In my honest opinion JK Rowling is...

The TRA religion are at it again prompted by one of the Witchfinder lackeys and his now deleted tweets.

Well so are we.

In my honest opinion, JK Rowling is brilliant, wise, beautiful. A protector of children, a Shield-maiden for women. She has shown more bravery and grace than the cowards around her. She never bows to their rape and death threats. She's probably the safest person around children that I can imagine. Especially the vulnerable and confused young people who have been persuaded by social media that they have been born in the wrong body and who have been encouraged to amputate body parts and take unnecessary and dangerous medication.

She's the definition of courage.
She is Lady Lionheart.

JKR is an absolute fucking legend.

GibbonsGoatsGibbons · 05/04/2022 01:38

An extraordinary philanthropist which seems to come from her extraordinary capacity for compassion.

Also my & my teen daughter's hero.

(But my god would you please write a bit faster woman I need more Robin!!)

I'm going to go with...funny.

Yes, tough, brave & principled, but also she's absolutely on point every time with a precise, good humoured & quick witted take down. Very funny, & sharp as a tack.

PerkyBlinder · 05/04/2022 01:22

The complete embodiment of truly stunning abd brave.

I don’t know how she mentally copes with the constant onslaught of targeted hate and still speaks with wisdom, empathy, and the odd very witty one liner!

She is a true legend 🌟💪🏻

IheartJKRowling · 05/04/2022 01:16

My user name says everything. I have total respect for her. She is a 21st Century Emmeline Pankhurst, defending women and showing strength in the face of vile misogynistic trolls.

A national treasure.

A true heroine.

An amazing role model.

A genuinely brave woman.

Pro woman NOT anti trans.

Bellagio40 · 05/04/2022 01:07

She is absolutely incredible

Blossomtoes · 05/04/2022 00:53

Amazing, admirable woman.

Courageous, Intelligent, Compassionate and Hilarious. Love her work and appreciate her standing up for women and for what is right and fair.

I don't blame people who think she is wrong (people are entitled to their own opinions) but I do wish they would stop ascribing ill intent towards Transpeople despite all the evidence that she is coming from a place of concern, not just for women and girls but also for non-gender conforming teens and transexual adults. She has been crystal clear about her motivation and how her views in this are formed, her work shows how seriously she takes prejudice and discrimination.

What happened to accepting that people could honestly and ethically hold different opinions about a topic?

"The world isn't split into good people and death eaters."

Steadfast, compassionate and honest. Creator of Neville Lingbottom, my favourite HP character. A friend to women and girls. I'm sure she's on here. Thank you JKR, so very much xxx

Fucking awesome.

Scorchedterf · 05/04/2022 00:15

So strong and principled, she’s a woman we can all admire. I wish I was as brave as she is.

@Eeksteek

I thing she’s a wonderful champion of women and I admire her tremendously, but I do think she’s anti-trans, and it feels pretty pointed. It’s clear she thinks that it isn’t possible to be deeply feminist and pro trans and while I can see her point, I don’t agree. Although it’s a lot more complex than can be twittered in 160 characters (or whatever it is), so it’s probably a bust.

Have you read her essay?

I know,, right?!
Turning myself inside out with cringe at some of these comments!
All bow down, I have a mental image of posters on the floor doing the Wayne's World '' We're not worthy, we're not worthy! '' at her feet lol

Lol

@Furx

She’s the Neville of, her own story

The true hero who Did the hardest thing, and stood up to ‘friends‘.
That’s worth 5 points and the house cup in anyones book.

Hear, hear!

…the most talented and generous woman in the world, adored by millions and unappreciated by fools.

This
Particularly the last bit.

GoodJanetBadJanet · 04/04/2022 23:45

Hello there can I ask you your opinion upon the death threats she gets, please? Thank you.

Hello to you too.
Seriously? What do I think about death threats?!
I think anyone sending death threats is beyond disgusting /vile.
Can I ask your opinion on why just because I think this thread is cringe worthy and ses boot licking that that means.. what, that I'll automatically fine with death threats?!
Thank you.
