The magnificent James worked on the Ickabog website and it's thanks to him and his team we managed to get the project up and running so quickly. And I agree - this is a truly fabulous picture of an Ickabog! https://t.co/ds5z56PTti | J.K. Rowling | null | Tweet | null | null | null |

The writers of this letter are just two of a growing number of whistleblowers. The bleak truth is that if and when the scandal does erupt, nobody currently cheering this movement on will be able to credibly claim ‘we couldn’t have known’. https://t.co/8ughoMKCun 4/4 | J.K.

Since speaking up about gender identity theory, I’ve received thousands of emails – more than I’ve ever had on a single subject.

It feels as though we’re on the brink of a medical scandal. A second paper concludes:
‘Psychiatry sits on this knife-edge: running the risk of being accused of transphobia or, alternatively, remaining silent throughout this uncontrolled experiment.’ 2/4
