What is going on with this play on the Fringe? The playwright says he has had death threats. He also says he would like JKR to see the play but he wouldn't want to meet her, but his play is balanced on this controversial topic. He also says he chose the name 'Terfs' for the play because of the behaviour of some of those who hold GC views.

I’m at the point where unless proof is provided, I absolutely do not believe gender ideologues who insist they have received death threats and abuse.

TRAs and GI advocates equate disagreement with their ideas with death threats and abuse. It is in no way comparable to the actual vitriol and rage abuse that GC women receive.

  • of course, if any actual threats or abuse were received by TRAs, I would absolutely condemn it as unacceptable.

He didn't seem to know about the death threats etc JKR has had, nor that her address had been published with the suggestion people go there to protest against her. He was utterly clueless - is this because he lives in the NYC bubble?

No, he loves in a man bubble where he is always right because man.
