In the Times, quite prominently placed in the News section:

I hope there is a massive grovelling climbdown and public apology.

Poor Christian. He's a bloody founder of the company too.

It's socially unacceptable to state biological truth and/or speak out against medical experiments being conducted on children. How the fuck did this happen?

Damn I can't wait for this to go to court.
Fascist idiots.

I support Christian!

It is a very surprising strategy for spitfire to take, and I wonder who has advised them that it was a good idea?

Just goes to show that, although we here at mumsnet are well aware of what is going on, in the wider world people just aren't aware of the harms being done in the name of this ideology and the way people are being silenced.

Do you think the spitfire CEO had heard of Forstater and Bailey before he tweeted out? Do you think he has now?

He has now, as JK pointed him in that direction!

Good explanations too. They could have made it a little clearer that transwomen are male though. There may still be people who don't know that.

Hope he sues using Forstater ruling
