There are opinions, & there are facts. I think Jess has done nothing more than the latter.

The High Court found that gender critical views are worthy of respect in a democratic society. Does the Royal Academy of Arts not want a democratic society? Does the RA not believe artists should have freedom of expression, but rather draw only between rigid lines?

Absolutely appalling. Jess is clearly not transphobic. Standing up for women does not equate to transphobia. The Royal Academy doesn't seem to like women very much or have much knowledge about the law.

This has gone too far. What about how women feel or does being trans make even a discussion impossible now?

Jess is not transphobic she is just stating a scientific biological fact that a person can change their outward appearance but not their genetic makeup.

Jess deWahls is not "transphobic". She has publicly declared support for trans people, but does not believe in gender ideology. Her beliefs are protected in law. A cowardly, contemptible, ill-informed move from the RA. I will be cancelling my membership.

A disgraceful decision which shames the RA. The individuals who made it should be held to account.

This artist is being discriminated against for holding a protected belief. It would be interesting to know what process you followed to make this decision, and what process you subject other artists to.

Disgraceful to cancel someone for having different views. The illiberal left need to protect their echo chamber

I am not aware of any hate or phobia in Jess essay or comments. A vocal minority should not rule by threat and oppression.
