JK new post on her reasons for writing about gender

I see Emma's announced the equivalent of 'let them eat cake' and 'all lives matter'

I've emailed but will also post on here in case she reads here.

I'm extremely grateful for her bravery and writing her arguments in a way I could never hope to achieve.

Thank you Jo, thank you.

And there’s a post on that Buzzfeed article comparing her to a white supremacist. That’s fucking horrific given what’s happening in the world right now. As if a man of colour being murdered because of his skin colour is in any way comparable to JK Rowling saying sex is real and women are made vulnerable when they are not permitted to separate themselves from men.

What a fantastic and articulate response. Whilst avidly reading many threads on this subject on mumsnet I have never been emboldened to comment through fear and this article has finally brought me out of the woodwork.

Emma is a silly girl not fit to lick JKs boots.

I’ve just read her post. I could cry. She’s not said anything wrong or cruel and the abuse she’s getting is horrible. Buzzfeed described it more or less as ‘JK Rowling’s transphobic essay.’ How?? She’s poured her heart out in that essay, spoken about her own painful experiences.

Nobody listens to women and girls. Nobody cares about what happens to our bodies.

I also wonder if at some point she will come to regret promoting Mermaids. There are already a lot of replies on that particular tweet.

Emma is extremely privileged, is from a well off family. I believe that she went to Brown university. Of course she doesn't give a toss about a woman being gang raped and murdered on bus in India, nor does she care that in some parts of the world women and girls are STILL treated like pariahs and unclean when they are on their period.

Well she is a women's ambassador for the UN, so you would think she would have an understand of the sex based oppression of women around the world. But apparently not. Apparently people are whoever they say they are. Which makes you wonder why those girls who can't go to school because they have a vagina don't just identify as boys?

You rock Jk.

Of course she doesn't give a toss about a woman being gang raped and murdered on bus in India, nor does she care that in some parts of the world women and girls are STILL treated like pariahs and unclean when they are on their period. Why should Emma care about the number of women murdered in the UK every bloody week or the women and children forced in to sex slavery or that young girls suffer from horrific genital mutilation every day of every year because it makes it better for their future husbands.

Why should she care? Those things won't get Emma and her ilk likes or popularity so why bother. It's not cause the cause de jour.

And don't mention that what can not be named... that the drugs they give the children to block puberty actually are harmful, or that girls are mutilating their bodies. I could go on but I'm tired and I cannot be arsed to rant anymore.

It seems your feminism includes misogyny, Emma.

On a side note it felt very good to unfriend a few people on social media for sharing DR post.

Ah, Emma, you silly little girl...

I lurk here as an antidote to the wall to wall wokeness I see on Facebook. I am not brave enough to out myself as GC (even to the friend I know follows Fair Play for Women too). I have no one to discuss my concerns with, as DH is dangerously woke too. I've never even been brave enough to post here before. And I've never loved JKR more than I do right now. Just a wonderful, wonderful human, to whom I am so grateful for saying what I am too scared to say too.

Looks like Emma tweeted 1 minute after I said I was quietly optimistic regarding her.

Now I think about it, thank you too to all the insightful women who informed her when she looked into the issues.

Pretty sure JK must be among us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

There's a writer who has tweeted that "she just doesn't understand why JK has done this", then in the next breath, "oh look, my new book is out for pre order"

Oh look here comes a bangwagon I can hitch my wago to so I can sell my shit.

Seems there is more than a few of them out there. Its remarkably cynical and very very neo-capitalist.

Another one here whose eyes welled up at the end of her post. I have shared it on facebook (not afraid for my job) and emailed my thanks. What a strong, amazing woman she is. Thank you Jo

Twitter is bizarre.
People not understanding that the US is not the UK. Different rights etc.

Sick of this unfounded claim that trans women are somehow the most oppressed people in whole world bullshit.
Read one women say that the poor trans women suffer from the most horrific misogyny.

Here in the UK, why are a tiny minority who have an issue with THEIR biology telling the rest of us we must not only stop using our words, but change our entire belief system to suit their narrative.

If someone is truely triggered by a sanitary towel because it reminds them of the biology the can't escape from, then we don't need 'inclusive language', we need better mental health care.

This was my favourite reply

You misspelled ignorant dumbass! Sales of her books will soar to new heights, and you will still be a dipshit

Ah but Emma what about the children who transition and then choose to de-transition, but are left with broken bodies ? What are they ? Traitors to the cause ? Ignored because they don't fit with the current ideology ? Dismissed because they no longer matter ? Abused for no longer believing ? Told to shut up because like women, their viewpoint is no longer a valid one ?

JKR you are a bloody star
