In the past 24 hrs I've heard of 2 people announcing they are friends of JK - David Baddiel in his podcast with Sayeda Warsi was the first. He didn't specifically talk about gender but made it clear that he didn't approve of the purity politics / guilt by association. And today Sean Lennon on twitter not only supported Warren Smith (the fired teacher) but when challenged said JK was a friend of his.
So hoping this means we're at the point where the silent sympathisers are speaking up, and the whole edifice of gender ideology collapses.
