The police are involved and all three have locked their accounts.

I hope their agents will take note.

It’s a wee shop

I live close to it

@SomepeopleareTERFSgetoverit

She’s so brave.
Indeed. She is a woman of integrity and courage.

@SpindlesWhorl

It's the official address (an office) for fan mail, *@GreyhoundG1rl*. Posters were saying they might like to send a message or card of support. I've sent an email of thanks. (Which I have done previously and I had a lovely reply from one of her staff.)
I apologise.

@DomPom47

Maybe I am just too stupid - can someone help me explain the logic of people who are describing her as transphobic. What has she said that in their mind make her transphobic - I don’t understand.
It's quite simple, @DomPom47. JK Rowling does not believe that a transwoman is a woman. She believes a transwoman is a man.

A man deserving of respect, to live their best life free or harassment and judgement, but still a man. Not a woman.

@littlbrowndog

I saw that spindle. You were just trying to help let people know where to send cards and stuff

It’s a P.O. Box. She doesn’t live there

I'd imagine that JKR's PO box would have to be so large that it could easily house a small family Grin

@Charliesgotachocolatefactory

What a magnificent woman. I keep thinking I can’t admire her any more and then she does something like this and it turns out I can.
She's awesome, isn't she.

Just the best. #IStandWithJKRowling.

Let's hope that Police Scotland put just as much effort into dealing with these people as they do into prosecuting people like Marion Miller.

WinterIcelandicPony · 22/11/2021 16:03

@SpindlesWhorl was clear it was for messages of support - to a publisher I assume.

Gumbomambo · 22/11/2021 16:02

What really upset me was that her family live there, they must be so worried about themselves and her. I believe a person can be strong as an ox but not when it comes to their family? What were these three idiots trying to prove? It was a terrible terrible lack of judgement on their part.There are some very unpleasant messages on that thread and they show the livid angry misogyny that runs through that movement.

SpindlesWhorl · 22/11/2021 16:01

@Forgotthebins

SpindlesWhorl are you an idiot or reckless? Do you really think she lives at a PO box, and if you do, why are you trying to re-circulate her address when people are using it to intimidate her?
It's on her website, for people to send messages to her. I've sent a message of support, as per the discussion on the thread prior to that post. It goes to her office, and the office filters the messages for her.

I'm far from an idiot, cheers.

I've been very supportive of JKR on this thread from the start.

RedToothBrush · 22/11/2021 16:01

if you are really determined to cyber bully someone - going for the richest woman in the UK, who could easily use her lawyers to fold you like the proverbial deckchair, is the most intelligent option?

The mesagae here is very definitely don't fuck with JKR.

Indeed another high profile campaigner took great care this week to avoid saying anything that might unleash JKR... It didn't go unnoticed.

The Streisand effect is something else isn't it?

Journeyofthedragons · 22/11/2021 16:00

What do you think that screenshot proves?

That the statement "You talking about the Marion Millar who didn't doxx anyone?" you made is incorrect.

PicassoInAtoolbox · 22/11/2021 16:00

I'm so angry about this harassment of JKR I don't really know what to do with myself. I've just written her a card voicing my support and gratitude, which I'll post tomorrow. I hope she gains some strength from our support. I'll also be writing to the agents of the 3 TRAs.

Much as I'm enjoying these spirited attempts to derail, this thread is about JKR and these three fuckwits, not Marion Millar and what she did or didn't do.

twilightermummy · 22/11/2021 15:56

She’s such a hero. We’re so lucky to have her. My heart could burst at how much I admire her

Same.

Supersimkin2 · 22/11/2021 15:55

show name = Death Drop - just saying.

YetAnotherWalk · 22/11/2021 15:54

What a classy lady. Thanks JKR

lilly7221w · 22/11/2021 15:54

JKR. A strong, powerful, intelligent WOMEN!

@BoreOfWhabylon

Mail has this Holly Stars is a popular drag queen with her own Amazon Prime series. She is also a stand-up comedian, comedy writer, cabaret host and seen as one of the UK's most popular drag talents.

She is the writer and star of west end show Death Drop, currently embarking on its first UK tour and also produces and presents a monthly Soho cabaret.

Richard Energy, one of the other activists, is a drag king and comedian who performs across London. He has appeared in several contests and is considered a growing star in the scene.

Georgia Frost, the third activist, is an actress who has appeared in BBC productions including Casualty and sitcom The Other One.

I think the present tense for any of that is going to look a bit optimistic in six months. Grin

Career suicide! Fuckwits.
