Couldn't see a thread on this, apols etc.

Graun; Authors quit JK Rowling agency over transgender rights

I can't claim to have followed this story at all but was amused by the glaring bullst hypocrisy of the authors, happy to remain with an agency which represented such friends of the LGBTQ community as Tyson Fury, yet spitting feathers over JK Rowling?

Its all becoming a bit Stalinist isn't it.

Since when did "liberalism" mean no-platforming and trying to ruin the livelihood of anyone who expresses any disagreement from the orthodoxies of the time?.
