Interesting that Margaret Atwood signed after that nonsense she tweeted this morning (yesterday? What even is time anymore?).

She'll have signed before today, so maybe the nonsense is an after-the-fact panic to stop a pile-on. She is already in the bad books of many for criticising metoo and being too white, will be interesting to see if pandering to the trans works as absolution (as it would if she were a man, cf Damien Barr Booker debacle)

Yes, now I suspect yesterday's tweet was made in anticipation of this letter, trying to offset the trans mob.

Explains why she interacted in a respectful way with Jane Clare Jones too.

Good point.
