Yet another organisation bowing to a small minority of activists. This is getting out of hand, stop it/them.

The Royal Academy should not stop selling Jess de Wahls’ work in their shop. They should apologise to her for their bullying attitude

I strongly oppose your actions against Jess de Walls. These misogynistic witch hunts against women stating biological fact should end now.

As a friend of the RA, if they do not reverse their decision, I shall cancel my subscription.

Please stop this absurdity. Scientific fact should be the rule we live by rather than a psychological need to pretend to be a different gender.

Shame on you for punishing a woman for standing for women's rights and biological reality She has said and done nothing transphobic.

This is disgraceful treatment of a brilliant feminist artist. The RA should be ashamed!

RA needs to consider "cancellation " of Artists a lot more carefully. Jess has valid views and should be able to express them. However as a women she is joining a long line of artists that the RA has discriminated against. I love the RA but this is wrong

Don’t need the RA to act as censor particularly when they display works of many other controversial figures

Jess Wahl's beliefs are protected under law. Her work should be reinstated.

This minority control of all our lives is undemocratic and has to stop.

Jess’ expressed views seem perfectly reasonable and I am so disappointed that the Royal Academy has done this

Jess de Wahls has done nothing wrong, she holds an opinion which is backed by facts and scientific evidence and shared with the vast majority of the population. She has broken no laws and harmed no-one (disagreement with someone else's beliefs is not harm, and is normal and to be welcomed in a diverse society).For this she is being punished and her livelihood threatened, due to the smears of a handful of complainers with their own agenda. Meanwhile you allow works by actual murderers, abusers and paedophiles to remain. The RA should be ashamed, and should reinstate Jess"s work with a full apology. If it does not, I hope Jess will take legal action on the basis of discrimination against her beliefs and indirect sex discrimination.

She said nothing offensive or untrue or unkind. Support women to express their views. Think

I fully support Jess’s right to express her opinions which in no way are harmful to trans people. the Royal Academy is quite wrong to discriminate against her.
