The other night the familiar whispering started. I was at a prestigious private view in a famous gallery and woman after woman came up to me and whispered that they supported my views on gender ideology. “Fight the good fight,” they said. Often men say this too and more commonly younger and younger people on the street, bus or Tube.
My views, put simply, are that biology is real, that single-sex spaces for women should be maintained, that children should not be medicalised via hormones and surgery, and that trans people should be treated with respect and dignity. These everyday views are considered “transphobic” by my own tribe, the nebulous blob that we might call the Left, hence the whispering, the private messages, endless DMs and emails from those too afraid to say these things in public.
