Allowing a jealous Internet bully to guide your decisions is hardly befitting for you. Unless you now remove all artwork from those with opinions you don't agree with, then this proves to be a misogynistic, knee jerk, produced judgement against a female artist. Awful.

It is illegal to discriminate against someone for their beliefs, and this is precisely what's happening

A bunch of cranks complain about an artist who hasn’t done anything wrong. The RA should be better than this.

What you’ve done is both inaccurate and hateful to Jess de Wahls. Please re instate her work.

Jess's work is not offensive.
There is no reason to remove her right to promote her work.

Eric Gill (associate of @royalacademy) had sex with his sisters, his daughters and his dog. @JessDeWahls states that a woman is an adult human female and gets cancelled by @royalacademy. Well done grunters. Yet again @royalacademy shows it has the intellect of a nematode.

The mainstream art cannon is full of male artists depicting naked women. Women artists are extremely underrepresented. There is nothing wrong with Jess’s views, they’re widely held and protected in law.

Being a pro women feminist artist is not transphobic. Her work is beautiful and powerful, totally woman centred and it is disgraceful that you have expelled her work and labelled her as transphobic. This is all the more shocking in light of the case of Maya Forstater, also falsely accused and ejected from her post. The court found in her favour, that pro women and gender critical views were not bigoted but valid and protected comment.

This is an outrageous act of censorship by one of our major galleries that breaches equality and free speech legislation. Shame on you Royal Academy

These witch hunts against women must stop. Wome should have the right to raise concerns over threats to their hard won rights and boundries. This is a mindlessm knee jerk reaction by the RA who should reinstate Jess's work and make a full apology!
