Just wondering if anyone's seen this on Twitter. Quite a funny, interesting thread, eg

#AskDanielRadcliffe When was the last time you showed solidarity with trans activists by dating a trans woman, and what steps are you taking to unlearn your genital preferences?

Is the first one that showed up when I clicked. Sorry if it's old news.

Wow Titiana that makes for interesting reading.

So much hand wringing and throwing under buses. She loves the books and the message of love, acceptance and self esteem and understanding, but the creator of this world has been denounced a witch so therefore none of it was real and we must all turn our backs from it.

I wonder if she realises that there is no amount of self flagelation or degredation a woman can display to appease the people who are now denouncing JKR?

www.marieclaire.com/culture/a32871234/harry-potter-jk-rowling-anti-trans-comments/.

That is what the writer is saying? It reads sopoorly written, waffling and handmaiden particularly with the grovelling 'i'm cis so shouldn't really have an opinion on this'....

TitianaTitsling · 16/06/2020 15:29

Meant 'she is evil AND should be separated'! Mind boggling!

JemimaShore · 16/06/2020 14:29

that JK is 'evil' should be separated from the Harry Potter franchise as she is a TERF

Ha ha - Yeah... they can't do that... it's hers Grin

TitianaTitsling · 16/06/2020 14:23

Sorry posted wrong thread!

TitianaTitsling · 16/06/2020 14:17

Marie Claire magazine is clearly on the TRA. side. Just had a link pop up by one of their writers that JK is 'evil' should be separated from the Harry Potter franchise as she is a TERF. Not the Marie Claire l read as a teen any more!!

The person at the altar of these views has no basis intellectually within the fight for feminism apart from her money and platform

Crikey how classist can you get? You have to be an intellectual now to understand feminism?

I was thought you just had to be a woman.

It's absolutely killing some people that powerful, financially untouchable woman with a platform is speaking.

They would so much rather give permission to speak to women with no power, no money and no platform.

And yet, women are sad for posting about their lives

If you want to see the misogyny and male supremacism perfectly encapsulated in this movement, that believes females aren't really proper humans anyway and the only good females are the ones serving the real humans.... well there it is, courtesy of 'enjoy your erasure' Shon.

Gncq · 16/06/2020 10:59

expect some doctors and lawyers are up in arms about it Grin

DuDuDuLangaLangaBingBong · 16/06/2020 10:50

Women will have moved on by then anyway!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/06/2020 10:35

Paris Lees and 'the allies' are planning on flooding the #askdanielradcliffe with nice questions

Grin I'm sure DannyRad needs protecting from the bad sarcastic women.

Thanks Talking x

Has his mum woken him up yet?

TalkingtoLangClegintheDark · 16/06/2020 09:52

Ooh yes, that’s good Dances

But then we’ll get the bleating about post menopausal women etc

All those who could be reasonably expected to menstruate at some point in their lives?

Catchy

@Smilethoyourheartisbreaking

Talking that tribe has been used for years. Shows you are not needed. Thank you
Can anyone translate this for me? WTF?

Along with “MN can check”, and all the other gems, I’m now wondering if Smile’s whole sojourn here wasn’t in fact a piece of surrealist performance art. Or absurdist. Or shiteist.

Mamma mia.

@FantaOra

I like this tweet on the hashtag

Has a menstruator ever been President of the U.S? I just googled and all I could find are cites saying all 45 have been men, but that means nothing. Can someone plz help me unlock this mystery?

As men menstruate it is very likely that many men menstrated will presidenting. Perhaps they can tell us how they managed their periods whilst on Airforce 1 if they ran out of tampons in the air on the way somewhere with no shops handy?

Excellent!
Dances · 16/06/2020 09:42

It's a brilliant hashtag, so many examples of the reality of biologically female.

It astounds me that the TRAs can't just STFU and ignore it, because it will go away, but no, they must control women speaking at all times

JemimaShore · 16/06/2020 09:19

Of course! - TRAs can't have women talking about female biology Shock

TitianaTitsling · 16/06/2020 09:16

Paris Lees and 'the allies' are planning on flooding the #askdanielradcliffe with nice questions and also report the # as one of hate....

backseatcookers · 16/06/2020 07:32

And has no history at all for fighting for women. Apart from this.

You really are making yourself look very silly @Smilethoyourheartisbreaking.

She has a long established history (20 years) of working with charities focused on supporting women. A couple of examples:

JKR was the Ambassador and then the President of the National Council for One-Parent Families, now Gingerbread.

In 2000, Rowling established the Volant Charitable Trust, which uses its annual budget to combat poverty and social inequality, with a particular emphasis on women and children.

So the mature thing to do would be to admit you got that wrong.

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 16/06/2020 07:10

MN can check

Hmm
exLtEveDallas · 16/06/2020 06:54

It’s still going strong this morning I see. Some sad and some horrific posts, but the majority are wonderfully sarcastic. I do like the way women can express themselves without resulting to death threats.

I expect some doctors and lawyers are up in arms about it mind.
