Did anyone notice she mentioned the witch trials of jk Rowling was well balanced? It seems like that's quite a controversial thing to say seeing as anything remotely positive about jk must make you a transphobe.... All her work on menopause must mean she knows what a women is?

Davina seems to very much be supportive of trans women are women. Publicly at least. Whether she believes this privately or not who knows.

It's been weird so far.
Loads and loads of 'thank you. Well done. Don't back down' and 'they are going to come for you!'

One 'get in the bin' and two 'for fuck's sake'
And that's it.

It sort of makes the GC supporters look a bit mental!

(I'm sure that will change - and who knows what her DMs are going to look like)

C'mon Davina! Fact over fiction!

I saw it earlier today and am surprised it's still up!

Good on her

I'm interested to see, though, because Rev Richard Coles said the same a couple of months back and got a heap of 'this is so disappointing' tweets from TRAs. It rarely got worse than that, though.

They tend to go harder on women...

I think this is toe in the water time.

She hasn't actually stated any sort of position. I think she's always been very firmly TWAW in the past. She is not daft, though, she must know that the rainbow children are going to have a tantrum. She still has plausible deniability, though.

I'll be interested to see how it pans out. Even if she says nothing else, it will be a step forward if she just doesn't delete it or apologise.
