I could have sworn I saw a thread on this but can't find it now. Anyway, Unherd have a new article today by her detailing the whole sorry saga.

(You get a few free articles per month, or try an archive site, if you need to work around a paywall)

It's so dispiritingly similar to what went on with Hadley Freeman and Suzanne Moore that you can almost sub in the Guardian for the Age and the UK for Australia, BBC for ABC, and it's the same story.

She says that she had written about contentious issues like 9/11 and the Iraq war, and come through unscathed (I think Helen Joyce has also said that nothing else she covered ever had the tinderbox sensitivity that gender issues do).

Julie - I hope you find your way to this board. Solidarity!

Wow I had no idea. Thanks for posting.

It's quite the tale, isn't it? Normal journalistic curiosity on this issue has been ruthlessly squashed by activists - and the people who are afraid of them, and this has happened right across the anglophone world. Scary.
