JK Rowling - Women’s Fund

Has anyone posted this thread onto his?

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?

This actually made me incredibly emotional. I’ve been very openly GC for 6-7 years or so and I’ve been berated, lost friends, lost my AuDhd 12 yo son to the trans groomers online, had him then secretly groom his younger brother. I’ve faced the public fall out when at 18 my AuDhd son was arrested for illegal images. And through all of this I’ve been told I’m transphobic and hate filled and a monster but I’ve kept on going and sharing my story and the impact it’s had on my family.

This madness needs to stop and it’s going to be stopped by a new wave of brave women holding these companies accountable, being carried forward and supported by the glorious JKR. This is absolutely fantastic.

What an amazing woman she is!

And it is rather depressing that it is needed. Imagine if women and girls didn’t have to fight legally case by case to get our needs prioritised when sex is important to be recognised?

Yes, I feel quite certain that must be it. The disclaimer on the website that it's neither a charity nor a trust is essentially JKR telling anyone who might be so inclined not to even bother trying anything. They've no more scope to scrutinise her private fund than they do her Sainsbos shop.

I guess for those who want to financially support this, we can indirectly do that by buying/continuing to buy her stuff.

Are you now saying that organisations cannot be inclusive of women and people with transgender identities at the same time?

Gosh! Hey wims…. Chris is saying the quiet bit out loud again!

Here is the latest!

Rights really are pie! Organisations cannot be supportive of women’s needs and people with transgender identities at the same time!

Thanks for confirming that identity theory is misogynistic!

I just read this and literally stood up arms in the air and chanted "JK ROWLING" football style, alone in my kitchen.
Much to the confusion of my dogs.

I feel tearful because it's been feeling like there's going to have to be so many challenges to organisations ignoring the law, I've been feeling like it's yet another up hill slog for so many women. Again.

Then this.
We're not alone. JKR has our backs. We can do this.

My hope is someone quickly sues a school and everyone involved in it for failing to safeguard girls.

Thank you JK xx

As ever, you're all about the men.

We've already seen a tonne of lesbian bars and shut down now because most of the trans 'community' is hostile of women's rights. We've already seen attempts by trans rights organisations to shut down lesbian and gay rights organisations.

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?

Amazing news!

That website is beautiful. Just like it's creator.Thank you Jo

Stop jumping on lesbian and gay coat tails. Where on earth do you get the idea that gay bars will be closed down?

I think JKR is keeping this fund simple so she doesn’t have to fund GC cases brought by men. If she accepted donations it might be harder to set that boundary around the cases she wants to support and prioritise.

Our local pride parade nearly didn't happen this year (a very large national company has just stepped in to save it as it had very little local support this year)

The parade theme being 'protect he Trans Community' with mandatory wearing of the colours of pink and blue may have had something to do with the lack of support.

No, no we are not.

This is a defence fund not an attack fund. If someone is attacked for their sex based relief e.g lose their job then they can apply to the fund to hire legal defence if they cannot afford it themselves. As they have to apply to the fund and it is the funds decision it will only be for certain circumstances and I imagine it would not be available to someone who has done something deserving of being fired I.e graffiti the word tr**ny on someone's work station

Oooh yes. I mean…. Women are losing so many court cases on this topic aren’t they? I mean, look at the GLP, they have an amazing success rate don’t they? I don’t think it’s the GC contingent in danger of wasting money chasing unwinnable cases do you?

I suspect that this is deliberate.

A completely private fund doesn’t need any sort of charitable registration - people are allowed to spend money on whatever they fancy.

As soon as you take donations from other people there would be more scrutiny. it’s very very clear on the website that it’s a personal fund and not a company or an extension of her charity etc. Which means that you can put complaints into the bin as they arrive.

I suspect that she is trying quite hard to allow this fund to focus on funding things without getting caught up in loads of challenges and complains and complications from tra.

Hush now, the grown ups are talking

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

Given her stance, J. K. Rowling providing a fund like this feels so magically inevitable.

It's not often that you truly have the sense that you can rely on someone and trust them so implicitly.

It's simply quite marvellous.

Many people who are GC are members of the LGB community

You really should stop using words you don't understand.

It was the undermining of gay rights by transactivists that influenced the Supreme Court decision.

It was gay organisations that were allowed to intervene.

It was women talking about the complete loss of their gay spaces that made the most sense to the Supreme Court judges.

These women, helped by J. K. Rowling's donation, are the ones who have reinforced gay rights.

You should be more thoughtful to gay people.
Many gay people support women's rights and gay women are welcome to use women's facilities.
The only people not welcome are men.
Try to be more thoughtful and inclusive.

I sent a thank you card. It's nothing compared to what she's done and doing, but I hope it gives some idea how grateful I am.

If you're a transwoman, then own your chosen identity, which is totally fine, if you're a woman, well then I'm baffled as to why you take this position and would be genuinely interested in an answer.

Also as said above, that's not what the fund is for.
