This person writes books for doctor who and the 'fandom' has put pressure on BBC to remove him from a book of short stories due to his transphobic tweets.

What really interests me is the huge amount of support he has received rather than the usual twitter stream of misogynistic GIFs that women get.

Totally. Probably one of the reasons I so disliked the most recent series was the writer's over egged commitment to taking every possible zing of peril or danger from the stories or the portrayal of the Doctor.

Every single episode replete with numerous cheery announcements about her best friends to the point I was crossing my fingers for a swift extermination incident on New Years Day that never came, sadly.
