#TheIckabog will be available to buy on November 10. My royalties will be donated to medical and frontline charities supporting those worst affected by Covid-19. 2/2

Just received my first published copy of #TheIckabog! The winners’ illustrations bring the story alive even more beautifully than I’d imagined. Thank you to EVERYONE who sent in pictures. You reminded me just how much I love writing for young people.  1/2 https://t.co/hsDdZO3PUf

This is also an opportunity to express my gratitude once more to the thousands of people who’ve sent me personal emails and letters of support. I’m trying to respond to all of them, so please forgive me if I haven’t yet got to yours! 3/X

(though believe me, I’m EXTREMELY grateful on that level), but because the signatories are showing solidarity with all the women who’re currently speaking up for their own rights and facing threats of violence and even death in return. 2/3

My weekend was heavy (in the very best sense!) on family and light on reading the news, so I only realised this morning that this letter appeared in the Sunday Times yesterday. I'm profoundly grateful to all the signatories, not only on a personal level, 1/3 https://t.co/4j7B2RGhoV

If you are (or know) a witch who wants one of these, don't buy from cynical chancers. I got my T-shirt from @Wild_Womyn  #supportwomenrunbusinesses

Sometimes a T-shirt just speaks to you...

RT @antidependancy2: I am a 6'2 former forward. If I announce I identify as a girl, stonewall says its OK for me to smash full tilt into a female fly half who weighs 4 or 5 stone less than me. When she has a life changing spinal injury because of it, thats fine, because no ones feelings got hurt.... https://t.co/L3u4zvU9EC

The answer to a frequently asked question on my timeline: which country's illustrations will be in which edition?

Once again, congratulations to all the children & young people whose illustrations will feature in the published books - you produced masterpieces! #TheIckabog https://t.co/Fip6HtP8Be

To all the lovely people who’ve wished me happy birthday, thank you so much  and look at my surprise birthday cake!  https://t.co/cgkohO7Hs0

The writers of this letter are just two of a growing number of whistleblowers. The bleak truth is that if and when the scandal does erupt, nobody currently cheering this movement on will be able to credibly claim ‘we couldn’t have known’. https://t.co/8ughoMKCun 4/4

Since speaking up about gender identity theory, I’ve received thousands of emails – more than I’ve ever had on a single subject. Many have come from professionals working in medicine, education and social work. All are concerned about the effects on vulnerable young people. 3/4

It feels as though we’re on the brink of a medical scandal. A second paper concludes: 

‘Psychiatry sits on this knife-edge: running the risk of being accused of transphobia or, alternatively, remaining silent throughout this uncontrolled experiment.’ 2/4
https://t.co/G3dPP2aCGq

‘NHS identity clinics have been functioning as if acting outside the ordinary requirement of good medical and psychiatric practice.’

Some may dismiss this paper by experienced psychoanalyst @marcusevanspsych, but they do so at their own peril.
