JK Rowling

YANBU. There is no safe option to use in regards to someone who describes themselves as nonbinary. Which is likely to be part of their reason for doing so, imo - so much delicious power in making everyone walk on eggshells.

I don't place any responsibility on JKR or any individual to "come out" or "nail their colours to the mast" or anything like that. But I'm always pleased when they do.

And I think I'll re-iterate here, for the record, that I think JK Rowling is fantastic. A great role model.

This is probably my favourite diversion. If she does 'come out', I think I know what will have happened. She'll have been a good liberal woman, like so many of us, who clicked a like on something she agreed with and felt the wrath of the faux-righteous.
She capitulated because she didn't quite grasp the breadth of the madness and had an eye to the many young people who follow her so thought she was doing the right thing.

But she's a clever woman, so I really do have hope that she's been doing some serious mountaineering in the past few weeks especially.

I have no idea what fujoshi is - but I'm so sad so many young women are going this road. Going for the double mastectomy and testosterone - rather than fighting for womankind's right to equality. We were so close .

She will never turn out to be against women's rights. She wrote Robin Ellacott.

Fat fingers my arse! She's with us.

I'm mostly sad for them, as absurd as the whole thing is. And also frustrated in a big sisterly "please snap out of it before you hurt yourself any more than you already have" sort of way.

Every time I see fujoshi (look it up, it explains a lot about why we're seeing so many young "trans men" calling themselves gay men) throwing a tantrum about this stuff I want to respond with "Yuri on Ice wasn't a documentary, love".

I'm torn between wanting to snort with laughter at this and feeling terribly sad for these young women. One double mastectomy later, and discovering that buff straight men don't want to sleep with you because you've butchered yourself, and buff gay men never wanted to sleep with you because you have a vulva. Because you can bet your bottom dollar that the concept of breaking the cotton jockstrap will never take off in the way the concept of breaking the cotton ceiling has.

JK Rowling was always going to be gender critical. Let's face it - we all knew.

Just like Glinner & Robert Webb, - ha, none of us really took the "fat fingers' thing seriously did we?

She's my heroine. A great writer. I love all her books. She's far too intelligent to be not be gender critical. Come on - we've read her books.

J K Rowling is an intelligent and decent woman.

Of course she’s a terf!

(This one is called Hope despite apparently hating everyone and everything, but especially women.)

Anime has a lot to answer for!

OMG that second like of JK’s is utter class 😂💪

great, all those pringles stored around my middle will be useful someday then to supplement the cabbage soup. oh heck it will stink

I hope she comes out. Will be very disappointed if she just capitulated again. Come on Jk, you can do it. Stand with us. Lionel shriver has done it. We need these voices.
Jk really should be in the position of being able to do and say what ever she likes, who are these losers thinking they can police and silence one of the richest most influencial women in the country.
Its laughable. They're like spoilt toddlers.

skating on Lake Baikal (in ankle chains)

Some people call them neck collars or wrist shackles but I prefer to think of them as very chunky jewellery and they are free gifts for all of us conscripted to enrolled in the re-education camps of the re-purposed Azkaban and Nurmengard.

It sounds so much fun!

I have an image of JK, glass of something in hand, scrolling through for GC tweets to like.

Go on, go on, go on.,,

When I'm feeling gloomy and grumpy I sometimes wonder if Ivan could restore my optimism. Or maybe he would be an annoying Pollyanna character to be around. But skating on Lake Baikal in great company and lots of cabbage soup. Very tempting. And I'd lose some weight. Win win.

Glad to oblige Bird

And cabbage soup. Think of the cabbage soup. Recipe c/o One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

And think how all that lovely cabbage will further develop young Ramekin's farting ability.

There'll be skating on Lake Baikal (in ankle chains) and all the moss you can dig out of the permafrost, Bowl, it'll be great!

That's the one, Iusedtoban, thankyou

Ooh. She's responded with another like of Janice Turner's response. This is hotting up!

There’s a huge opportunity for JKR here. Think of the story lines:

“Draco left the Slytherin common room and headed towards the girls’ bedroom. He was determined to finally see this through, he didn’t care what Crabbe and Goyle said, it was his right. He crossed the threshold, only for the Sex Determination Charm to repel him backwards, causing facial hair to instantly sprout from his chin. ‘Wait till my father hears about this!’ he yelled angrily at no one in particular. ‘He will have Dumbledore out of this place! Wizards are witches!’”
