Graham Linehan’s arrest proves that trans ideology is a threat to us all

So let’s get this straight. If a mugger snatches your phone, the police will do nothing. If burglars ransack your home, the police will do nothing. If your daughter is raped by a grooming gang, the police will do nothing.

But if you write a social media post that offends someone who identifies as transgender, you’ll be abruptly set upon by five armed officers.

Obviously, it shouldn’t need saying that the arrest of Graham Linehan, the award-winning comedy writer and co-creator of Father Ted, brings shame on the police and makes our country look like a tinpot dictatorship. Nonetheless, I believe that this disgraceful episode will at least have one upside. Because it demolishes, once and for all, one of trans activism’s most subtly pernicious arguments.
