Echoing all the above - it's an excellent letter. Thank you to all the signatories you lovely people 💐💐💐

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 08/12/2018 08:21

good letter. and yes, good to see TRA tactics described as threats, harassment and intimidation. also good to see thew word sex used correctly.

boatyardblues · 08/12/2018 08:15

Good letter. Thank you all.

IStillMissBlockbuster · 08/12/2018 08:14

That is an amazing letter. The signatories even have normal boring age appropriate names! Love that we have Carols and Gillians rather than porny childish names.

greathat · 08/12/2018 08:13

That's brilliant

donquixotedelamancha · 08/12/2018 08:10

the letter implicitly links male violence with the TRA abuse dished out. God, this is one hell of a letter.

This. It's very strong.

stillathing · 08/12/2018 08:09

This is good. Thank you.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 08/12/2018 07:41

Fab letter, clearly outlines how women are being silenced

WomanLifeIsGoodish · 08/12/2018 07:22

Wow what a elegant letter. Thank you to all involved.

It is very brave of you - which shows what a disgusting state of affairs we are in that being moderate and rational is brave.

Stay off Twitter for a bit, at least until after the second coffee 😁

ICJump · 08/12/2018 06:59

Thanks! What a great letter.

WomanAndProud · 08/12/2018 06:51

That is a brilliant letter. I also will be reposting that and although I'm not on Twitter, support against the backlash it will attract. I'm also happy to see it printed in The Times.

deepwatersolo · 08/12/2018 06:39

Also, how the letter implicitly links male violence with the TRA abuse dished out.

God, this is one hell of a letter.

deepwatersolo · 08/12/2018 06:35

Excellent letter and big thanks to the signatories. (I love how the ‚we seek common ground with women...‘ passage elegantly dismisses the TWAW ideology without even going there).

Thedukes · 08/12/2018 06:20

Brave ladies to sign off on that letter. Good for you. Courage is a noble trait.

GoblinsAndGhouls · 08/12/2018 06:14

Thanks absolutely, because the current TRA approach of - males try to silence women's fears over male violence using male violence, and the fact it is being accepted generally, is appalling.

MickHucknallspinkpancakes · 08/12/2018 05:23

It was heartwarming to read this on twitter from Debbie. Thank you all Thanks

We can also support in return...the levels of bullying on Twitter about "Truscum", purposefully misgendering then when they've stated how they like to be addressed, personal nastiness etc are appalling and climbing.

If you are on Twitter and see it, keep reporting it. I've had replies that two of the nastiest have had their accounts suspended this week for hateful behaviour. (Don't know if that's permanent or not but it's definitely more than a 24hour ban)

Weezol · 08/12/2018 05:12

Thank you to all signatories for doing this (again!).

ContentiousOne · 08/12/2018 05:07

Thanks to the signatories.

Coyoacan · 08/12/2018 04:58

Thanks all of you. Much appreciated.

BlytheSpiritsSpirit · 08/12/2018 04:23

This is much appreciated, thanks to all on that list.

HumberElla · 08/12/2018 03:48

Great to see this.

BitOfFun · 08/12/2018 00:56

I'm so pleased to read this. From the few transsexual people I have known in real life, it does appear to chime with their attitude.
