Text reads: So what on earth is going on? There is clearly, a (very) small group of people who are using ME as a way of defining themselves and who can cause disruption out of all proportion to their numbers. "It's quite cultish," says Tracey Brown, managing director of Sense about Science. She lists the defining characteristics of the extremist: "Predominantly female, intelligent, in her forties. Brighter than their jobs and education suggest they are." She believes that the activists, as well as comprising genuine sufferers, also attract hangers-on, people seeking a "cause".
Reminded of this today.
It appeared in the Sunday Times in May 2013, a few months after the awarding of the first #MaddoxPrize.

It is shameful that the #MaddoxPrize shortlist includes an 'activist' who calls trans people ‘damaged’ and a ‘huge problem in a sane world' and stated that the NHS Rainbow scheme is worse than Andrew Tate.
