It's only right!

@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 ❤️❤️

You really haven’t read a word she’s said, have you?

Speaking of candles, she has a charity called Lumos that has done some incredible things.

Im a bit fed up of being told what to do and what to think on here

I just tried the form again and it doesn't seem to be working for me

Oh my god 😂😂

What does she actually say in that Galmour article that's hateful?
Sex matters and same sex attraction is what it means to be gay!? Are you saying that gender trumps it and lesbians have to have sex with 'lady penises'? I find that hateful.

I've nominated her. And I really hope she wins.

@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.

You need to do a little research. She stands strong, she funds, she acts. We are a better place for her example of how to live in society and give more than you take. What a woman.

@Blessedandstresseddd … have you actually read the article you linked to?

Cannot possibly have done

Done. I have never seen anything to suggest she has a problem with trans people. All she has done is speak out against the erosion of the rights of women to feel safe and maintain their own identity

Thanks for heads up
Nominated - I did get a form successfully submitted acknowledgement

I nominated her!

Nominated 😍
Shes a flipping hero love her ❤️

Fab idea - sadly for JKR she is not my person of the year. Kathleen Stock is, for her bravery and ovaries of pure steel. I nominated her instead.

Another vote from me. Women must stand up for women or our voices will drown out. Thank you JKR!

Done! Enthusiastically!

Life must be very difficult when a concept like "biological males aren't women" is baffling?
Humans can't change sex?
A male rapist shouldn't be in a woman's prison?
Which idea is the tricky one, here?

So you'll have no problem with using the term "penised person" to refer to a male person who calls themself a woman then. Great. Same page.

Nominated

Yes Kathleen stock is another amazing women! Jess de wahls really got some grief this year as well

Wait did stephen king say ‘jo canceled me’ ?

Oh god and I thought I couldn’t get any more embarrassed for other people

This is actually what she has done.

*'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……*

Brilliantly sums up the entire argument again JKR.

But, yes, let's keep the thread focused on what a talented, clever, inspirational, generous, brave woman she is I adore her!

Nominated.

I wouldn't have bothered jumping through the Guardian's patronising 'tell us a bit about yourself' hoops, but blessedandstresseddd reminded me why it's important to support the woman who does so much to support women. Thanks blessed

And as for JK could have gone down as one of the greats of our time - you really think she hasn't??
