It's only right!

@VladmirsPoutine

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.

Again, exactly how has she done this? What did she say that you find so offensive?

@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 ❤️❤️

And still no reasons given as to why JKR is hateful. Well done you.

Eh, she does. Bless you man.

I'm not raging in the slightest.

I do think if you're going to make certain claims you should be able to back them up with facts, but if you can't, then I guess we can draw our own conclusions.

Nominated her.

Great woman. Great charities. But she don’t boast Look at her charity lumos. How she pays for all admin and staff.

Look how she funds work into MS at universities

JKR. Thank you

‘She’s a TERF!’

‘Oh really - how?’

‘Idk, would have to look it up and I don’t have time plus I’ve blocked her so I don’t really know’

Awkward……

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

^^ biological males in women's sports and women refuges that I gripe at

Nah not raging here either, I would be raging if you tried making other people call themselves that pr say that's what they did.

Unfortunately I don’t have the time to do all of the research being asked of me

Because finding the recently published words of an incredibly famous author is just soooooo exhausting. Why bother when we can defame them with minimal effort and zero consequences for ourselves! Hurrah for the internet!

That’s great the you don’t mind, but plenty of women do mind. FYI No child has ever been fed from a chest. A chest is a cavity- a breast however is an organ which contains mammary glands. This is why language is important.

And which parts of those statements are hateful? Which bits of those tweets do YOU think are hateful?
I can't see a hateful word among them, just facts.

I don't see anything hateful there.

Is it because she used the word 'woman' - is that hateful?

Jk could tweet her love for Dr Who and some fuck wit could twist it to being Transphobic somehow.

It's pretty obvious the whistle has went out to get the thread deleted. Just ignore.

She's amazing, I and many others have messaged to tell her. Long may it continue.

Happy birthing person card 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️😎

I've nominated too.

nominated, said submitted successfully.

am sure they are frantically deleting at guardian HQ

If anything, that article completely disproves your point

Why are you all allowing this very obvious derail?? Ignore it. This thread isn’t about trans people.

And the weird thing is that men have breasts too

Thats the bit i dont get with the chest feeding thing

Men actually have breasts!

@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 ❤️

Sending love to trans women who, if they read these boards, are reminded that natal women are a thing. JK has said nothing anti-trans, merely pro-woman, and anyone who can't see the difference just isn't that smart, or is wilfully dumb.

She tweeted this KNOWING how much hate she would get from TRAs, but did it because she cares more about women who have been raped. She is rich enough to stay silent and live a peaceful life, but speaks out for women like me and you who can't.

Those speaking against her, please tell me how you can disagree with this?
