Here is a paragraph from a letter I wrote a few days ago to my new pension manager:-
“I have adopted a policy  of zero tolerance for wokeness in my dealings with all corporate, governmental, arts & cultural, educational, and other organizations. Accordingly, any attempt to introduce tenets of gender ideology, critical race theory, or any other fashionable nonsense into our business relationship will result in its immediate termination.”

This ideology is an unholy alliance between men who hate women, ‘vicious Queens’ like Owen Jones, and women who love power, ‘High Priestesses’ like Stella Creasy.

They can all get in the sea.

To be honest it seems like it was the RA so much as a singled Royal Academician, David Mach, who uncancelled you.
But I hope the RA stands behind him

“So, in some ways, I was lucky that the RA jumped on the bandwagon. That story was noisy, got a lot of attention, and inspired resistance.”
Very interesting point.
JDW makes the larger point that “the tide has turned.” Another metaphor might be “the fever has broken,” or the epidemic is subsiding. Indeed, is Farr’s Law at work? Let me develop this idea.
I myself have written elsewhere:

In a “Letter to the Registrar-General from William Farr, Esq.,” dated June, 1840, William Farr observed that “Five [people] die weekly of smallpox in the metropolis [London] when the disease is not epidemic; …” So, smallpox was always out there in the miasma. But why would smallpox (1) sometimes breakout in epidemics and then (2) recede on its own back its baseline rate of about five fatalities a week? “Why do the five deaths become 10, 15, 20, 31, 58, 88 weekly, and then progressively fall through the same measured steps?”

Farr’s Law is not so much of a law as say, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it is an observation of a regularity… Farr’s regularity is that epidemics have this way of winding down that looks much like the mirror image of the way they had wound up; something clicks and seemingly exponential increase gives way to something that looks a lot like exponential decay.

The difficulty with Farr’s Law is that it says nothing about how far an outbreak (of smallpox, of flu, of SARS, of COVID) will ramp up before receding. When does the ramping up click off? It does tell us something qualitative – that outbreaks follow something of a (possibly skewed) bell-shaped trajectory, but it does not tell us how to calibrate that trajectory. 

So, we get these social contagions, witch hunts and such. And then they fall apart. Predicting when they will fall apart is a tough business. Knowing how to induce them to fall apart may be harder. But, here we all are, friends, reading, writing, sharing ideas. Perhaps that is the best we can do: talk to each other.
I keep finding myself coming back to Vaclav Havel’s essay, “The Power of the Powerless” (1977). What I get out of it is: When everyone knows that the system is a joke, and everyone knows that everyone knows that the system is a joke, then the system becomes susceptible to collapse in a manner consistent with Farr’s Law. The matter of falling apart becomes a matter of drawing a card from a deck on any given day. And one day we draw the Ace of Spades, and the system starts to collapse.
So, we keep talking and reading and sharing ideas. We make it more likely that we will draw the ace.

Here is the relevant paragraph from my recent letter to my new pension managers:-
“I have adopted a policy  of zero tolerance for wokeness in my dealings with all corporate, governmental, arts & cultural, educational, and other organizations. Accordingly, any attempt to introduce tenets of gender ideology, critical race theory, or any other fashionable nonsense into our business relationship will result in its immediate termination.”

Good on you!

The 60,000 dollar question is: does the trans Barbie have a p***s?:)

Brava, Jess, and thank you for an incisive and powerful essay. Your writing skills are as impressive as your embroidery. I’m glad the RA saw sense.

Rather appalling that only one Royal Academician had the guts and common sense to reach out to Jess in her moment of need. So as well as congratulating Jess for her resolve and good humour under fire, I’d like to say: Take a bow, David Mach

Three cheers for persistence & fortitude in the face of intolerance & lunacy. I do loved this update on Jesse.

Your work is beautiful Jess. I didn’t know that “The White P*be” were behind your hounding. The Tate folded in a most undignified fashion when they managed to get Rex Whistler cancelled and closed down.

It would be great if it truly were the case that this damaging ideology was checked, especially from the point of children.

But I would be highly pessimistic. As other posters have pointed out before, their target isn’t people like the author or say Jk Rowling, who clearly have strong connections. Their target are the millions who have no political reach or know anybody, who can’t afford to lose their jobs.

And the bigger issue is that in reality, little changes. The likes of Damore are still cancelled, and the author and her supporters would be first in line to throw stones at heretics like him. The only reason T ideology is being challenged is not because how grotesque it is, but because they stepped on the toes of other established victim groups that use exactly the same tactics, have the same philosophy, have if anything far more damaging impact on society.
