Done!

MalagaNights · 17/12/2021 09:35

Nominated and submitted.

She's accepted her privileged position as someone who cannot be cancelled and is using it to speak the truth so many are afraid to say.

Catnuzzle · 17/12/2021 09:47

Done Grin

BewareTheRedNosedDragon · 17/12/2021 09:57

Done, she is brave and amazing and won't be intimidated into shutting up. Love her.

Viviennemary · 17/12/2021 10:04

What a fix.

Hemingwayscatz · 17/12/2021 10:22

Nominated, great idea.

RoastedParnsip · 17/12/2021 10:25

Done.

I love her! I was so annoyed they didn't include her in the Harry Potter 20th special when she's the damn creator! Without her they'd be nothing. 🙇🏻‍♀️

@Viviennemary

What a fix.
How is it a fix? Do you not understand how voting works?

@Viviennemary

What a fix.
😂 Get a grip! It's a VOTING competition.
threecupsofteaminimum · 17/12/2021 10:30

Done ✔️

PenguindreamsofDraco · 17/12/2021 10:31

Done. Amazing woman.
And she's donated waaay more than $160m to charity, I think that was just one year. She's only not a billionaire because she gives so much away. And she pays full tax.

@Bonbon21

For the record I do not have a problem with the Trans community or any other community. My difficulty is with ANYBODY who attempts to erase me and my rights as a WOMAN. I dont give a flying fuck how anyone else lives their life as long as they do not impinge on my right to be me.. I am a woman. And I WILL fight to be recognised as such as long as I have breath in my body.
Yep me too
Bearyhumcrack · 17/12/2021 10:38

Done.

MenopauseSucks · 17/12/2021 10:38

Done!

anon12345678901 · 17/12/2021 10:41

Nominated! Thanks OP.

It's funny seeing some posters shout 'she's transphobic' but yet none of them show anything to prove that. She hasn't said trans shouldn't have any rights, she's just asking for womens to be protected. That's not transphobic in any sense.

Swisscheeseleaves · 17/12/2021 10:45

Nominated her due to her philanthropic work and the fact she got where she was today through a lot of very hard work and now she helps others as much as she can. And she's had to deal with a lot of hate online including doxxing and nobody deserves that.

JK could have gone down as one of the greats of our time but instead she chose to shit on her own legacy. I'll get why. In her shoes I'd have sat in my castle and used my money and resources to help others less fortunate. But alas.

Did you not know about the $160 million she’s donated to charity? Or the taxes she pays in the UK because she hasn’t swanned off abroad to avoid paying them

God how embarrassing for vlad, making a comment like that without actually taking a second to Google how much JK does do for people less fortunate than herself.

Deadringer · 17/12/2021 10:49

I voted for her too.

I wonder if they ever go away and reflect on why they can't back up what they are saying, or if it's just LALALALALALALALA fingers in their ears stuff.

I guess it's a mix. But surely either is a sign of an ideology that could use some scrutiny, or at least the option to ask sense unless questions without being labelled as transphobic.

Kinraddie · 17/12/2021 11:37

Voted for her.
