Does anyone know what the deal is with her? She wrote a thread about being commissioned to write a hit piece on JK Rowling but in doing research found nothing transphobic and decided to speak out about it. I thought it was great and really good that it got some attention for JKR.

Now I’m seeing on Twitter everyone seems to be slagging her off and I can’t quite work out why. It’s not just trans rights activists, it’s the gender critical lot that seem to be gunning for her just as hard. She seems to have been asking for stories of abusive males but I’m not sure why that’s so terrible. People are always sharing their experiences of abuse on Twitter and obviously no one has to share if they don’t want to.

Can anyone fill me in? I feel I’ve missed something but I don’t know what.

I wish I'd paid more attention to this thread. What an odd character we have here.

None of this makes any sense.

If I wanted to get someone to change a lightbulb (which I do not, being an adult in good physical health, who has been gifted with a normal height ceiling and a full complement of dining chairs) I wouldn't think "adult social care" was who to call.

It's like asking for a referral to the council's meals on wheels service for the disabled and elderly because I don't feel like cooking when I get back from work.

Yes, well, she’s not exactly the brightest bulb LED in the string of Harry Potter potion bottle lights 🤷‍♀️

If she forged it then ... she deliberately put in a number labelled 'erotic massage' next to it, that she would have supposedly seen when dialling the number?

Sazzasez · 14/01/2023 14:54

Such bizarre things to lie about.

Though it’s right in line with clickbait listicles so I guess that part of the story checks out.

NitroNine · 14/01/2023 13:50

You can tell from the poor redaction that she searched “adult service Surrey”.

I just did the same & attach a screenshot below. For those who require Alt-Text, I’ve in fact edited 3 screenshots of results together in order to show more of them; all of them are for adult social care; plus a list of alternate search terms (all relating to social care, social services &/or Surrey County Council); & a wee map showing the location of Surrey Adult Social Care Line and Surrey Appropriate Adult Volunteer Line.

Could it possibly be that her “receipt” was - shock, horror, gasp! - forged?

She's uploaded a photo of a Google search result to, presumably, show that both "Adult Social Care Line" and a business labelled "erotic massage" both come up if you search "adult services" (for some inexplicable reason, instead of say "handyman").

The problem being that the business labelled "erotic massage" is.... labelled "erotic massage".

FKATondelayo · 14/01/2023 12:50

Same.

Sazzasez · 13/01/2023 21:31

What I get if I google “Adult Services” is Adult Social Services & Adult Social
Care from local councils.

I mean how many lesbians can't change a lightbulb? Has she actually met any lesbians?

Grin

Busted.

Clickbait writer looking for likes. Not getting many though.

NeighbourhoodWatchPotholeDivision · 13/01/2023 20:26

And in the bizarre parallel universe where someone did think "adult services" was an alternative term for building and household maintenance agencies, you'd specify that you were calling about lightbulb replacement (her example!) in the phone call, then and there. You wouldn't leave the purpose of your call mysteriously vague, and simply hope that the agency employee attended the next day with exactly the right type of lightbulb or other required equipment.

Such mysterious vagueness is the preserve of ludicrously plotted sitcoms, where it's employed to move the plot along. Just as it is here.

Who would google “Adult Services” if they wanted house repairs?

Nobody

It's another one for Didn't Happen of the Year Awards

Two entries in such a crowded field is highly impressive.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 13/01/2023 19:53

I'm seriously wondering if it's some sort of performance art.

SapphosRock · 13/01/2023 18:57

Oh dear. She's not quite right is she?

I don't think it's that, I think she sees herself as writing fiction for credulous idiots and that's what she's attempting to continue to do. Flaw being, we're not credulous idiots.

TinselAngel · 13/01/2023 19:29

Of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most.

LangClegsInSpace · 13/01/2023 18:43

That's so cringeworthy and desperate I almost feel sorry for her.

Has anyone seen her most recent thread? It’s so bizarre that I’m wondering if she might be on drugs.

A black lesbian friend whose twitter handle says “no DMs” has just had a DM from EJR accusing her of being homophobic and “aggressive” - because she tweeted the article in which EJR talks about faking being a lesbian.

Hmm...
