Seems no one wants her cast into the flames like the mob on twitter.

Ooh what about KiwiFarms?
What they sayin?

BatShite · 13/06/2020 08:02

Thanks. I frequent a few forums and have seen similar, but they tend to get deleted..and sometimes the poster banned for not demonizing a woman for knowing what a woman is.

Will read a bit more of these now. Lipstickally is possibly my fave site to lurk at the min. Won't join as it seems to be a space for black women, so its clearly not meant to me. But I still read the amazing women there, a lot.

Nonny.

They're too chicken to do that Grin

Thanks for these links.

The TheColi one is funny. Get the clear sense they not only like JKR, but respect her also.

Oh this is brilliant. Thanks for sharing. It's great to see a tiny fraction of what's being said in other online spaces by people who also live in the real world. Smile

Some of the responses made me laugh out loud. Shame we wouldn't be allowed to repost some of them here. I mean Mumsnet is such a hotbed of transphobia and hostility towards trans people... That's why we wouldn't be allowed to say the sort of things being said elsewhere.

Hey keyboard warriors! Don't be shy, I know you're lurking in the background. WAVES

I take it all of you will be rushing over to TheColi and NeoGaf to wag your fingers at the men there and tell them off for their words of literal violence and how they need to do better, right? Right? Let us know how your exploits as brave keyboard warriors go in 'educating' men about their 'transphobia'. You could even post on Twitter about how disappointed you are in them.

Jamnotjelly · 13/06/2020 04:51

Me too - a long way down. From a poster on neogaf:

TERFs are women who don’t think men should be in control of feminism

Too darn right.

Thanks for sharing OP.

I've fallen down the rabbit hole with these!

TheFormerPorpentiaScamander · 13/06/2020 04:25

Interesting reading, thanks.

Although I'm confused by a comment on one of them linking BLM and trans issues. They are separate things surely?

My friend in America (who I fell out with over this) thinks JKR is 'finished' because no one agrees with her Hmm
