The awful trend on Twitter

No translation needed here, but I think we have a winner in the "unhinged TRA" category.

reason
sensibly
empathy
calm

It is very easy for T**Fs to make a show of having these things, as they speak from platforms of privilege, unaffected by the transphobic rhetoric they spout

It’s harder to be calm when you’re a trans person under attack.

Mimmymum explaining why one side in this debate are the angry, aggressive ones, it's because we use the "language of privilege"

On twitter, the adult baby takeover is never off.

You're not wrong

The ridiculous and disproportionate reaction, littered as it is with death threats and rage, really does present the activists as out of touch and unhinged.

It's interesting, because they have no argument, they never have had. And the more pushback there appears to be, the more evident this becomes. To everybody.

The only recourse they have is more rage, more fury and more self evident nonsense like 'her career is over'.

There comes a point where everybody else realises this. And the fear and worry over reaction dissipates, as it becomes more and more toothless.

My pre-ordered copy is due to be delivered today. I didn't know about the cross-dressing plotline when I ordered it, but it would have made no difference.

Nice to see Robbie Coltrane supporting JKR although he understandably doesn't want to get too involved because of the inevitable avalanche of hate.

Twitter is a swirling cesspit of hate but I suppose at least it helps to identify the misogynists and the criminally unstable.

You've got activists demanding that the Oscars make sure trans people are proportionally represented, but when JK does it they fly off the handle.

[quote Ereshkigalangcleg]Neville ‘I support sex workers and LGBT people’ Southall has now weighed in on it with a sex-based insult (‘wicked witch’) about JKR. Why do these woke types even bother to include the L in the LGBT abbreviation any more when they’re so plainly misogynistic?

The adult babies takeover is off

If the book is honestly just about a 'transvestite serial killer', its odd that the Guardian didn't mention this in the review.

JKR writes a crime novel presumably set in the UK and that's contributing to the murder of transwomen in Brazil? But of a stretch.

Also interesting to note that the person banging on about violence against transwomen has in fact got a criminal record for violence. Whereas, to the best of my knowledge, JKR does not. Although she has been a victim of violence.

What messed up world do we live in where JKR is considered by many to be the villain.

Because it never happens that a man pretends to be a woman to get access to women to commit acts of violence.

Paris has a conviction for a violent crime.

So, you know, that's all a bit rich.

God dammit, I'm not even a massive fan of the Strike books - and especially not at 900 pages - but now I feel compelled to buy it just to give Twitter the finger.

It is dogged denial isn’t it!

X post thin

And here is Lees pointing out that the Brazil stats. They are horrific stats.... however it can also be pointed out how many women are also being attacked, killed and raped by males (because the Brazil stats seem to be dominated by male on male killings) in horrific numbers around the world. And some of those attacks are by males who identify as women. To deny this is deliberate blindness.

Paris Lees:
‘JKR’s new book’s about a trans write serial killer. Meanwhile over in the real work the number of transpeople in Brazil has risen by 70% this past year, young transwomen are left to burn in cars and men who kill us (for being trans) are pardoned and sent home’.

Has PL just blamed JKR for contributing the murders committed by men? Such killings PL mentions are tragic - but stop making out that JKR sticking up for reality and woman’s rights has anything to do with it - particularly when there is an epidemic of abuse on women and girls in this country (and in Brazil). It is offensive and sadly utterly predictable.

I am looking forward to buying the book! I have only just started buying JKR novels!

Get it on your phone, then throw your phone down the toilet. Stick it to JK Rowling!

I'm sure I read someone suggest to the eager TRA cancel types that they buy all her books on kindle format and then destroy their kindle, just to teach her a lesson. I know it was a joke, but it's also a very good metaphor for the winsome effectiveness of their behaviour in either convincing fence sitters or punishing the wicked woman.

Keep on keeping on TRAs. It's because of you that I get to take a few days off. Cheers.

Twitter is such a stupid shitpit.

The book is more than 900 pages long, so its very unlikely that any of the people accusing JKR of transphobia have actually read it.

I am very much looking forward to reading the new Srike book. Some people are nuts unless Frankie Boyle has publicly apologised for all the offensive ‘jokes’ and removed them all from streaming platforms I will not care what he has to say. The correct term for these abusive men (thank you ladies of lipstick Alley) is WERMs women exclusionary radical mysoginists.

I have always loved Robbie Coltrane I am pleased he has stuck up for JKR.

We will have a lot of new women along soon. The behaviour of these people is going to tip a lot of people over the edge.

Does anyone know when it's out in paperback? I don't want a hardback copy but I can't wait to read it. I enjoyed the first four books so much.
