On The Sad Passing of Dolly Parton

J.K. Rowling mourned Dolly Parton, then deadnamed a trans woman under the same post. Dolly’s fans did not hold back.
Rowling has spent years using her platform to harass and invalidate transgender people.

Dolly Parton spent decades making LGBTQ people feel loved.

After Dolly died, Rowling began praising her online, calling her Imagination Library “the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity.” She said they crossed paths once backstage at a talk show in the 90s, and she was “tongue-tied and starstruck.”

The replies quickly filled with the Dolly she left out.

In 2005, Dolly wrote and recorded “Travelin’ Thru” for Transamerica, a film centered on a transgender woman.
When North Carolina passed its anti-trans bathroom law, Dolly said she hoped everybody got the chance “to be who and what they are.”

When Tennessee was targeting trans people in 2023, Dolly said trans people could not help being trans any more than she could help being Dolly Parton.
“I know and love them all, and I do not judge.”

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.

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

Dolly once put it this way: “We are all God’s children and how we are is who we are.”

There is a further article of the right-thinking world's reaction to Rowling's... characteristic behaviour here: https://www.out.com/celebs/jk-rowling-dolly-parton?mrfcid=202608266a8c32408240c960826a25ab

I like biscotti, but I can tell you now that pushing them into yogurt and freezing it is disappointing.

Well there's no point in going on living now is there!!

Waitwhat23 · 28/08/2026 18:33

Even dipped in Vin Santo, they are dry and shit. There's so many lovely Italian treats that I've never understood the lure of biscotti.

JKR as a biscuit? I see her as one of those delicious Dark Chocolate Ginger biscuits by Border Biscuits.

You really shouldn’t have needed to find that out. Feels like something one could work out

to be fair, when freshly baked and interestingly flavoured, biscotti can be good and certainly superior to (say) bourbons. So I take the shittest of the biscuits thing back

Those Boarder biscuits are some of the most amazing biscuits I've ever eaten. I reckon they put crack in them.

ArabellaScott · 28/08/2026 18:41

Wait, its not biscotti.

BISCOFF.

It was a meme. Push them into Greek yogurt and freeze it.

Well, don't.

I cant vouch for or against biscotti.

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 28/08/2026 18:49

I love a biscotti.
I love JKR
I love Dolly Parton.

See how easy it is to be positive?

That said, maybe don’t give my words any weight. I have recently discovered I’m a cultist. Along with the other 99% of the population that knows that sex is immutable.
Goddamn cultists tricked me!

The Telegraph reporting on another very senior civil servant in the Cabinet Office who's unhinged enough to use Dolly's death as an opportunity to issue death wishes:

Thanks again OP for giving us all these opportunities to highlight all these adults those who struggle to manage in a civilised democratic society.

Poor Dr Dame was misnamed Kitty by the trans activists. She was devastated. As far as I am aware, no-one has reached out to apologise to her and she considers it a one-woman genociding.

People should think before they post nonsense.

ErrolTheDragon · 28/08/2026 18:57

Biscotti don’t really seem like biscuits to me, despite being the only ones which are literally biscuits (‘twice cooked’).

The wee Biscoff biscuits you get on your saucer alongside your coffee in some cafes? Yummy.

The biscoff spread? An absolute abomination. Basically sugary sand.

Agreed. And with a bit of bite.

IwantToRetire · 28/08/2026 19:07

Its getting really tedious having reddit type posts on FWR. For those who want reddit type posts just keep on discussing issues at that level on reddit

Its sort of gross that a feminist forum is seen to be the place to come and try and do a hatchet job on strong independent women.

What isn't to admire that two powerful women who have each had the talent and will power to be creative and earn money, AND given most of their earnings away to help others?

FrippEnos · 28/08/2026 19:16

Things that I am sure of

Dolly loved everyone, her support very rarely went beyond that as she was a savvy business woman.

She would never want her name used/linked to anything bringing someone else down, A true fan would know this.

She was wise enough not to get involved in any form of politics.

And finally any trans person that is promoting this like this thread , reall didn't like or know what dolly was about.

And as an aside, both dolly and JKR have said the same thing, that trans people have the right to live their lives however they like and live happy lives.

I do enjoy the banter with Dame Dr Katy Keith.

So do I - all the chair-based back and forth and asking us women what's stopping us from being that hot! What indeed? Dr Dame Katy Keith Denise is an inspiration.

Helleofabore · 28/08/2026 20:37

Wasn’t this laughed off Twitter? I am sure I saw someone try to make this same argument and twitter users just pointed out en masse how that ludicrous accusation failed spectacularly. It was hilarious.

Weren't you meant to put them in the fridge so they were"cheescakeish" ? Not the freezer. The biscoff wouldn't go soft which I thought was the plan?

I used to work in a care home that had those little packets of border biscuits in various places. For residents, staff and visitors. Then we got a new manager who decided staff weren't allowed them. We got cheap ones instead. Prick.

My pal's mum used to work at the Borders factory and she'd get samples sent home to her and divvy out between us. Oh the joy.

Just as incompetent as the ususal scolders we get on here.

NImumconfused · 28/08/2026 22:34

I'm pretty sure I saw that exact post word for word on Facebook yesterday, so they've just cut and pasted it and scarpered I imagine.

Yep. That is the one.

Helleofabore · Yesterday 04:13

We have seen this before though. An OP so desperate to prove a point about JK Rowling’s transphobia they bring up Dame Katy.

In fact, I am sure that someone did something similar a while ago. A new user name who plopped some cut and pasted piece of satire and run. Maybe the intention is to make sure we all read if for a laugh.
