Let me guess. Despite what the theory behind this is, because of the SC ruling JK Rowling wants to encourage lawsuits against any org that supports trans rights?

Are we going to see a tonne of gay bars and gay rights orgs shut down now because most of the gay community is supportive of trans rights?

The gender critical community pretend they are supportive of gay rights but they don't realise (or maybe conveniently ignore) by attacking anyone who supports trans rights they are also hurting the gay community.

Give over.

This fund it going to be needed more than ever. We’ve seen how they’re all reacting to the ruling. I don’t trust Labour to be explicit or firm enough- they’re actually relying on court cases.

There will have to be more court cases to
iron out the creases.

Christina forgot to mention that Stonewall were unsuccessfully sued twice by a member of the lesbian community.

That's the wrong kind of gay.

It's likely the money will go towards cases like Sandie Peggie v NHS Fife or Roz Anderson v ERCC. Or go towards court action to make Councils across Scotland, who contine to force school girls to use mixed sex toilets , to comply with the law. Or any number of things which has seen our national institutions continue to drag their heels and hold their hands in horror at 'how complicated' following the law is.

But no, no, you continue with your own beclowning.

You reckon the owners of these bars would rather go out of business than comply with the law? Odd belief.

It’s not the only odd belief Chris has!

This is a great idea - I’d buy the tshirt & sweatshirt too!

Thank you thank you JKR Flowers - and yes my first reaction was to donate too! Guess I’ll stick to the crowdfunders. Sadly there is need for all of us in this space.

LadyBracknellsHandbagg · 24/05/2025 07:42

Christinapple · 23/05/2025 23:51

Sure. JK Rowling has been trash talking Stonewall (a gay rights charity I donate to) for yonks and another figure in the gender critical community spend a million(?) on 2 failed attempts to sue them.

This is fabulous. All power to the women! Thankyou JKR.

AmaryllisNightAndDay · 24/05/2025 07:39

What a star she is! Thank you JK Rowling Flowers

I'm going to keep on putting money into the same crowdfunders though, until they close or announce they've been funded so there's no need. It's going to take time to apply and I don't know how many the Women's Fund will be able to cover. If I run out of UK/Irish cases I shall also look at some of the international ones, like Sal Grover (Tickle vs Giggle)

@iamsarah do you know about this fund?

LadyBracknellsHandbagg · 24/05/2025 07:39

teawamutu · 23/05/2025 23:10

I don't think they've noticed yet. I guess all the 'safe spaces' are lacking in people who actually clock what's going on.

We know that IW will actually explode when he finds out 😂

JKR literally puts her money where her mouth is. She is the epitome of integrity. Such a rare quality.

Waitwhat23 · 24/05/2025 07:37

JellySaurus · 24/05/2025 06:45

I can't find it right now, but didn't JKR say something last year about pledging to personally support any woman taken to court as a result of Scotland's anti-women April Fools' Day ruling?

Yep, you're right. And then, as before, it has given women in Scotland some comfort to know that there's someone there, backing us, if we find ourselves in Sandie Peggie's, or Roz Anderson's position, or if someone like Ellie Gomersall or Sophie Molly make themselves a nuisance.

JKR has made the world of difference.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 23/05/2025 22:07

Is this real? <skeptical> Or just collecting the details of vulnerable women?

Seriously?! 🤦‍♀️

Helleofabore · 24/05/2025 07:32

This year really is getting better and better!

After so much hard work from so many women and girls, this really is great news.

Sandie Peggie’s case has been so painful for Sandie, yet the case has been yet another vital one. I don’t believe that she will lose, however, even if she didn’t win, the impact has been huge.

Then we had FWS judgement.

Now we have the security that JK’s fund delivers. Security to know that other vital cases that will have direct influence will happen.

Joanne, Joanne, what a Queen
Of all the writers ever seen!
She lifts us up,
And gives us Hope.
Helps us find a way to cope.
"Courage calls to courage"
I've heard it said,
With this, her crown is on her head!

Well there’s the superstar Dad on here bravely taking on the school in Brighton which his 2 daughters attend.
He is a man but I wonder if his DDs would be eligible for this fund if he has to take it to court?

Show quote history

Hmm good point. But if he's not, the existence of this fund means those of us who'd previously gardened for women bringing cases will be able to channel those funds towards cases where it's a male who wants to protect women's sex based rights. I trust any such cases will be talked about on here so interested parties can put in.

Thank-you JKR.

Can we take a guess the first beneficiaries are FWS and a teeny wee nurse fae Fife?

You know it might just need to go out and replace my HP books. Mine were read to death by a young family member. (Never abused just read and handled so much).

Actually maybe both my kids should have their own copies 🤔
