It's only right!

@Viviennemary

As if she wasn't full enough of her own importance already. Where can we vote no thanks.

You can’t

You can nominate someone else….but I’m betting you won’t

I have. She is aware of her privileged position and isn't afraid to stand up for women whose position means they have to stay silent - despite the awful treatment it means for her. I am so thankful for her!

@Blessedandstresseddd

Unfortunately I don’t have the time to do all of the research being asked of me and I do have her blocked on Twitter, but her Twitter account would definitely be a good place to start! Sending lots of love to all the trans women on mumsnet who have to read all of this time and time again ❤️

So no…

You've no idea what she said thats transphobic, can’t prove it and dont have the courage of your convictions

I’m embarrassed for you

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.

Why on earth would you use a slur against someone, and not even be able to explain why?

Don’t take the bait folks! Ignore. This thread is about JKR being person of the year.

‘All the research’?! So you have nothing, yet you feel able to throw slurs around.

Of course you don't. "DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!!"

If you're appalled by her then I would imagine you've got at least the edited highlights of the "hateful" things she's said, no?

And yet that’s exactly what she’s done. She donates a fortune.

Do you have any idea what you are talking about?!

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.

^^ preach 👏🏾🙌🏾👊🏾

@GertrudeBElion

I follow JKR on Twitter, I've never seen any hateful comments from her. Not one.

I follow JKR too. No hateful comments seen.

She’d be a billionaire if she hadn’t used her money and resources to help others less fortunate

I'm assuming this is facetious given she does use her money and resources to help those in need?

Literally one 'hateful' and 'transphobic' quote would do.

This is actually a real issue. People believing biased, second or third hand accounts of what they reckon someone said. @Blessedandstresseddd please do look at what JK actually wrote and see how much sounds reasonable.

She supports trans rights and women's rights. There is a middle ground in all this and the entrenched, angry positions help no one.

@Blessedandstresseddd

God you’re all going to be raging when I tell you I have no problem being called a birthing person and someone who is currently chest feeding. How does accepting trans women living their lives, erase your womanhood? Absolutely baffling 😂 I’ve been a long time lurker on AIBU and I have to say the trans threads are the most confusing! Blowing out someone else candle doesn’t make yours shine any brighter darlings ❤️❤️

No you’re all right

No raging here…

@Blessedandstresseddd stop changing the subject and back up your allegations. Go on, give us some first hand hateful quotes by the woman you are abusing.

I think she does a lot for people less fortunate. She has spoken out about DV and abuse. She defends woman's rights. She is a clear candidate.

Why do so many women fall over themselves to defend hateful aggressive men?

Voted too. I hope she gets many votes.

This is literally the first thing that comes up on Google, hope this helps you all!

She has donated millions and millions of pounds www.philanthropy-impact.org/inspiration/personal-stories/jk-rowling-obe

You do you. You get to choose how you refer to yourself.

What I struggle with is rapists with penises in female prisons.

JK has given massive funding to research neurological conditions in memory of her mother who had MS. In time that could have a massive positive impact on many many people with degenerative neurological conditions.
