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.

EJ Rosetta- if you are reading this (you must be if you have DM the OP) then what do you think? Can you answer any of the questions posters have about you?

Has she sent everyone on this thread half a dozen DMs or was it just me she blessed?

Nothing in my inbox. Have you been invited to a women only (male inclusive) twitter space?

I can’t bloody find it. I thought it was posted by a GC woman with “peach” or “peaches” in her Twitter name but I can’t find her anywhere.

Nutmegger · 29/12/2022 10:19

Oh dear @GereWeGoAgain that sounds ominous. Yes, I'd love to see the thread

GereWeGoAgain · 29/12/2022 09:51

@Nutmegger shes got a couple of sock accounts she’s using to fire at GC women who are questioning her. Accounts that have been dormant for ages suddenly popping back into life just to defend EJ’s honour. I saw a thread on Twitter yesterday, l’ll try and find it and link.

Nutmegger · 29/12/2022 07:33

I can't make her out. Atm I think she's more innocent than manipulative

Sazzasez · 28/12/2022 18:57

Sorry - was that a total brain fart on my part?

it was!

i have the wrong tweet linked - sorry. Will ask the moderators to remove it.

Sorry if I'm being thick but what does that tweet have to do with EJ Rosetta? Is she the blonde woman in the picture?

I think if there was the opportunity to make more of a name for herself by becoming a “recovered TERF” she’d grab it with two hands.

To be honest, that's what I assume her overall gameplan might be.

@Floisme thats definitely a heartening thought

Floisme · 27/12/2022 14:56

Yeah quite possibly, but what I'm taking from it is that, even if that if that's her main concern, the idea that she might believe this would benefit her career suggests there's been something of a sea change.

I don't feel I know enough to form a view on her personally. However I'm intrigued and kind of heartened by the idea that someone might think supporting JKR is a good career move.

I think that she’s realised she was working in a saturated market saying what a big meanie JKR was. There aren’t really any women like her around at the moment on the GC side - journalist with history writing for things like PinkNews and having changed her mind. It’s working so far too - GB News, 12k more followers, interview with Julie Bindel, personal message from JKR. Maybe she does think JKR has been misrepresented but her main concern seems to be that of her career and I think if there was the opportunity to make more of a name for herself by becoming a “recovered TERF” she’d grab it with two hands.

I've got no comment or judgement on her other than the safety of women is clearly not her foremost concern and IMO it should be.

Breakfastinbedonhols · 27/12/2022 12:24

Yes Signalbox. The first I heard of her was on GBN, then after Tinsel posted her Twitter above I have done a complete u-turn on her already.

She just wants to make money now that things are starting to come out in the wash. Whereas real journalists like Jo B have gone to every rally, spoken to so many people and have written great articles.

Signalbox · 27/12/2022 12:18

I thought she was genuine at 1st. Not so sure now. It’s like she’s using JKR to raise her profile. She’s gained about 12k followers since she 1st tweeted. She seems to be positioning herself in a leadership role which is a bit odd since she’s literally only just changed her mind on JKR. If she thought JKR was a bigot she must’ve held other trans activist views. I don’t believe someone can undergo a mindset change so quickly just by reading a JKR essay however good they are. Jo Bartosch pointed out it was a bit reminiscent of Amy Dyas. I’m inclined to agree.

I raised concerns on Twitter that she was inviting women to share stories of abuse by cross dressers,in an insecure twitter space with no details of how any women who participated would be safeguarded and what their stories would be used for. She didn't respond at all for several days and when she did she didn't address my concerns about safeguarding but gave an excruciatingly patronising response.

See responses to this tweet:

Ergh, so she is trying to make click bait out of women’s experiences now. Dear me, some people have no moral compass do they?

She touches on this in the Andrew Doyle interview.

It’s just screaming proof that click bait articles are pure shyte. Interviews like this should be shown in schools.

She also said that she is the person who writes all the click bait articles, so her name may not be attached to a lot of work she does.
