JK right again

And they don’t just demand to compete against the girls, they insist on being naked in the girls’ changing room and whinge about transphobia if the girls refuse to get naked in front of them.

I thought their response was really funny.

I actually find the whole concept of "dolls" to be problematic.
A set of Trans women who want to be seen as an inanimate object that is frequently fetishised?
Very very creepy

You don’t help yourself by being deliberately rude or simple, or aggressively bold (especially when you’re being a bold simpleton). It’s obviously none of the nonsense you’ve typed. And these people exist and have done for centuries, so it’s clearly not batshit either 🙄. It’s real, and they wouldn’t give two shits that you personally don’t believe it - you, actually, embody the type of ignorance that makes their life a living curse. Why be so dismissive of something you don’t like? Wonder who that reminds me of…

I suspect it’s probably some sort of chromosomal combination, or genomal “defect” that combines element of a male human with elements of a female human in the same body. Is that beyond your imagination? Or can there only ever be two possible choices, both of them absolute at all times, and natural selection must be 100% perfect at all times, that glitches and variations can never occur even though they do every single day up and down the entire length and breadth of the human genome? You do a huge disservice to the hundreds of thousands of people who have gone before you who lived with their “defective” bodies and souls without making the sort of fuss that has this current generation all riled up. Ffs, I know standards on MN have dropped but this is something else.

She’s 100% right and Glamour’s response is awful.

And even if there were, so fucking what? Those with female bodies are still a definable and cohesive group that require certain rights and protections based on having those female bodies. Absolutely nothing to do with validation or affirmation or self image; women who claim to be men still have those rights.

There is absolutely zero evidence of any of that, however

PS it's worth noting that the dolls are on A cover, not THE cover. They've done a cover starring each of the WOTY. I think I counted 8.

The picture says "women of the year" and there are no women.
who's misrepresenting? Well except Glamour, who could simply have put "Transwomen of the year"

It's still really difficult to find the image on X unless you're actively searching for it, and even then I can only find JK's tweet and one image from Glamour which isn't that one. Most (as in the vast majority) of their WOTY posts are other people. On Instagram the Dolls occupy 2/45 of their WOTY posts. And I highly doubt that JK follows them otherwise, so she must have gone looking for it.

I conclude that JK ought to put the phone down and get a life.

Anyway, I'm off to the newsagents and then to get on with mine! I'll see whether there is actually a print version. Maybe it'll come back with all the publicity that Mr Galbraith has given it!

An author whose books are so popular she is a billionaire (I read though that her charitable donations keeps her under billionaire status?), a woman who started and funds a rape crisis centre, who helped women out of Afghanistan and who gave £10m to fund a Regenerative Neurology Clinic at the RIE hospital in Edinburgh should ‘get a life’ 😂.

I’d give my right arm to have her life! I’d swap in a heartbeat. Glad to see you’re taking your own advice and popping to the shops.

Apparently for some women, men being on the cover makes them WANT to go and buy it, even if they haven't for years. Bizzare.

Fancy cramming in any more self-righteous buzzwords so we all get to know what a Good Person™ you are?

On X.
