I wrote to her too Smile

She's impeccable in her timing and choice of words, of course.

So glad to hear this! Brave women, both. The way things are going it seems as though lots more of us are going to have to get braver and stand up for each other.

JRKismyhero · 15/07/2021 17:54

I love her

@LizzieSiddal

This thread has reminded me that I haven’t read Troubled Blood yet! I’m off to order.
Oh you lucky sod! It's excellent, I am impatiently awaiting the next one Grin

I love how every now and then she tweets, just to remind everyone that she isn't going to shut up and is going to continue to be a pain in the arse to misogynists everywhere Grin

And yes, it is a bit like Aslan appearing - love her!

Helleofabore · 15/07/2021 17:29

Bloody wonderful! Thank you to both of these truly brave women.

I do so love to see how much a tweet about centring women causes people to start with the name calling and casting aspersions.

Evidence please that Joanne Rowling and Milli are phobic in anyway. Detailed evidence, not just vagueness.

DeRigueurMortis · 15/07/2021 17:03

Excellent 🎉

EishetChayil · 15/07/2021 17:02

Brava!

The strength and persistence of these women is giving me the courage to be more publicly vocal about my gender critical views.

Worldwide2 · 15/07/2021 16:53

Amazing 😍 💕

abettercat · 15/07/2021 16:51

This is so heart warming! Love to see it. Thank you JKR and thank you Milli Hill.

NamechangedGamechanged12 · 15/07/2021 16:46

Love it! Women supporting women. Sex not gender. I just read Milli Hill’s article, it’s so good ✊

EsmaCannonball · 15/07/2021 16:39

Good of the gender ideologues to admit that their terrible treatment of J.K. Rowling was intended to threaten all women into silence. Obstetric violence is violence done to women purely because they are women; because medical staff make assumptions about women they would never make about men; because medical staff get away with treating women in a way they would never treat men; because women's suffering is seen as natural and normal; because women in pain are seen as exaggerating or making a fuss.

J.K.'s got a lot of twopennies so I hope she keeps on spending them like this.

merrymouse · 15/07/2021 16:37

The tweet that linked JKR into the thread is interesting.

It doesn’t question why a women would disassociate herself from ‘the woman label’, why this would be harmful or why imposing a general policy of disassociation from sex harms all women.

Just ‘be kind’ with no reflection on harm caused.

ScreamingBeans · 15/07/2021 16:10

Yay, go JKR!!!!

Terf Island is cheering you on!

When women support women good things happen.

I've just started reading Cuckoo Calling enjoying very much. I've already bought troubled Blood so quite a bit to read.

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel

Hurrah for JKR!

(And if you’re reading, Troubled Blood was splendid. The Strike books get better and better.)

Agree with this.

Am loving Troubled Blood.

Thank you JKR!

herewegogc · 15/07/2021 15:50

JK - you absolute star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

alkanet · 15/07/2021 15:41

Hurrah for JKR!

Purpletomato · 15/07/2021 15:36

She is amazing.

yourhairiswinterfire · 15/07/2021 15:35

I love how salty the misogynists get because they just can't fucking shut this woman up 😘

BlackAlys · 15/07/2021 15:31

This has cheered me up no end
