A few weeks ago, Graham Linehan accused me of “grooming” my students. Twitter forced him to take down that baseless accusation. Today, they suspended his account.
I’m likely to remain angry at this man for a while. He caused a lot of pain to me, to people I love, and to the community. But he is also, very clearly, quite unwell. Trans issues have been a compulsive obsession for him. His obsession has taken a lot from him.
I hope he gets the help he needs. I hope he has some honest friends able to speak honestly with him. I hope he leaves trans people alone from now on. And I hope that the vicious bigots that held him up for so long—a genocidal ideology—know that they’re next.
I’m really not trying to be gracious! I am very, very angry at the mess I had to clear up because of this man smearing his fantasies all over my life. I’m just aware that he is merely the easiest type of bigot to dismiss: we have tougher battles ahead.
Go on then, since I’m in a celebratory mood, let me thank all those bitches and hos who helped me through the thicket a few weeks ago: @daniel_m_lavery, Cliff Mak, Beth Freeman, @KristinGrogan, @morganmpage, @isaac_fellman, @mini_mia, @Sharronapearl, Nicole Cliffe, @hooleil...
... @carmenmmachado, Mat Paskins, @julierosebower, @SianGrieve, @laurabunt, Judith Butler, Helena Goundry Butler, @PDabashi, @lavacakezz, Taryn Moore, and @DearSplenda. You helped me through some TIMES. This was our sign, and we will forever by the fellowship of the shrimp: 🦐🦐🦐
Do you really not know, or is this an attempt to start insinuating something?
*sigh* there appear to be a few trolls picking up where Linehan left off in the thread. i’d be grateful if others could block and report. and to would-be trolls: THINK about what you are doing. cruelty is not an adaptive social mechanism!
