Just saw this on threads. How is it ok. To wish someone dead? How is that being on "the right side of history"?
I disagree with lots of people on various things. I've never thought "I'd rather hear s/he is dead"

I have to say JKR is wrong

thats not heavy makeup

it is a photo thats been photoshopped beyond recognition

The first time I saw it I assumed it was a joke. It's got to be photoshop.

Go ahead and keep laughing at transphobic abuse, we know at this point it doesn't win votes or lawsuits. I heard the owner of the Giggle app laughed in court at an offensive transphobic caricature of the trans woman which doesn't go down well with the judge?

We all know that when you say 'transphobic abuse' what you really mean is 'stating biological facts' so no, we are not remotely bothered.

HTH.

Thanks for that Chris.

Could you help me understand what was achieved when she kept posting snide nasty remarks about a trans football manager? Who happened to be happily married, supported by the team she manages and the other teams, and isn't a criminal?

I saw the football manager got a lot of abuse from JK Rowling's followers, but the people who already supported her were continuing to support her. So what's the outcome from that other than to bully a trans woman who is doing nothing wrong except existing? I keep hearing the word "witch hunt" but that appears to be what JK Rowling is doing to other women.

Saw this today which makes a good point. JKR has broken her twitter silence just to slag another women's make-up, even though she may not be perfect herself or 100% natural.

So what is JKR's point here? Just to bully women? That's how it comes across to a lot of people.

Can we look at what her friends are posting too?

Sounds like there could be more court case overs over both those comments. Aren't Maya and Glinner both in some legal trouble too over alleged comments made towards trans/gay people?

While the gender critical movement may have some valid points, JKR and friends aren't doing themselves any favours by bullying women or making potential libellous hateful implications or accusations.

Are you mad?
Its completely reasonable in the circumstances.
he lied to get the job, and thats even before any of his gross statements.
At best, you are being dangerouly naive about predatory behaviour.
You might want to remind yourself of all the BBCs coverups and give your head a shake.

Christinapple we know you don't see transwomen as women because you are so focussed on making sure that they have every whim catered to. If you saw them as women you wouldn't care about them so much.

If transwomen really wanted to be seen as and treated as women then they wouldn't expect anyone to listen to them. The expectation that the world will bow to all their demands is the ultimate admission that they see themselves as men.

DumbassHamsterSitterPerson · 24/08/2024 17:26

Broke her twitter silence? Wasn't she on holiday and therefore not being online?

And that picture of IK in makeup is interesting. I could put my long haired adult son in makeup and pink earrings and he'd look pretty similar. So it's not proof of anything.

I don't agree with you. I don't think that being determined is the same as being obsessed. Her position is very clear, and has been transparently outlined in the essay she wrote four years ago about why she was doing this. It's still there on her website and you can read it for yourself, which you should do if you really want to understand her. And especially if you genuinely want to play a more productive role in the discussions on this site.

Could you help me understand what was achieved when she kept posting snide nasty remarks about a trans football manager? Who happened to be happily married, supported by the team she manages and the other teams, and isn't a criminal?

JKR is a figure of fantasy.

And this is a fan fiction of that fantasy.

Can someone explain to me why so many TRAs appear to think that Imane Khelif is going to be awarded the rights to Harry Potter (I assume that they think this could be a result of IK's French legal action, somehow)?

All I can come up with is a bizarre fever dream or wishful thinking.

Because they have huge difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality. I think some of them genuinely think this could happen because they want to it.

btw where is her chum Bindel? Or is there a game going on where people go quiet from twitter so everyone guesses where they are?

it's august

they're on holiday you absolute doofus.

Some people really do need an intervention on the social media front. It's like they literally can't think of anything else

LadyGabriella · 24/08/2024 11:56

JKR thoughts and speech come from a place of protecting women and standing up for their safety. Nothing she has said in my opinion is offensive or incorrect. Love her.

DumbassHamsterSitterPerson · 24/08/2024 11:56

Thanks sensible women of MN. Or men. Don't want to misgender anyone Wink You've restored my faith in sensibleness (I know it's not a word)

Honestly my RL friends all either believe TWAW or don't say anything about it so I was feeling rather alone.

Of course threads (and presumably TwiX) is now full of how happy her legal team will be that she couldn't keep away from SM. (Didn't she say she was going on holiday and wouldn't be on-line? Rather than that she was scared away?)

I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of calling her a "baddie", but she does seem rather obsessed with people who are either trans or don't meet her criteria of what a woman should be.

Not long ago she was obsessed with a trans football manager (who had done nothing wrong except exist), now she's obsessed with Imane Khelif.

a billionaire with 14M followers on twitter and almost everything she tweets is repeated by the tabloids, and this is what she chooses to use it for?

I would usually say "not my prob, go ahead" other than she could be putting trans women and other women at risk of harm with her tweets.

btw where is her chum Bindel? Or is there a game going on where people go quiet from twitter so everyone guesses where they are?

She's obsessed with women's rights.

Just like that Emmeline Pankhurst - shockingly obsessed with women's right to vote she was.

When she doesn’t reply for a couple of weeks because she’s on holiday it’s because she’s running scared but then when she does post she’s obsessed. She can’t win so there’s no point her even attempting to play the game. She’ll post as she wants - and this IS a case that needs highlighting. Putting men in women’s sports is putting women at direct harm.

And the football manager you mentioned - was that not the same man who’d been trying to harass her long before she commented about him?

I believe that we all recognise that apple cannot recognise and actively dismisses male abuse and violence against female people.

I also believe they have supported abusers over the victim before in their need to demonise women who disagree with apple.

benefitstaxcredithelp · 24/08/2024 11:15

Poster upthread says JKR is ‘obsessed’, if by obsessed you mean ‘feels very strongly about’ then yes she’s obsessed with women’s rights and truth. Truth. That illusive thing.

She’s also a ‘baddie’ because the patriarchy are well used to silencing women and in this case they can’t. Sucks to be them ( as my tween would say 😂).

JeremiahBullfrog · 24/08/2024 10:36

JKR is potentially in trouble for calling a person "male" on the basis of reasonable evidence and saying that person was "smirking". This makes her a horrible bully.

JKR's detractors are frantically expressing their hope that she go to jail, going on and on with a bizarre story about her being driven mad by mould, inventing positions she clearly doesn't actually hold, implying she's a hypocrite for wearing makeup, suggesting she's a racist, calling her a bitch and a bigot (most of this drawn just from looking through the current "top tweets" on a search for "Rowling", where hardly anyone seems to have anything positive to say to her) -- and yet the idea that maybe they might be horrible bullies apparently hasn't crossed their minds.

The truth its that being "the baddie" has made JKR much more famous and rich than if the TRAs had shut the fuck up.

Can you expand on the mechanics of that statement@SerendipityJane

The existence of this thread for a start ... and then JKRs name appearing not just in the literary supplements, but the actual real news. Can't be bad for sales (not that I am suggesting it's the reason, which is what makes it even more delicious).

I'm probably wrong, as usual. But I don't see why that should stop me 😀
