Like so many here, I have been disheartened by the lack of support from so many famous men, those I liked and or admired are now and will forever be in my blacklist. Same for companies.
This whole experience has been so hard and I thank all the incredible women who carried on and spoke for us...
However, who are the men who were on our side? Andrew Neil? Piers Morgan? There aren't many but would love to hear some names of those who put women first...

David Bell
Az Hakeem

Dr AZ Hakeem is well worth watching on YouTube. He's just released a video.

He's been a consultant psychiatrist specialising in trans issues for over 20 years.

Those mentioned plus Francis Wheen, Nick Wallis, Robert Webb, Darren Johnson, John Armstrong, Ross Tucker, Sean Ingle, Irvine Welsh, Ricky Gervais.

extremely honourable mention for James Kirkup at The Spectator

Brendan O'Neil weirdly (did not see that coming)

WalterHWhite · 20/04/2025 19:52

I seem to remember Boy George rolling his eyes at women implying what a load of fuss just to go for a wee. Correct me if i’m wrong though. I went right off him!

I've never voted Conservative, but I have to give credit to the Tory MSPs (Russell Findlay, Murdo Fraser et al.) who have been the voice of reason in Scottish politics. No idea what they're like as people, but I admire their backbone, that so many others at Holyrood lack.

Ooh yes I remember David TC Davis being a really staunch supporter way back when.

Richard Garside
Michael Biggs
Ben Cooper KC
Justin Webb

Yes to all above. And Justin Webb was absolutely brilliant - especially as Nick Robison was utterly disgusting about it all. Will never forgive him.

I hope JK Rowling and all those wonderful women such as Rosie Duffield and Suzanne Moore and all the other brave, fabulous women have a really good shindig.

Feeling already heartened. Had forgotten many of the names because had left social media and retreated to small bubble (and the sanity of The Times and Mumsnet). Thank you to all men who stood up for us.

Richard Dreyfus, Marilyn

Good old Marilyn didn't let us down. I suspected that Boy George was on our side but didn't say anything.

This gets to me the hardest. I fought my own mother for gay men's rights - during the AIDS scare.
Only for women's problems to completely go above their heads when they could have spoken up.

Yes, it was really quite chilling, really. How much so many of them actually hated us.
