The Times gave him a double page spread yesterday

‘It will take decades to undo the damage from the trans movement’
The legal ruling on the meaning of ‘woman’ was a vindication for Graham Linehan, the comedy writer, but the scars persist, he tells Andrew Billen

Susan Smith and Marion Calder of For Women Scotland, which brought the case, outside the Supreme Court.
Next image ›
It was when Lord Hodge explained that the Supreme Court had used biology to assemble its legal definition of what a woman was that Graham Linehan dared to hope victory might be coming to the cause that had cost him his family and career. “You could feel a crackle around the room,” says the Father Ted co-creator turned anti-trans activist, who was in the public gallery for Wednesday’s epic ruling. “It was a lovely thing to experience. And then, as soon as the judges left, the whole place just broke out in applause.”

Shortly after 10am the former stand-up whose savage wit as directed towards trans activists had alienated many even on his side (was this, feminists asked, his battle to fight?) emerged into Parliament Square to the cheers of women. “It was,” he says from a friend’s house the next day, “one of the nicest things that’s ever happened to me.” On Thursday one front-page headline read simply “Trans women are not women”, the exact phrase that had got Linehan banned from Twitter, further, he says, destroying his reputation. “To see it on a newspaper headline — it felt like reality was breaking out.” Afterwards he celebrated with fellow campaigners. A photo on X, to which — under Elon Musk’s management — he had been restored, showed him raising a glass with Venice Allan, a campaigner against trans women swimming in the Ladies’ Pond on Hampstead Heath.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

Someone called ICE on this sweet family who was running a Kebab restaurant. They have had a case open with with USCIS since 2016. They would feed the homeless, people with disabilities, and people who just couldn’t afford to pay them. There is a GFM to offer support for legal fees and lost income.

I’ve been asked by the Emanet family to set up a GoFundMe to help cover legal fees and support income while Jersey Kebab remains closed.

During the morning hours of Tuesday, February 25, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrantlessly picked up members of the Emanet family, Celal and Emine Emanet, from Jersey Kebab, located at 150 Haddon Avenue, Haddon Township, NJ 08108.

The Emanet family has an open case with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and has been waiting since 2016 for a decision on their case. USCIS has not decided whether to approve or deny their green card application for the past 9 years. While waiting for their case to be decided upon, Celal and Emine Emanet were left without a status.

They are contributing members of society and taxpayers with a five-year valid business license. Celal and Emine own and operate Jersey Kebab, a beloved Mediterranean restaurant across from the Haddon Township Municipality and Police building. The husband-and-wife pair own and manage the restaurant together, a hub for the community, and regularly feed underprivileged

members of the community - the sign on the door stating, “Free to anyone with a disability, homeless, or simply cannot afford it.” The couple start prep work together at 9 am and close up shop at 8:30 pm.

At the end of the night, Celal and Emine come back home where they live with their four children (Muhammed, Zeynep, Hamza, Hale), daughter-in-law (Hale), two grandchildren (Ali and Omer), and two cats (Oreo and Almond). Muhammed (25), the manager at Jersey Kebab, who attended Rutgers-Camden, is a husband and father to two children. Zeynep (23) is a Swarthmore College graduate and works at a local civil rights nonprofit organization. Their younger son, Hamza (15), and younger daughter, Hale (13), cannot imagine life without mom and dad together.

While Celal has been released from custody with an ankle monitor, Emine has been placed into the Elizabeth Detention Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey, awaiting her bond trial. This situation is especially devastating for their 15-year-old son, Hamza, who has autism.

Deporting Emine would cause Hamza immense distress, as he only speaks limited Turkish and relies on the specialized services available to him

here in New Jersey. Uprooting him from this support system would have severe consequences for his well-being.

Emine is not a flight risk - she is a mother, community member, and neighbor. Neither Celal nor Emine have criminal records or prior orders of removal by an immigration judge. She needs to be released on bond so she can return home. Until she is released, the restaurant, which is their main source of income, is closed. So please help out any way you can.

A sign in the restaurant window of a Kebab restaurant reads “To Anybody with a Disability or Homeless or Simply Cannot Afford”
