To think a poster in Waverley Station in Edinburgh which says I ♡ J K Rowling is not promoting a political viewpoint?

Network Rail removed a poster at Waverley Station in Edinburgh last night following a complaint from a transactivist that it was a dogwhistle to transphobes. Here is a picture so you can judge for yourselves. JKR lives in Edinburgh and wrote the Harry Potter novels there. She is one of the best-known writers in the world. Her recently expressed views on women's rights and safeguarding of children from unevidenced medical treatment are not transphobic and not in any way illegal or hate speech.

Where does this stop? Network Rail Scotland currently has a rainbow logo on Twitter. Isn't that a political viewpoint too, using this new approach where words don't mean what the dictionary says, but whatever an activist wants to believe they mean?

Posie is a fucking genius 🍷

I’m sure if there was an ‘I Love Posie Parker’ poster up in the station, there would be plenty of people in a froth about it on mumsnet.

Waverley Station isn’t a public organisation. They can make whatever decision they like about displaying or removing posters.

They can indeed. And every time this happens they give more publicity to the issue and women listen and say , what? hold on a minute that cant be right, surely nobody is that controlling, oh ....

I think the timing is excellent with the new ‘Hatey, hurty feelings’ law they are plotting...
