Disgraceful @BBCWomansHour . Why are you allowing a rapist to be referred to as "she"? Why has it not been mentioned that Adam Graham only decided to "transition" after being charged. Why are you not discussing the victims who have to hear their attacker referred to as "she"?

No, Jonny. Women are astonished that someone with a PhD will actually protest about a book he hasn’t read and whose contents he knows nothing about cos his mates told him to. Abusive misogynistic language also noted - for boys like Jonny the whole point is hurling abuse at women.

So is this right? ‘Mother’ is a gendered term that’s best avoided, unless you’re a man using it to describe yourself, in which case it’s bullying and transphobia to point out it’s offensive?

I’ve discovered Val McDermid’s blocked me. I’ve never had any interaction with her or even mentioned her. But it’s no surprise that a woman who can buy privacy from men cares not a jot for women who can’t. I’ve always heard she’s a man’s woman.

@Mollusc_16 @Waterstones @HJoyceGender Well that’s just lying! It’s a best seller and has been extremely well reviewed. Gaslighting curious teenagers? Interesting business approach.
