Yes, he deserves credit. He gets some hate for it, too, but strangely as far as I know most of the doxxing and physical threats are directed at his wife! It's almost as if...

...men's real weak points in the public discourse are the women they care about?

Apparently. He became especially interested in women's sex-based rights because his wife needed an abortion, the kind where she medically needed it or she might die, yeah that kind; but being in Ireland she had to travel abroad (thankfully UK is close-by) to get one. Naturally the need to travel abroad to save her own life really brought home the realities of being female under male supremacy for him, I guess. I dunno how into feminism he was before that, but I heard that was a huge wake-up call for him. Anyway, some of the bullying online directed at them (because of him speaking again TRAs) has to do with the medically necessary abortion his wife had (not that it being medically necessary makes it more 'valid', but it does seem especially egregious when people are fine with the woman – and fetus, btw – dying because fuck women, right?).
