Boycott, and I can't stress this enough ....

This GC book!, says a TRA, tagging the Oxford University Press, that bastion of critical thinking that is, you know, doing the job that an academic press should be doing.

Que a plethora of replies, memes of book-burning etc. The best responses are those saying they hadn't seen the book but thanks for the free advertising, and posting THANKS FOR YOUR ORDER screenshots from the OUP.

Fantastic own goal, but to see these overwhelmingly pro-GC, hell, even pro-free speech responses even on captured Twitter is quite a turnaround. Perhaps after all Emily Bridges, Lia Thompson and Kier Starmer have shone more sunlight on this than even they anticipated!

In the meantime I'm watching the replies roll out with popcorn in hand. Truly top-notch entertainment!

PS. I've ordered it.

Que? I'm not bloody Manuel. I meant, 'CUE'.

D'oh.

Protected tweets.

Tables have definitely turned. Two years ago the OUP might have pulled the book.

Cant see the tweet as account holder is limiting access

So people who disagree are buying the book to burn? Seems logical

Blocked from the feed! Bloody blocked! So can't see it!

Yes I saw this earlier on twitter too (before he protected his tweets from view).

I was heartened by the vast majority of responses to the original tweeter which are deriding his book-burning approach.

I've also added the book to my pre-order list. Looks interesting.

Ooh that's interesting. Here are a few choice responses ...

The replies made me laugh!

The replies that made it through the blockade are amusing.

Daft sod!

I saw this.what a cock.

Oh, that looks good. Thanks, Jean-Thomas Tremblay. Added to my list.

is it this one?

cant see the picture that well, if so its out on the 12 of may, I've added it to the list and will be looking into it then.

Yes that's it

Just as an aside Trans was 99p on amazon yesterday, not sure if its usually that price. Have ordered it to have a more reasoned discussion with 17 year old dd.

Scrolling through that twitter thread has alerted me to the fact that I must be on a TERF-blocker list. How invigorating!

I’ve bought a copy direct from OUP as I think it’s important they see the advanced orders now. Thanks!

Holly Lawford-Smith’s “Gender-Critical Feminism” is now on my shopping list. Thanks for the tip-off, Maribel and of course Mr Tremblay.

Mariel. Not Maribel. I’ve never even heard of anyone called Maribel, but that’s what my iPad keeps insisting on.

One thing I'm struggling to get over is how, and I can't stress this enough, odd it is to see someone using "I can't stress this enough" without attaching it to, and I can't stress this enough, anything.

Unless he wan't to stress Oxford University Press for some reason?

@veronicagoldberg if you can't see a lot of the tweets (this author has protected who can see their tweets) does that mean you're on a Terf blocker? If so I appear to have been blocked

Ooh, thanks, NotAGirl!

This is Mx Tremblay's own magnum opus. I have a degree in English from Cambridge and I can confidently assert that it is utter bollocks.
