Absolutely shocking.

Brave woman for not backing down, this is outrageous and I hope that she is okay.

'Since I replied to this article I’ve had numerous death threats to myself and my unborn child. Questions on my own gender (I’m pregnant so guess that clears that one up ...) calls for my employers to sack me, threats to my home. I’ve been called a racist, a bigot and a sexist as well as various insults - cnt, slg etc.

I’ve also been asked why I haven’t raised any concerns on this topic before? See above for your answer.

When there are discrepancies with test results - which could impact the safety of another human being, in an environment that above all else should be fair - questions are quite rightly going to be asked. The answers are still unclear, otherwise this topic would be closed.

Thats simply not true.
Its a huge site and there are fascinating threads about art culture history archaeology science nature and geopolitics that you find nowhere else and with links to a treasury of information you didnt know existed.

You get out of twitter what you put in and what you look for.

Whenever I've looked at it (created a burner account to look at a particular post that I can't otherwise access) it just 'suggests' a whole load of toxic crap to me. I follow lots of musicians and sport-related accounts on Instagram and YouTube and never get anything awful suggested to me.

Yesterday evening, my husband asked "Who is Laura Woods and what did she say to get death threats?" I told him she'd approved of an article written by a colleague and he didn't believe me that that's what it was.

I would say it peaked him but he just begged me to stop going on about it 😂😂😂

That sounds like my DH whenever I point out the hypocrisy of any of this stuff.

It's really starting to piss me off now.

Hm. Is it possibly cognitive dissonance struggling to work itself out?

Or they're showing that they really don't care.
