Reading between the lines, the claim is that he retweeted an account, and that account, in another tweet, IDed her.

Here's one for those who are wondering what the mermaid thing is about - https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/mermaids-trans-charity-children-big-lottery-fund-support-transphobia-graham-linehan-a8688701.html Granted none of this gives you a specific tweet from him but as I said, I'm not on twitter. I just find that the way he comes across is as a bully, a zealot. That doesnt mean he is wrong or maybe partially right, but I think he can do better. I certainly dont think he helps the discussion (I cant find the guardian article but the Robert Webb one is so much more reasoned.Andy wrote:Show me evidence, people. Not that evidence.

Still not seen evidence that Linehan has been, and still less of Robert Webb. There are people policing social media with threats of unemployment and criminal complaints. There is a vexatious litigant after Linehan. But Linehan is the bad guy and that person has been "deadnamed" (ie a string of alias and companies house companies, a scene of violence on YouTube etc revealed) and is the victim. As ever, I guess, what I am angered by is the uncritical crowdthink. As for puberty blockers, they can fuck off. Mermaid clearly offer a link to a Dr who offers "the treatment offered on a fast-track basis was hormone blockers." That's what puberty blockers are, hormone blockers instead of replacement. I'd not "fast track" that.
