My heart is all melted for JKR https://open.substack.com/pub/suzannemoore/p/an-exclusive-interview-with-jk-rowling?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android

I wonder if it might become a flash point for tra demonstrations or vandalism, hopefully stopping at stickers. I hope even they wouldn't stoop so low. But if it does it will shine a light on their selfishness and misogyny, perhaps also illuminating the police, the press and the politicians.

In Vancouver they had rats nailed to the door of the only female rape crisis centre. There's no limit to how low TRAs will stoop.

Oh my. It's almost worth the court case.

No, no. We definitely don't really want that, of course.

Oh no. Don’t think I can handle any more bundles 😂😂😂

Amazing. What a wonderful gift to women in need, when hardly anyone else offers genuine women-only services with no requirement to "check your thinking" and drink the gender Kool Aid.

She's a living legend, JK.

LexMitior · 12/12/2022 11:24

I revise that. By her stance, she effectively says that she is less concerned by it because of changes to come in the law.

If the law applied properly in Scotland, she and her party could be considered to be discriminatory against women. The irony,

How any woman votes for her is beyond me

It won't stop being a problem until Nicola Sturgeon is gone. She licenses this behaviour and gives it credence.

It is a model that could be copied.

It is smart, legally speaking.

And Nicola Sturgeon is a disgrace. I hope this stain of a policy follows her long after she leaves Holyrood. The clearest message that she is the most selfish of politicians, to change an entire system of rights and responsibilities for her own benefit. It is a mystery how a self aware woman could vote for her

But I guess if the worst came to the worst, and her hands were totally forced, how much Ben Cooper could JKR afford, do you think? 🤔😳

This isn't just an ordinary rape crisis centre team,

This is a superb, experienced, gold-plated, hand-picked team. Of women.

Let's get over the Good Law Projecf as something to be worried about. They secure funding by being as contentious as possible, lose more cases than they win and are currently scrabbling around for lawyers to work for them.

Their rep is odious within the profession.

The GLP are a joke. No one takes them seriously

What's the betting a tra will try to get access and make a legal claim ?

Oh, no, please, whatever you do, don't bring a legal claim against us.

And definitely don't get the Good Law Project to fund it.

We wouldn't stand a chance. And we hate being in court.

I'm almost willing to forgive Women's Hour for everything. So good to have this news on WH, and so quickly.

And followed straight away by an ad for Strike Troubled Blood

"Good for her. And if it's a referral system, then looks like any trans activists would be referred to a service for them."

And if they are in genuine need of help, then I hope they get referred to somewhere that can provide it. I'm sure they wil be. Seems like they have thought this through.

CyanCyan · 12/12/2022 10:59

Fantastic news, what an amazing woman.

The Scottish Government do not have the ability under the current devolution settlement to change the Equality Act.

Otherwise you can bet the SNP would have done it already.

It's really simple, it's about increasing capacity.

JKR is doing something to improve the lives of the most vulnerable people

No. Legitimate exception on the basis of single sex under the Equality Acf should apply.

Good for her. And if it's a referral system, then looks like any trans activists would be referred to a service for them.

Clever.

If it's not a charity, are they under any obligation to provide a service for all?

Equality Act applies to everyone, including private providers.

A project like this has been years in the making.

She wants to make sure it's not subject to the whims of whoever is in power
