Following the JKR (JK Rowing) fallout about pronouns, JCJ (Jane Clare Jones) is all over X / Twitter and she has thoughts on everything... That includes taking multiple aims at Kelly-Jay Keen (KJK) and her methods like this: https://x.com/janeclarejones/status/2049176034373739007?s=20

JCJ has also taken aim at the Pronouns are Rohypnol
https://fairplayforwomen.com/pronouns/ essay from Fair Play for Women.

Anyway! The point of my post is to get a gauge of womens thoughts about JCJ and her friends / colleagues / "comrades" on the current discourse after the JKR fallout. How many women actually pay attention to JCJ? She contributed to one thing in parliment once (?) - what else has she done that has reached the culture at large (in the way that KJK has)?

Not action: Producing arguments that help: Lawyers in court. Feminism women stand their ground. Journalists. Sex being overwritten in data collection. Action: Shouting at other women on the internet about pronouns.

By and large, I think JCJ is great and I tend to agree with her. Can't say I agree with her on everything because I don't know her views on everything.

I felt that the editorial board of Radical Notion - a JCJ group publication - had a very narrow agenda and a more broadly based magazine might have managed to survive longer.

I don't have an opinion about the different 'factions'. When I was on twitter a few years ago I was very 'Oh my God the gender criticals are falling out!' Now I'm 'oh, this again '. I'm fascinated by the different voices on Twitter but I'm not sure there's anyone who's fighting gender ideology who I would block. I disagree with a lot of people on a lot of things but still value their opinions.

I can't remember about JCJ in particular. Is she an academic? Or a writer?

Academic.

Also, to have been in this for a long time you have to be pretty disagreeable (as opposed to nice/accommodating) to start with and after doing it for 7 or 8 years you'd probably feel even more stroppy. I'm definitely more waspish now than I was two years ago when I first started discussing this online.

Yes, this.

A certain section of the “Gender critical” community really takes the word critical to heart.
