One interpretation - the rewriting of personal history and documentation to align with a later chosen identify

It must be lovely to be on such a position that stating your (quite right and fair) views will have absolutely no effect on your celebrity status and income.

Go JK

She could also be referring to populism and the wrong doings of someone like Trump, who despite being impeached, will no doubt be re elected next year.

There's a fake homophobic screenshot of JK being spread around. That may be what she's referring to.

Knowing her, it will have multiple meanings.

oh apparently there was a fake screenshot of a "JK Rowling Tweet" circulating among the TRA tendency on Twitter, exemplifying their normal standards of critical thinking and scepticism.

But I do like the multifarious possible meanings of her response here. She's throwing shade.

Shes brilliant. Using her fame and platform to spread the truth

I would also like to point out that she's on the front page of the Times today because she has paid £50million in UK tax this year. She refuses to use any loop holes or off shore accounts to reduce her tax bill. The woman is amazing.

I’m not a fan of the Potter books, but my admiration and respect for JKR has grown exponentially in recent weeks.

Plausible deniability. She's brilliant.

OP, what do you think she's referring to?

I have seen this this morning and am mostly just baffled.

It’s more important to think about why so many people believe certain falsehoods, like say for example, that sex isn’t real, than it is to try and demonstrate that sex IS real.

Totalitarianism succeeds by making people believe falsehoods and trying to convince them of the falsehood itself is very difficult. Instead we need to understand the circumstance that lead them to that point if totalitarianism is to be defeated.

Following GeordieTerf's post, I assume it's this fake tweet:

twitter.com/cdnza/status/1221365829503193089

Taken from this very obsessive account:

During the last furore people were asking why JK Rowling was not suing people defaming her on twitter. It seemed obvious to me that that would be counter-productive. This one though, I could well imagine that it is over the line to be worth considering action.

She has just finished a Galbraith book. twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1221129095322439680

Intriguing.

My mum and I are both reading the Strike books as a result of JK's Tweet supporting Maya, so pleased to see a new one.

Oh my God, the numpties posting under that manuscript tweet. What fucking planet are they on? Some people need to get off twitter and out into the real world. I’m certain the fresh air and sunlight would do them no end of good.
