On The Sad Passing of Dolly Parton

Jokes on you , Dr Dame Katie Denise used to employ JKRowling as her PA , JKR often goes round to her caravan with a bottle of lambrini to reminisce about old times

Dame Katy Denise. That article is unintentionally hilarious.

Have they taken that paragraph out now, because ot made them look like clowns?

It’s almost as if somebody can appreciate the achievements of someone without agreeing with all of their politics.

Good for JKR 🙌

What a really lovely tribute from JKR. Dolly and JKR two legends for women in their lifetime.,

I know and love them all, I do not judge.

maybe you should take a leaf out of Dollys book OP

And so should a goodly portion of the people commenting under the article…

JKR posts a tribute to Dolly Parton, trans activist make it all about them.

Plus ça change

and the fact you are attempting a gotcha using the death of a wonderful women is disgraceful

I'm not trying to be pretend baffled here, but I don't get the energy. JKR expressed something positive about DP, and that led to a lot of emotionally intense pile on about JKR. I think there's a trigger repsonse for some to anything JKR might say.

Cool. Are you also shaming the people responding to her telling her she should have died instead, or staying that Dolly was a 'trumper' and so nothing of value was lost?

Or is all your ire saved for someone you've already decided you don't like, even when she posted a kind and very heartfelt tribute to a wonderful woman?

Is making the death of a lovely person about your own politics and the fact that you hate someone else really more important than honoring the actual death of a genuinely kind and generous woman?

And yet you call us cult members.

Rowling was still in the replies.

She answered British trans activist Dame Katy Denise by deadnaming her and saying she had seen her birth certificate.

She deadnamed Dame Katy Denise?

How very dare she.

Honestly OP have you actually lost the plot?

When another user said she and Dolly had nothing in common, Rowling replied that “neither of us want Jolene to take our man.”

I actually laughed out loud when I read that on TwiX. JKR's wit is a thing of beauty.

Fuck me, I’ll be glad when the schools go back.

Or touting for clicks on the link.

Lets face it. Jk could say she had a sandwich for lunch and it would be twisted to be transphobic somehow.

"She answered British trans activist Dame Katy Denise by deadnaming her and saying she had seen her birth certificate."

<spits coffee over keyboard laughing>

I didn't click!!!

Whilst we are on the subject of Dame Katy though, I was so taken by her fund raising for chair poverty that I've donated every chair I own to her. I'm currently sat on the floor myself, but I believe the sacrifice is worth it if it helps some poor transwomen actually be able to finally sit on a chair.

Also <preens>... Dame Katy follows me on X. I feel so seen!

Keith, apparently. The dead name that is.

I saw this being discussed on Reddit. Basically, they were saying that unlike Dolly Parton, nobody will mourn JKR when she dies.

Putting aside all the legions of Harry Potter and Strike fans for a minute, what about all the people she has helped through her charities and donations? She is just as philanthropic as Dolly Parton was. Then there are all the women around the world who love her for standing up for women's sex-based rights, when others have been too cowardly to. And all the ordinary people who agree with her and love her wit and refusal to be cowed.

Yet there are people in echo chambers such as Reddit, deluding themselves that nobody would care if she died. Whatever brings them comfort I suppose.

Would anyone be able to post a screenshot or link of what JK actually posted

This was her post on X

Jk is vile.

Dolly was a legend.

And there are the usual unhinged men in her replies
