratuitous in my opinion.

I don't think we encourage bravery by telling someone they are a coward. And I'm guilty of this as well. Instead i think we better help people become courageous by being courageous ourselves.

Well done J. K. And Matt. We are all on the same side. Let’s focus on the opponent more than cross words at each other. We all need to stand up against these tyrants.

Matt isnt on our side. He wants to to a time when women were the property of men.
