And Suzanne Moore's comment underneath (can't remember if it was a reply or a related tweet) saying something along the lines that when she was at the Guardian journalists were forbidden from investigating anything to do with GIDS etc

Of course I know we were right! Just a reminder of the vilification she got for speaking up. And thanks to Mumsnet for giving us a voice.
I think Mumsnet has been great at drawing attention to this.

I came her because I'd heard about Mumsnet being a 'hotbed of transphobia' and thought that sounded a little strange. I suspect others (including the rich and famous) found their way here too. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that Emily Maitlis and JK Rowling read these boards.

Quietly vindicated.

BTW, her book the Ickabog might be a good Christmas present for kids around the age of 7. Sadly, I think my little relatives might be too young for it, but I would be considering it if they were older!

Much of FWR was too, so thanks to MNHQ for allowing us to have this space.
