Fisher et al. left @TBP_agency because they "seemed unwilling to make any sort of commitment to show us they supported transgender people". Other than already having them as clients, presumably...

Fisher invited TBP to have an "open and honest conversation with us to reaffirm their support for transgender authors and employees in a [public] statement as well as possibly do a training with an organisation called All About Trans."

Ah. 'All About Trans'... who have, in the past, commissioned Fisher's company to create twenty-five short films.

Fisher's partner, Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir (Owl) is a Project Director for All About Trans.

Patchwork Launch with My Genderation at Channel 4 - All About Trans

For the past 6 months, Lucky Tooth Films (aka My Genderation) have been working with All About Trans on 25 Patchwork films, in collaboration with Channel 4. Forming part of the Patchwork Stories se...

Then Fisher talked that "one of the work twitters" [sic] of TBP was re-tweeting "toxic comments", but we're left none the wiser as to what Fisher thought they were.

5/13

Anyway, Fisher wanted "an open and honest conversation within the agency to reaffirm that they supported transgender authors and possible transgender employees"... such as the ones that were already their clients?

6/13

Apparently, it's not an "even playing ground" in the agency... and Fisher has been trying to chat with the agency since December about JK Rowling's tweets. Again, why Fisher thought they needed chatting about, we're not told.

7/13

Fisher: "of course I'll never be able to change her views... I'd never demand to change her views but all we wanted really was an open conversation."

8/13

Presenter Mishal Husain: "do you regard JK Rowling as someone who puts out hate speech?" "I think she's fallen in with the wrong crowd," came Fisher's reply.

9/13

Fisher continued, "I think she is very scared and very fearful of things when actually she just needs to spend some time with transgender people"

Other than those that she already has... maybe they were just the wrong type of trans people for Fisher's liking?

10/13

After throwing out the casual insult of "cisgendered people", Fisher dodged the question about what JKR had said about sex rights, instead simply repeating the tired old mantra that 2transwomen are women."

11/13

Bizarrely, Fisher seems to think they are actually fighting for a similar cause - if only JK would open her eyes and realise TWAW then they'd be able to move forward.

I think Fisher opened many people's eyes today...
