Beliefs opinions concerning biological reality’s are not a reason to censor a particular artist at the request of a set of people who’s opinions differ who then decide to lobby against artist RESIST

So - are you removing the (male) artists who we know abused women? Or just women who believe that although trans rights are human rights biological sex is a fact? Idiots.

Jess was expressing a personal view, in a polite and informed way. Whether or not you agree with her, provided her message is not hateful, she has a right to speak freely without fear of being cancelled by a social media lynch mob.

De Wahls has said nothing wrong and her views on the transgender bullies and the erosion of rights for biological women are sensible. The RA should apologise and reinstate her work.

The RA should not take heed of intolerant and extreme people. J de Wahls expressed a moderate point of view, which should not have led to her artwork items being removed from the RA gift shop.

The Royal Academy happily promoted the work of abusive men but cancels women for their opinion

Since 1768 the Royal Academy for the Arts has promoted the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate.
Provide more information as to why you have censored one of this countries most creative people and cancelled their work for speaking out about feminism. Stop this appalling discrimination against women

Another large institution doing the wrong thing to please a small amount of extremists on social media while causing damage to very hard won freedoms that appear to be taken for granted. Women’s rights need to be protected.

We must do all we can to resist the minority who wish to shut down free speech. The Royal Academy must be reported to the charity commission by all who read this

This is a breach of the Equality act 2010, as recently concluded in the Forstater case. In addition, she has said nothing that is evidentially wrong, a person can change their gender, as it is an artificial construct, however they cannot change their sex, as technology has not evolved to the point we can opt to change our chromosomes

Depriving a woman of an income for her gender critical feminist views is coercive control
