"One fan of J.K. Rowling, Graham Linehan, came up with “Gender Critical Coming Out Day” as a celebration of a Rowling tweet in support of Magdalen Berns. He also shared part of the home address of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre director and trans woman Mridul Wadhwa online as part of a viral harassment campaign, which included death threats over the phone and in letters. The Rape Crisis Centre had to end its open-door policy and is still in lockdown." Sam Young, Medium
Twitter suspended Graham Linehan's account in 2020. When Elon Musk took over the platform in 2022, he reactivated Linehan's account.
In 2023, Linehan has found a gay man saying he's willing to kill for the anti-transgender cause.

Linehan plays it this way: If anyone objects to the violent transphobia, Linehan can respond You're homophobic because you disagree with this gay man.
A "gender critical" YouTuber has said that the GC movement needs "dangerous men who can kill" on their side, saying that he can kill & is "capable of acts of extraordinary evil." The man has been a guest on @glinner's YouTube and his response is to call the man "a diamond..." 1/ pic.twitter.com/w3kR7CEVgA

And his followers duly take their lead from him. "More homophobia from the trans rights movement, trying to silence a gay man etc..." because the GC movement are more than happy to play identity politics when it suits them, to reassert their goodness in this. 4/

These people only want to listen to some women speak.
He was briefly suspended from Twitter again in April 2023.
His anti-trans activism is ongoing.
