India's outburst to JKR 'I will always be more of a woman than you.'

"long been recognised" - by whom? Reddit posters? 😂

I wouldn’t have thought JK Rowling needs to tank her career…
India, what exactly is their career? (Genuine question)

dont know much about India but JKR has long been recognised as nasty, nasty person, bitter, unpleasant and highly intolerant of others.
sadly a few people cant see that.
she's done lasting damage to the cause of women everywhere, sowing division, and hate.
As a feminist I reject her and call on women everywhere to shun her toxic opinions.

Yes. And willing to show it to anybody who asks. Which is something every woman does. Don't they? 🤐

This behaviour is the textbook method of the typical agent provocateur. These people tank their own careers, usually as a result of shooting their mouths off about some form of controversial issue. Following this, the only way in which they can stay in the news is by posting increasingly egregious content online, or by instigating media spats with other people. The latter move instantly gets everyone talking and in many cases is the only thing still keeping that person relevant.

Cf. Katie Hopkins, Piers Morgan, Laurence Fox, Rachel McKinnon, Russell Brand.

It's exactly the same pattern of behaviour. I also doubt whether these people even believe half the shite they spout. It's part of a cultivated persona - which is why they are so committed to it. They have to have an extreme cause to hitch their wagon to, or their entire public existence would crumble into dust.

Surely accusing the SC judges of bribery and corruption is a very dangerous strategy

supreme court - the communist edition?

Isn't India the one who thinks he's got a cervix?

He really is a prize fool. So embarrassing.

Your first option (rage tweet himself into litigation) would be entirely of his own making and thoroughly well deserved.

Receipts are, no doubt, being kept.

But with all the blocking they are rapidly cancelling themselves.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it is funny – she is very witty and quick – but obviously the #bekinders, and IW and the other people she responds to, can just use it as evidence that she's 'attacking' the poor defenceless trans people.
I tend to feel that people in these situations should keep themselves above suspicion, like Caesar's wife.

The #bekinders (e.g. my kids) see it as punching down. I find it funny, but woe betide me if I admit that.

I genuinely read that as he had signed off as 'Trash'.

Seriously though - it's been fun riffing on the 'buying the Supreme Court' thing - this is now the second high-profile TRA who has implied that the UKSC is susceptible to - and indeed guilty of - being bribed.

They are obviously banking on being dismissed as insignificant irritants, therefore not worth bothering with.

But at some point are Their Lordships and whoever else is big in the legal world in the UK going to lose patience and say the legalese equivalent of
'Right you lot, you're nicked for accusing us of corruption'.?

The book is finished and is out 2nd September.

I need JKR to finish the next book, please.

Maybe these tweets are just her way of limbering up for the next paragraph [hopeful]?

Absolutely this. Save your talents and energy JK. I know it must be hard to resist when the attacks keep coming though.

To think that India (and their claims of transgender ‘apartheid’) was chosen to be projected onto the HOP by Jolyon (you really don’t want someone like that being your spokesman!) A very bad move - amongst many - by Jolyon. (And I’m sure Munroe Bergdorf is raging about being lumped together with India!)

I kind of do too. She is easily accused of baiting him (and the other goons who come after her about this issue).

So only TERFs use mooncups?

Every day's a school day ...

He is engagement farming. He knows that if he mentions or directly addresses JKR his tweets get more visibility.

For all the entertainment value he provides we need to stop giving him the time of day. In desperation for attention he will either rage tweet himself into litigation or implode.

That is something I've never considered but it makes absolute sense when you see so many TW compare their "womanly essence" to real women. Thanks for posting that.

I think that the TRA trolls have left the Mumsnet building. They are far too busy over on X and Reddit mansplaining and shrieking to bother with a bunch of mums.

The level of hysteria is breathtaking. But with all the blocking they are rapidly cancelling themselves.

He is such an angry man and everytime he opens his mouth he proves it once again.

I thought the same. Breath of fresh air!
