Fucking yes!!

Presumably just waiting till her last Woman's Hour was safely out.

I doubt we've heard the last from her!

Here's another interesting one 'Peter Boghossian (philosopher, writer, persona non grata)'

Perhaps that may make the atheist/skeptic boys clubs have a think?

Yay Jenni Murray!!!!

Also, 14k.

I would have thought everyone in that circle would be in. James Lindsay said "I'm in" on Twitter, but hasn't made it to the page.

Just spotted author Richard K Morgan's joined - he's one of the few "media" men who stuck his neck out enough to get banned from Twitter over it, faster than Glinner did.

Signed

I love that Jenni Murray is now the first on the list of signatures.

It is lovely to think of all the others holding our hands. I am the only person in the Uk with my name, sometimes on petitions I have used my maiden name, but I am tired of feeling bullied into hiding.

Sadly probably not. The atheist/skeptic groups had their woke takeovers a long time ago and they've already problematised Boghossian out the wazoo.

Ophelia Benson is another New Atheist exile that got the boot for disagreeing with TWAW.

I've got a unique name too, my fault for taking DHs surname instead of keeping my common as muck original. I did use it for this - it's hardly likely to be noticed among thousands. I signed the woman's declaration with a matrilineal pseudonym, which seems like a valid enough thing to claim.

Ophelia Benson is another exile who signed the letter, I should have said.

I wish Magdalen was here to see this. God bless you, Magdalen

Hear hear. When she said in her video (to paraphrase badly) “why not try expanding the definition of men”—that was it for me.

Just me and my MIL with our surname in the UK. I signed .
I’m tired of correcting resources and explaining to pupils the difference between sex and gender.

I used my real name, for the first time. Had to think carefully, but (ashamed to say) I concluded a statement against misogyny and bullying is slightly safer than coming out as full GC.

Not proud of that.

It is terrible to see how many of us did feel worried about adding our real names to a perfectly reasonable and decent petition in support of another woman.

During the McCarthyist era people in the US felt the same way. But that era ended and this must end one day, too.
