Just to clarify the article a bit for others who may be too lazy to read all the way through, 4 responded yes and the others didn't respond at all.

It wasn't a large pile of "No" at least, but still disappointing to see. But I'm also not sure if they chose not to reply out of fear of some political misstep, or if maybe they were simply oblivious to the request for comment. Who knows.

It's definitely the former. Look at Labour leadership. They don't call it terf island for nothing

Just you wait, the TERFs and the fascists (but I repeat myself) will come for you too.

They got theirs so they don't want to cause a stir and draw attention.
