'If you didn't look closely, you'd believeper Uproxxthat I said J.K. Rowling's opinion on trans women is shitty and hateful. I didn't say that. The author, Josh Kurp said that. This is an editorial masquerading as information.'

Then he says:

'My opinion is that Jo Rowling is wrong about trans women. Leave shitty and hateful out of it, please.'

Now, he is entitled to that opinion ad has expressed it respectfully so that's fine.... But anyone else get the impression that he has not really understood what she wrote.

She wrote in her essay about abusive men, and how they will use self ID to abuse women.

She wrote about freedom of speech and shutting down women 's voices.

And women' s sports?

THOSE are the really important parts if the essay, Stephen. What's you opinion on that?

I believe his daughter might be genderqueer? This must influence his post of view

I don't really mind if he has a difference of opinion, but of course, why tweet that NOW. It has stirred up another twit storm of abuse for JKR. I have been reading through the tweets just now, the usual, and ALL the same comments and arguments from ten months ago, I can't even be bothered to get involved myself... .. Although, a much more even 50/50 split then there was....

Interesting how he doesn't like people extrapolating from things he said into our hyperbole...

His opinion is that he can afford to be kind because it doesn't really affect him.

My opinion of him is through the cellar and falling.
