I might be needing to look into that. Hopefully not.

I'm not a man.

Anyway I wonder how much of this fund will be wasted to the wind in failed attempts to sue anyone and anything that says anything in support of trans people.

my bet is £0.00 as that’s not what the fund is for.

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.

Show quote history

Stonewall stopped supporting gay rights years ago as they could see where the grift was moving to. And companies are fleeing from them.

I'm interested, which horse are you riding in the race? I can't see why you can think a fund to support women who've been discriminated against could be a bad thing?

I want that symbol on a T-shirt, NOW!!

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

JazzyJelly · 23/05/2025 23:54

Bloody ridiculous that it's needed, of course.

What did we ever do to deserve JK Rowling?
I assumed it was a crowdfunder and was going to donate. Is there such a thing as a secular saint?

"What we fund
We fund legal representation for women and organisations who:
Have lost their livelihoods or are facing tribunals because of their expressed beliefs
Are being forced to comply with unreasonable inclusion policies regarding single sex spaces and services, or female-only clubs and events
Are challenging legislation which takes away the freedoms or protections women are entitled to
Don’t have adequate means to bring actions to court or to defend themselves
The JKRWF does not hire a lawyer on your behalf, so you must already have sought legal representation, and have a clear desired outcome to your case."

The J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund

A legal fighting fund for women protecting their sex-based rights

Haha. No. People can have mixed sex groups if they wish. And single sex if labelled as such.

Nobody will be shutting down gay bars or gay rights orgs long as they are clear on who they are catering to as per the law that has been in place for years.

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.

She always gets it right 👏

CraftandGlamour · 23/05/2025 23:26

What a woman! This is amazing!

Pixilicious1 · 23/05/2025 23:21

Just when you think she couldn’t do any better by women she goes and out does herself. Bloody Queen!

Morningsleepin · 23/05/2025 23:18

Incredible woman

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.

I'm so tempted to wander over to Reddit to see what the TRAs are making of it. But this is such a lovely, inspiring thing that I'm not sure I want to go straight into their horrible frothings about black mould on the brain (nope, me either) and being a literal Nazi and racist and conversion therapy fan and never replacing the bog roll.

Otoh it's often unintentionally hilarious. Dilemmas.

Oh please do take one for the team....

BoreOfWhabylon · 23/05/2025 22:58

Oh, please do have a look and report back @teawamutu Grin
