She truly is a wonderful woman. I admire her so much.

TheSingingKettle49 · 28/06/2020 17:32

It must be so infuriating to the TRAs that she is such a powerful woman that she can’t be silenced and she can’t be forced into apologising, that whatever she says will be reported around the world and that if she never sold another book she would live the rest of her life in luxury.

SunsetBeetch · 28/06/2020 17:32

Oh she's fantastic!

hypernormal · 28/06/2020 17:31

She outclasses all of her critics by miles. So much respect for this woman.

Oh it didn’t unroll all 9 tweets 🙄

She isn't sitting on the sidelines anymore. Good. Let's have this debate.

BigBadVoodooHat · 28/06/2020 17:26

What a waste of a tweet. At least argue your point!

Ah, but to do that you have to have an actual point, and the intellect to articulate it.

ErrolTheDragon · 28/06/2020 17:26

Quite funny in a way, the few random men scattered along the thread impotently squeaking 'stop it'.Grin

CaveMum · 28/06/2020 17:25

@StandUpStraight it’s a thread of 9 Tweets. It’s been unrolled here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1277263814552100866.html

I hardly saw any negative remarks. I guess the bats must have flown in later.

justanotherneighinparadise · 28/06/2020 17:24

The Tweet didn’t attach 🙄

The number of people that have just written 'shut up' as a response. It's so mature and they will definitely ensure they get what they want

My DC had outgrown ‘Shut up!’ as a damning retort by the time they were in year 2! Grin

teaandtoast123 · 28/06/2020 17:24

She is truly amazing.

TheSingingKettle49 · 28/06/2020 17:24

The amount of people commenting shut up or you’re a transphobe in the replies makes me really doubt the literacy and critical thinking skills of this country.

They seem to think just repeating transwomen are women will make it true, they may as well be saying black is white.

justanotherneighinparadise · 28/06/2020 17:23

Omg that’s just made me cry, she’s AMAZING!!! I just showed the thread to DP as he’s on Twitter and he cannot believe the hate she’s been subjected to. Honestly dumbfounded when I showed him this tweet.

No, if you’re out there, we love you and support you.

PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg · 28/06/2020 17:17

She's inspirational. & yes, every narcissistic howl of rage in response makes her case for her.

StandUpStraight · 28/06/2020 17:16

Can someone please post a screenshot? I have blocked myself from twitter for the good of my sanity...

GreyShadow · 28/06/2020 17:15

OMG I'm crying at her bravery!! I just love her. Thank you so much Jo.

SarahTancredi · 28/06/2020 17:15

JemimaShore · 28/06/2020 17:14

Oh my god, I am just in awe of her dignity.

Thank you JK, you are wonderful Thanks

BigBadVoodooHat · 28/06/2020 17:14

It’ll be interesting to see how KS responds to the gauntlet that’s been thrown down. It will certainly be damning if, hot on the heels of sacking RLD for tweeting someone else’s words, he does not sanction LRM for his own hateful words.

StarStarTeachMe · 28/06/2020 17:12

She is inspirational. I'm sorry that she has to speak out, but ever so grateful that she chooses to.

@ItsAllGoingToBeFine

That is a remarkable response. I'm sure it will elicit howls of rage from the usual mob.
It already has. And every squeal and vile insult just makes our case for us.
