I have been asked to preserve this thread as a substack post for the probably inevitable time when I am banned from Twitter again. What started as a quick riposte to one of the innumerable anonymous and abusive accounts, morphed over the course of the day to a list of staggering magnitude of all the reasons to be cheerful in what can seem like a very long and gloomy struggle to restore sense, courtesy and the rule of law to discussions about sex and gender. I have aimed to tidy up and include some of the more serious omissions. And I am well aware that even after a day of effort, I have missed people off who ought to be here; I am sorry for that - it is a failure of my memory, not a negative comment on your efforts.
And sincere thanks to you, for being fearless in testing the way the police are interpreting the law.
Thank you xx
