Feminist my left foot.
He was amongst the authors who signed a letter saying, amongst other things "To that end, we say: non-binary people are non-binary, trans women are women, trans men are men, trans rights are human rights".
I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if this were true. Gender ideology, Queer Theory, the trampling of boundaries - it's all of a piece.

Oh dear. I am/was a fan. He proports to be a feminist too. I will hope the accusations are proven false but also want to believe the women.
It's interesting that these two allegations have come out at the same time I wonder what prompted the coincidence or if one prompted the other.

Never ever trust men who claim to be feminists. Its the oldest cliche in the book.
I was raped by a man who claimed feminism, and sexually assaulted by 2 GP members.
Lot of that in the GP which even Lucas acknowledged to me.
As to Gaiman a glaring manchild, he has been standing against womens safeguarding for several years.
All about the tra.

To be fair, the example I gave was him answering a direct question from an audience about whether he considered his writing to be feminist and he answered to the affirmative. He may have said it otherwise (it wouldn't be a suprise).
Agree with you about his stance on the woman's rights/ safeguarding issue, I hoped he was one of the misguided but well meaning ones who just hadn't thought about it so i'm disappointed to be wrong. He has a super woke fanbase so deep into that shit I imaging.
I imagine this case will go nowhere just like all the others examples. The accusations seem very specific which makes it more plausible to me. Another one tainted that I need to swerve.

I've seen him say it on X

Yeah, I just started episode 3 of the podcast. A man in his 60s climbing naked into a bath with a woman in her early 20s, whom he has only just met and who is his employee. So grim, and the bohemian nudist vibes remind me of Jimmy Savile using his weirdness as a cloak for his perverted behaviour.

The nanny within hours, is just grim. And an abuse of power.
