Thank you JK Rowling.

Amazingly intelligent woman. Thank Christ she's on our side...

I'm categorically not crying.

Yaaaaas! Im not ashamed to say I welled up reading that. The genie is out of the bottle. Thank you Jo!

I wonder how many of the Twitterati, who are incapable of reading anything more than 280 characters in one go, will even bother to read the whole thing?

Amazing. In tears. Wonderful woman.

MrGHardy · 10/06/2020 17:30

This is absolutely brilliant! She addresses so eloquently so many topics people have been silenced for for so long.

BaronessSnippyPantsofCroneArmy · 10/06/2020 17:29

Just everything I ever wanted to articulate about this ideology.

This is the best thing she has ever written, and I say that as an admirer of her work. So powerful, such clarity, bloody hell it has made me cry. I need to read it again.

Also, she must read MN.

Michaelbaubles · 10/06/2020 17:27

That’s amazing. So well-argued, clear and passionate. I’m sure the flashing anime gifs she’ll receive in return will be equally well-crafted.

BothALarkAndAnOwl · 10/06/2020 17:27

Fabulous piece. Wonder how much grief I’ll get if I share it on FB?!

I'm not playing a violin for you, jK Rowling, not even a teeny tiny one. I'm playing the biggest, most beautiful, most awesome great CELLO for you. A concerto of life, joy and respect for an awesome, articulate woman.

Harry Potter did not make me cry. This did.

Thank you.

Just off to read it. Thanks for the link.

I have just got half way through that and come here to see if it was up.

I expect an equally researched and reasoned piece from Mr Radcliffe (and for him to have done it himself Hmm )

SnuggyBuggy · 10/06/2020 17:23

I agree amazing and the abuse she has received on twitter is disgusting

OhMsBeliever · 10/06/2020 17:20

Yes. Amazing. A shame she's had to reveal so much of herself, but as always, her writing is brilliant.
