It's only right!

Nominated.

Ignore and just report the pathetic derailing attempts. The emperor has no clothes and more and more people are realising this.

@VladmirsPoutine she is helping people though. She’s not even a billionaire anymore as she’s given away so much of her wealth to charitable causes.

I really don't get how standing up for women is transphobic.

Sometimes when I see the stuff on here about JK Rowling I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. I don't get how it is transphobic and I wish someone would actually show a quote or something where she says she's anti transpeople.

Once it’s closed we could do an FOI to ask how many votes the finalists got?

Nominated!

@Mumoftwoinprimary

Done.

For reason I put “For demonstrating time and time again what it means to be in Gryffindor.”

I love this

^^ definitely! I can't imagine the guardian publicly acknowledging our votes

I have nominated her too. Would also not have known about it as I also avoid the Guardian like the plague

Done!

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.
Poor you

Nominated.

Done!!! Fabulous woman.

Nominated JK
What a great idea.

Nominated

She's a total hero. Courage, honesty, integrity and huge generosity.

I sometimes wonder if the derailers on these threads know how they come across. Do they realise there will be lots of people (I'm one) quietly reading their contributions and seeing quite clearly that they have nothing with which to back up their claims? We're not stupid. And every time you do it, the cries of "terf" and "transphobe" get that little bit thinner and weaker.

Yup read that. Nothing transphobic in what she said. But the person writing the article uses the word "transphobic".
I don't think that counts....

Raging? Nope, couldn’t give a shiny shit quite frankly. Just don’t expect to use that to describe me. I’m a woman who gave birth and I’m breastfeeding.

Done!

Done! My form was successfully submitted!

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 ❤️❤️

@Blessedandstresseddd so you’re chest feeding are you? Only earlier today you were 6 months pregnant with your first child. Curious contradiction, or a lie perhaps.....

I’ve nominated her too. She’s an absolutely awesome woman.

Do you know if there will be a vote afterwards?

@Porfre

Do you know if there will be a vote afterwards?

I doubt if the Guardian will even acknowledge that she’s been nominated, unfortunately.

Nominated JKR whose words have been inspirational. Thanks OP.

Done!
