Dress however you please.
Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?

Current ratio:

For all the sound and fury, they can't ratio her!

Sorry, my post was to the suggestion her publishers would be tearing their hair out.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 19/12/2019 17:39

I've only got ebook versions of Harry Potter, think it's time to get a set of hardback copies

Get the big illustrated ones, they're really nice...

I wish people would keep posting photos of Gregor Murray so all the Americans flooding JK's feed realise this is who Maya was expected to say was biologically female.

Nonbinary I believe, but yes, identifies as trans.
Most people in the UK don't know who he is either.

I rtweeted JKR

Now I feel v. anxious.

Ridiculous right!

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 19/12/2019 17:42

Well done Helmet. Courage calls to courage.

PeterRouseTheFleshofMankind · 19/12/2019 17:45

The likes on her tweet are going up at an incredible rate!

IpanemaGallina · 19/12/2019 17:45

JKR is fabulous and fearless. We are lucky to have her and my two dd’s (12 and 15) agree.

Helmetbymidnight · 19/12/2019 17:46

I'd better not have blown my career. ;)

Sheesh. I'll keep an eye on my follower numbers.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 19/12/2019 17:47

Is that ...

FruitcakeOfHate · 19/12/2019 17:48

I just showed one tweet which said trans brains have been shown to be the new sex they want to be, to a psychiatrist family friend. He laughed his head off.

Exactly! Fantasy land, that.

Helmetbymidnight?????

FWRLurker · 19/12/2019 17:48

You can buy them through JK's charity Lumos which would be a nice touch.

PeterRouseTheFleshofMankind · 19/12/2019 17:51

It's getting about 1000 likes a minute at the moment - that's a lot of people!

PeterRouseTheFleshofMankind · 19/12/2019 17:52

I've also learnt what 'getting ratioed' actually means today as well!

FruitcakeOfHate · 19/12/2019 17:53

Trans activists in meltdown after years of staring into the Mirror of Erised only to be told by its creator that it's fiction.

This line wins the internet!

CatChant · 19/12/2019 17:55

Thank you for your courage, JK. You knew exactly the storm this would unleash and you went ahead anyway.

VortexofBloggery · 19/12/2019 17:57

I love the big illustrated books of HP. I have only found them up to book 3 (azkerban), does anyone know where I can buy big illustrated books for the later series?

VortexofBloggery · 19/12/2019 17:58

Oh, and this tweet by JK was bloody fantastic.

Devereux1 · 19/12/2019 17:58

What does it mean please, as I keep hearing it but every explanation seems to refer to different things?

PorpentinaScamander · 19/12/2019 18:01

@VortexofBloggery

I dont think they are all available yet. IIRC the Goblet of Fire is the most recent one

DeRigueurMortis · 19/12/2019 18:01

I don't think they are all out yet Vortex if you are referring to the deluxe editions.

The most recent to be release was the Goblet of Fire.

You can buy them on Amazon.

They are very pricy (£85) but absolutely beautiful.
