Ben Cohen has told her she's wrong. She's told him she doesn't care what he thinks. Grin

"As a ...".

Again, what Simon Fanshawe has said recently about anyone who says "as a ..." is a good point. If anyone says "as a ..." it apparently makes their point more important because of their identity and not because of the point being made. It's an attempt to win arguments based off of identity politics.

And listening to Cohen on "Nolan investigates Stonewall" showed him up to be incredibly incompetent.

Go Rachel Riley!

Riley says she supports trans rights but she also thinks there are sometimes conflicts between trans rights and women’s rights. Obviously, for thinking this, she is now unmentionable. 🙄

He is happy to use a woman's reproductive system for surrogacy but doesn't want women to be allowed to express their own opinions on what happens to their bodies.

Imagine giving a flying fuck what Cohen thinks about anything? No, me neither.

I know! The arrogance to think that she should care Grin

She did that with both feet.

I know Rachel Riley has faced a lot of crap before.

Because the text in screenshot images on this amazingly stupendous new platform is too small to read, this is Benjamin Cohen's reply:

So [Rachel Riley] claims that the "attacks" on [JKR's] trans related rants are due to her stance on antisemitism. As a trans ally Jew myself who is constantly attacked by antisemitic trolls I can say that this is complete nonsense [followed by three strange little emojis]

All power to yer elbow, Rachel Flowers

I don't care what he thinks, either! I sometimes think that Stalin is alive and well.

Thanks for link.

I saw she was trending on twitter but didn't investigate further as I wouldn't have imagined it was JKR related. I'll go and have a proper look.
