JK Rowling's has written another post

" From her own words, I take Rowling’s position to be that the sex one is assigned at birth is the primary and determinative factor of one’s gender, regardless of one’s gender identity—a position that I categorically reject. The science is clear and conclusive: Sex is not binary."

The "sex is not binary" quote from Kerry Kennedy is a link, which links to an Anne Fausto-Sterling article, who herself has rubbished her own article and effectively said sex is binary and that this was a joke that nobody should pay attention to.

How embarrassing.

But yes, sunlight.

And this final line from JK:

"... but no award or honour, no matter my admiration for the person for whom it was named, means so much to me that I would forfeit the right to follow the dictates of my own conscience."

Fantastic.

She adressed that «like» earlier, I believe. She said she was taking screenshots and that accidently pressed the «like» button.

Only this week I had someone write that the voice of a sexual abuse victim and her stance on not wanting to share women only changing rooms (because of trauma) could not trump her trans voice. In effect: a cis voice was less than a trans voice. Not sure about that logic!
Disclaimer: I dont Get the cis-crap and never use it, but these were the words used.

Woke up to see JKR trending on twitter and my heart sank a bit expecting the pile-on of yet more vile abuse and lies about her. Then I read her statement and felt a bit taller.

She absolutely wonderful. I truly believe that in years from now statues will be placed in cities of her as one of the bravest, principled and resistant women of out time.

Thank you JKR

Thank you JKR. For standing up again for what I know is right. You are a shining star in all this madness.

She is everything we could hope for. She even tells them to shove their award up their arse in a classy and dignified way!

She's such an incredible example of what it means to have moral integrity. Alongside her brilliant creative achievements, she should be known far and wide for her courage. It's made me so sad to read the pathetic attacks on her by moral cowards and idiots. She responds with such grace and dignity, rises so far above them that they can't even see her.

She’s an utterly amazing woman. I’d follow her anywhere.

I’ve said it before - if she ever considers running for political office, I’ll be there in a heartbeat, and I’m sure many, many other women (and men) feel the same.

Genuinely couldn’t love her more. She’s amazing, such integrity in stark contrast to those compromising their integrity for woke cookies.

A magnificent statement from a great woman. But reading the science / fact denying statement from the organisation is quite chilling. There are no lengths that people will go to to eradicate women's very biology and identity.

Thank you JKR.

I bought the first book when her first statement was made and she started getting backlash. And her second when she made the second statement. I then read them and enjoyed them so much I greedily bought (and devoured!) the next two!

It personifies what she's doing.

I see her as totally over the backlash. Battle scarred, but even more determined.

So many women feel the same. This IS the 'right side of history'. It's obvious. And the grim anger propelling us all simply doesn't diminish. Ever.

She is amazing. We need someone on board like her and she is proving to be more incredible than I imagined she could be. It's so rare you hear of someone truly standing up for a cause.
I can only hope she does help people wake up quicker than what's currently happening.

I stand with JK Rowling. A woman of intelligence and integrity.

Love what she's doing.

This is so sad,poor JKR. But in handing back the award she is doing the very thing she was awarded it for, standing up for an ideal.

It's one thing to be misinformed. It's quite another to be so globally public about it.

It appears as though this women isn't interested in the actual truth or the issues JK is talking about.

Wilfully blind.

JK disassociating from the organisation sounds sensible irrespective of the trans issue.

Amazing woman. She is eloquent and has integrity. 👏🏻👏🏻🙏

Woman of The Year.

I’m so grateful for her and to her. SO grateful.

I honestly can't believe she reacts with such grace. If someone was out there telling blatant lies about what I said and I was JKR I'd be invoking lawyers fast. She is a far greater woman than I am.

Again she writes a heartfelt piece that gets to the very nub of the issue - untested experimentation on children and women's rights.

JKR

She sums it up so well. I am positive that in the next few years, there are going to be so many young people suddenly stuck in a limbo of sex and gender, not knowing what they truly are as they have been pushed too fast into transitioning.
I wish people would jump off the bandwagon. It's going to lose a wheel or two very soon.

After all the crap that has been thrown at her - the misogyny, the rape threats and death threats, for her to still speak up and not be silenced shows real courage.

Great article.

Although I'm so unhappy, on JKR's behalf' that she should have been put through the appalling injustice and trauma of false accusation and misogynistic abuse, it is hard to think of anyone who is more able than she is to transform these attacks on her into something that will be counterproductive for the aggressive advocates of gender ideology.

'Nonetheless, she persisted' could have been coined for her. She is articulate and powerful enough to keep coming back strongly no matter what is thrown at her. And the best thing is that her evident compassion, demonstrated in her charitable activities over the years, continues to shine through despite all provocation.

Just maintaining that kindness, through everything, is powerful in itself. Eventually, surely, everyone who continues to attack her for 'transphobia' will be forced to confront the absolute unrealism of their stance.

I can't face reading any of this yet today, just reading this thread makes me feel sick. Poor JKR. I will read later, and probably send another email & card to JKR in support.
