Linehan also called me an NPC. On another occasion he joined in with a man who informed me I am not a woman, and agreed when the man called me a child abuser. This is how Graham Linehan treats cis women. He is not a feminist, he is a misogynist who is comfortable sharing fantasies about violence.

Did Graham Linehan once again devote himself to illegally harassing a trans person online? Yes Did Graham Linehan grab her phone out of her hand & smash it? Yes Did Graham Linehan tweet telling people to punch trans people? Yes These are objective facts Not sure there's much ambiguity here tbh

Statement from Trans Safety Network on the Linehan arrest. TSN understand Linehan's tweet to be an unambiguous call for vigilante violence against trans women in toilets. And yet senior government figures and police have jumped to find a way to make excuses for it.

Graham Linehan. He's in court today on a charge of assaulting a child. Yes, you read that right. A CHILD. Someone under the age of eighteen. The TERFs, Knicker Sniffers and Pick Mes think the fact he assaulted a child is rather amusing because that child is transgender... They are vermin.

Further data: At the topless trans protest in Scotland he posted uncensored photos of the protestors saying that some had to be cis because of their breasts! How pervy is that!

Its already been shown, by him, that he can’t actually tell trans people from cis people so if he were to action his threat to punch someone its probably more likely to be a cis woman. He is a threat to ALL women!

Farage dodged parliament, went to the US, slagged off the UK, lied to Congress, grifted for donations and hoped to persuade the US to punish us for the Online Safety Act.

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.
