Famous undeclared GC people?

I think with politicians there is something of a justification. I feel very certain that plenty of MPs are working behind the scenes on this but feel that their efforts would be undermined by going hugely public. I think it's true that a lot of work can be done quietly - after all they are legislators, and will feel that they will stand up when it matters, at the vote.

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

Given the track record so far, @Glinner has found himself in trouble with the police, and Alison Moyet was hounded into backing out and leaving Twitter. People at universities are obviously at risk of losing their jobs. A few celebrities have enough money that they no longer need to earn, but many others probably fear a big drop in income as there are massive tax bills to be met and bills to be paid.

There are still too few “out” for safety in numbers. And probably still many who are wondering what all the fuss is about.

It’s the cowardice and ignorance of politicians that has really shocked me.

I agree about JK Rowling. I suspected it long before she started "liking" GC tweets. I noticed that she would frequently call out racism, misogyny, homophobia, classism, etc. online, but always stayed quiet about trans issues. That was very telling.

I think Brian Cox made some mild joke about how when he was a lad cis and trans referred to isomers and then suffered a pile on and withdrew.

I'm sure I've seen Richard Dawkins comment on it once too, can't remember what exactly but it was on the rational science-based side

Dawkins is getting on a bit and his health isn’t too good. He had a stroke last year. He might touch on the subject in passing but I don’t think he wants to pick a new fight at this late stage in his career.

I’d like to hear Prof Alice Roberts or Nessa Carey speak up.

Carey’s possibly not a household name but as a science writer (she’s written on epigenetics) and a lesbian she has some skin in the game.

I think it's fine to discuss and, where appropriate express disappointment. And anything which is clearly already out there in the public domain, well, that's not going to 'out' anyone.

Regardless of whether she's GC or not, that's a jolly good tweet from Saunders!

An artist called Nina Edge got sacked from a uni for tweets a couple of days ago, after a few hours' campaign against her. Who would put their head above parapet?

Hannah Gadsby?

Might be clutching at straws, but this was the Jennifer tweet. jennifer saunders (@ferrifrump) Tweeted:
Dear @BBCNews please note how many times ‘women’ and ‘girls ‘ and ‘victims’ are mentioned and at no point the word ‘man’ or ‘men’ . Who is doing the harassment? t.co/kczNPFCaXC twitter.com/ferrifrump/status/1054643895756378112?s=17

I'd hope Jennifer Saunders. She posted something the other day to do with feminism and it gave me a hint. By proxy I hope that Dawn French, Kathy Burke (friends with James Dreyfus) and Lumley might be).

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

I've given up on Caitlin Moran, Grace Dent, Sharon Horgan and co.

If JK spoke out, maybe Emma Watson would re-think her naivety.

FGS don’t ‘out’ any of them! I think if they are liking GC posts they are preparing themselves and doing watchful waiting. It’s up to them when they weigh in.

From the Me Too think I think we should have learnt how difficult it. An be to speak out against the tide witness lots of people being blamed for not saying what had happened to them earlier. I know it’s not quite as personal but nevertheless ...

I'm interested in the thoughts of people like Malala. I'm sure she gets it, and she's obviously very brave too, yet she hasn't said anything either way I think?

I think she'd be wise to stay well out of what might seem to her a very first-world problem. I think she's going to be too important a campaigner on education for all children including girls worldwide to be wounded in a twitter war re gender in the West. Afghanistan is shutting down girls education again ... I'd much rather she was thinking about that tbh.

I was just going to ask about Jo Brand! That's good to read, I think she's fab.

Jo Brand. She stuck up for Germaine Greer.

Do Piers Morgan and Katie Hopkins count? 

Philip Pullman recently tweeted about it, but didn't declare any sort of side from what I can remember

I have seen Amanda Abbington tweet something that was Verging on GC and I would be very very surprised if Caitlin Moran wasn't also.

India Knight and Marina O'Loughlin... Both tentatively declaring themselves (this was after the "womxn" row last month)

Look at what happened to Alison Moyet - it’s a big risk to go against accepted left wing views now. Think Boy George is on Terfblocker. JK Rowling has liked some GC comments. She posts a lot about left wing anti-semitism too. As does Boy George as he refused to boycott Israel in his tour.

The He for She campaign was a roll my eyes moment and it' certainly died a death post MeToo.

I honestly don't believe that ANY celebrity believes that TWAW.
