Molloy’s stance was endorsed by Logo TV, a network owned by RuPaul’s Drag Race, which apologised for the use of transphobic terminology and GLAAD. Molloy was endorsed by an open letter written by Zinnia Jones and signed by Sarah Brown, Fallon Fox, Christina Kahrl and more than 350 other transgender people against what they saw as personal attacks by Addams and James.
