Disgraceful pandering to an aggressive minority who cannot accept biological reality. I wish all transgender people well but not at the expense of women.

Jess de Wahls made a valid point in a non aggressive manner. The RA has responded to a tiny minority that us seeking to wreck the careers and ruin the livelihoods of anyone who contests their argument that biological sex is irrelevant. It is disgraceful.

A gutless decision by the RA, the explanation for its actions devoid of rationale.

Personally I will not be visiting an Academy and/or contributing to a Charity which does not support a persons right to free speech and uphold the U.K. Law on the issue

Unless it is prepared to review the private lives, thoughts, writings and opinions of all of their artists, the RA should immediately reverse this ridiculous and misogynistic decision, which discriminates against women and their right to uphold the material reality that biological sex cannot be changed and that a man can never become a woman, just because he says so!

The RA's attitude is disgraceful and they should immediately reinstate Jess De Wahls work and issue an apology.

Being a Trustee of the Royal Academy means upholding the Law. Post Forstater v CGD 10 June 2021, this is against Human Rights Law.
