LGB VictoryRA apology to artist Jess de Wahls for removing her works for supposed ‘transphobia’. Gender woo woo crowd lost! Usually suspects now trying to cancel the Royal Academy(Lol, founded in 1768, good luck Ayden), with much anger over the Pride flag RA is using. Die mad, b!tches

From the article:

“If an artist denied Jewish, black or gay people’s identity, most people would say that the Royal Academy would be right to remove their works from the gift shop. But when Jess denies trans people’s identity, she and other trans critics say that it’s her right to free speech and she should not be penalised. This smacks of double standards.”

Bullshit. "Most people" might say that it's right to remove those works in that case, but that wouldn't make it right. Can't we just let the market decide? If people think this person is so terrible, they can avoid buying her work. That doesn't give them the right to disallow any other person from buying her work.

People don't deny that Jews and black people exist.

I mean, yeah, but even if they did, I'd still say it's wrong to forcibly remove their works from being up for sale just because of that reason.

Obviously, a private company can do whatever they want and stock whatever they want in their shops, but just deciding to hurt this artist's livelihood over accusations is not right, regardless of what they're being accused of.
