Gillian Philip Stories


Listen Later

Accompanied by a loudly purring cat, Gillian Philip, a Scottish author of over 40 books, talks about how in 2020, she was dropped by her publishers HarperCollins and WorkingPartners after posting “IStandwithJKRowling” on Twitter in support of women’s sex-based rights. The decision followed a backlash from gender identity activists, abusive threats, and coordinated pressure campaigns labelling her views as transphobic. Despite her long-standing public positions, the companies terminated her contract without discussion, and her agent also withdrew support shortly after her husband’s death. Gillian bought a legal claim in an Employment Tribunal against both HarperCollins and WorkingPartners after she lost her career to the gender zealots and now works as a courier and HGV driver.
