The publicity would be phenomenal. And I totally believe JKR would dare to put such a ridiculous law to the test if it was passed, it would be completely in line with the bold and principled stand she has consistently taken.

She is wonderful. Humanity is so blessed to have her.

What an incredible woman - I have so much respect and admiration for her

Cismyfatarse · 18/10/2023 22:03

When I get banged up for standing up for reality, I really, really want to share a cell with JKR.

If the government of the day want to criminalise reality then yes, I'll be one of the very expensive drains they place on the tax payer trying to enforce it. Because I won't live in a country like that.

What does 'hatred of a victim's gender identity' even mean?

If I see a bloke in a mini skirt up around his arse, as I did yesterday, I think he looks ridiculous and convinces nobody. If I were to ask him some pertinent questions, which I wouldn't because I regard men wearing women's clothes in public as waving more red flags than a May Day parade in Moscow, and he said 'my gender identity is a woman/female, so I wear these clothes' - could my questions be construed as 'hateful'? I don't think so, but Scots law might disagree.

But if I then tell him I think he looks ridiculous and he's clearly a man, I can't see how that is hatred of his 'gender identity' because if it were I'd have to hate women or females, and I don't. I hate seeing the parodies of womanhood these men affect, but that's not the same thing.

Insanity upon insanity.

I'm up to do this. I will not tell lies.

I guarantee she wouldn't sit still. She'd be teaching her fellow inmates how to read and write, especially how to write a story. And a bloody good one at that.

She really is the epitome of a strong successful woman who stands up for what she believes in and knows is right.
Good on her!
I mean this is someone astute enough to come up with the allegorical political regime that produced Umbridge (which is now playing out in real life).
"I WILL NOT TELL LIES" indeed.

I saw this. Fantastic.

She could live so loftily. But she’s got into the mud and I love her for it.

Share token didn’t work for me @Cismyfatarse (but totally agree re JKR)

iamenougheveryday · 18/10/2023 20:40

Everyday I love her more and more! A real hero!

Dougalskeeper · 18/10/2023 20:35

For real women's rights, me too

Soubriquet · 18/10/2023 20:35

She is definitely a hero of our time
