| 1641142159704195072 | Hey, @TheGuyPearce this is a disabled woman who has a number of excellent reasons for needing single-sex care. If she can face down the bullies trying to shame her for it, why can't you show some courage? You should retract your apology and fight for women like Miss Freeman. https://t.co/pfLlmOa6Kn | 83 |
| 1640829525939433472 | @TheGuyPearce These Maoist struggle session apologies are just too much for me. It was a fair question, and I'm tired, personally, of trans people - majority white, heterosexual, middle-class people in English-speaking countries - being the holy untouchable caste no one is allowed to question.… https://t.co/xGqOX4zlp0 | 79 |
| 1640839324932423683 | @TheGuyPearce Every time someone well known apologises to this dangerous ideology, a little bit more reality is lost. Stop it. 🙏 | 73 |
| 1641165938535063553 | I have hired queer people to play straight just because they were the best actor for the role. Just sayin’. Take it from me, @TheGuyPearce is not transphobe! | 61 |
| 1640836846258393088 | @TheGuyPearce You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. You asked a valid question and we’re correct in your assumptions. In a free society, everyone should be allowed to ask questions and form their own opinions. | 52 |
| 1641147319226597394 | The kind of garbage that talks like this to disabled women can also make powerful actors write grovelling apology letters. People need to start realising--you don't have to do what these creeps say. @TheGuyPearce https://t.co/YcO6PRXrfD | 52 |
| 1640881344866664449 | @TheGuyPearce I said that you would get cancelled for what you said. It’s disgusting. Let me tell you one thing… you should never be bullied into apologizing. It will get you nowhere. Never bend the knee. | 39 |
| 1640991953566199808 | @TheGuyPearce Well at least now you see how this thing works. No questions allowed, especially not reasonable ones. Lie prostrate in the street and beg forgiveness - or else! And even if you apologise it won't be quite enough. All very normal and not at all totalitarian. 🙄 | 34 |
| 1640832889150636032 | He apologised @TheGuyPearce A less than 24 hour turnaround https://t.co/krCujKLQP5 | 24 |
| 1640828309608206338 | @TheGuyPearce There was no need to apologise, there was no need to delete. There was nothing wrong with your tweet. What you will now discover is they will never be appeased. Nothing you ever say will be meet the demand for complete subservience required. | 22 |

| 1640831355469660171 | @TheGuyPearce Mate, you’re not dealing with rational people. You’ve stumbled into the eyeline of a cult. Please don’t apologise, Don’t feed the narcissists. No@apology is ever good enough anyway. | 882 |
| 1640829323161612288 | @TheGuyPearce If commenting on an issue on Twitter is off limits because of backlash, bullies will always win. I understand you have a career to protect but capitulation is the worst thing you can do. When they smell blood, they come at you harder. Hope you make it out alright. | 775 |
