Graham Linehan's transphobia

On Christmas 2019, Katy Montgomerie pointed out on Twitter that the LGB Alliance is a hate group. He said: "You're the hate group, Katy." (video: 1:05–1:50)

Video is by Caelan Conrad, April 29, 2024 — I've watched the first 15 min and would like to come back to it. It's a 2-hour video. The idea in these first 15 min is that Linehan can't stop tweeting about trans people, he lost his marriage (and lost the cheese grater in the divorce), and no one is buying his book about losing the cheese grater.

"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.

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. An unpaywalled "friend link" for you: "BBC attempt to launder reputation of Graham Linehan": The former comedy writer turned keyboard warrior has had a gig cancelled prompting a write-up where the BBC attempt to launder reputation of horrific bigot, Graham Linehan.
