Famous undeclared GC people?

Robert Webb is fairly open.
Kate Long (author of The Bad Mothers Handbook), not a major celeb but very GC.

Grayson Perry's- posted a pic of himself in the gents, wearing a dress. YY to boy George too. Sure Robert Webb wrote an article a year or two back and was hammered for it. @giagia is fab

I think Russell Howard from the material in his shows Ive seen. Not seen anything on social media though

And I'm bisexual vix

Which is strange to me as I've only ever been attracted to men. That umbrella sure is an interesting thing.

I am trans under the trans umbrella. It is a very big umbrella...

Grayson Perry says quite categorically that he is not trans. But, the Stonewall umbrella says he that he is.

Not heard him comment on that imposition on his autonomy.

No one wants the flack and abuse. Women in particular are scared, with good reason, of violence.
Graham Linehan has been extremely brave in speaking out for women, he could so easily have stayed quiet.
I have huge respect for those who have stuck their heads above the parapet. I am very vocal on this in real life, but much less so on twitter, because I know if I started to get threats , I would find it overwhelmingly stressful.

Mary Beard is also staying very quiet.

I thought that too. Also Marina Hyde.

Thanks for the article. Agree with your observations.

Just as a disclaimer to 'offended' tourist MNetters, Hislop has not said he is GC in tweets, but if you read Private Eye (esp its satirical take on Gulags) I think you'll see that they get this.

They see you. Yes you with your threats and gagging orders.

Ian Hislop is an interesting one. I thought the fact he picked a pussy hat for the BM exhibition on dissent was deliberate. He's going to have heard of all the batshittery surrounding the hats.

Are the TRA's going to picket the BM cos this hurt their feelz? Come on Bergdorf... surely you've got an opinion on how exclusionary this is.

Ian Hislop

Thanks. I need to look for that clip...

On that note, there is also Julia Hartley Brewer and Nick Ferari from the famous "there are angry women, Nick" interview where a man who wears frilly knickers every Tuesday tried to categorise women.

Anne Hegarty (to Paris Lees)

And on that note - Matthew Wright

There's Beatrix Campbell too.

Katie Hopkins.

I wonder what Esther Rantzen thinks about transing children, given her work with Childline.

This train of thought led me to strong, no nonsense women from my childhood like Anne Robinson and Janet Street Porter. O refuse to believe they buy this cock and bull.

Didn't one of the chasers off The Chase say "you used to be a man" to a trans contestant?

*Mary Beard is also staying very quiet.
And tbf, I don't blame her”

I vaguely remembered Mary being GC and being targeted, so I googled and found this....

This is from 2015! This silencing has been going on for years and it’s still bloody happening. I think the only consolation is that they haven’t fully susceeded in silencing us, yet!

Just catching up.

Prof Alice Roberts - definitely spoke out against gendered brains in a bbc documentary with Michael Mosley. Where that leaves her in real life I'm not sure. She certainly knows a lot about sexing skeletons and how the homosapien female pelvis allowed for bigger brains etc.

I think Richard O'Brien who brought us the original Sweet Transvestite is GC too.

Richard O'Brien suffered quite the backlash a few years ago when he stated he could never fully be a woman.

So people can be sacked by their employers for expressing perfectly reasonable, rational points of view?

I wonder how that would hold up in an employment tribunal.

Daisy Lowe and I think possibly Maxine Peake might have posted something supportive about the adult human female posters but then deleted what they’d said. Might have that wrong though.

Individually they are vulnerable.

But if every GC celebrity, CEO, MP, Editor, sports player, came out at the same time then there would be strength in numbers.

Thinking back, I’m pretty sure Brian Cox’s joke was a response to attacks on his wife.

Wasn’t she a signatory on a letter asking for honest debate, or something equally heinous?

Couldn't remember her name but she's Gia Milinovich.

Prof Brian Cox's wife is openly GC, she RTs Magdalen Burns. Duncan Bannantyne tweeted about changing rooms.
I'd love Peter Kay to do a sketch on TRA.

The people I think who need to speak up are the big names/leaders in health, social care and education. They work with the vulnerable day in day out and understand safeguarding.
