Charitably, they seemed enormously under informed.

It is a cult which one day they’ll break from and realise was utterly ridiculous to support.

Own up does any biological woman on here think that a biological man can have a penis. Speak now or forever hold your peace. And tell us in plain English why mr Starmer can't enunciate this and put women who have no interest in politics but are very keen on womens issues minds at rest.

This whole thread, (this is the second thread now) was started by an OP that said JKR should 'pipe down'.

And is ending up with "she likes the sound of her own voice too much"
Bloody woman speaking eh?

I don’t care what they’re talking about. If they think there’s any possibility of Rowling upending the election result they’re living in Narnia.

I agree, I’m furious that this might jeapordise our chances of getting the Tories out. She is more concerned with her own voice.

'Ooh, hark at her. Who does she think she is, talking about politics in public?'

Ah. Not Richard Dawkins. That would have been very surprising. 😁

This person was coming across like a cult member. Calling people disgusting for stating facts is on another level.

I’m not remotely panicked about it. In an election in which one of the main parties hasn’t put a significant foot wrong and is 20+ points ahead in the polls it’ll take something a lot bigger than this to affect the result. Young people whose natural inclination is to vote for minority parties are lending Labour their votes this time. The mood of the country is predominantly to GTTO.

You may not be, read back and you'll see other posters are.

As it happens I totally, 100% agree with you. Labour have this in the bag.

Well that's the point. Why all the panic about one woman's view?

Dawkins said I was disgusting because I said women have two X chromosomes and men have an X and a Y and you can’t change that.
