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?

But my personal favourite is JK Rowling has used her massive platform and influence almost exclusively to destroy the UK left and ruin the lives of trans people

Batten down the hatches, Jo.

NotTerfNorCis · 19/12/2019 14:44

Jo's novels are very moral and all about the little guy standing up for what's right even at great personal cost. She's taking a leaf from her own book.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 19/12/2019 14:45

The cartoon avatars are literally casting fake spells at her. I'm dying.

Are they clasping their wands?

Welcome Jo we've been keeping a seat warm for you x

JK Rowling really is a class act.

You will find yourself in good company. But thankyou thankyou. Flowers

I liked that one too, Haworthia! She is responsible for Boris too, I expect.

Something that is really sad is that there genuinely are a lot of vulnerable / different / gender nonconforming / trans and non-binary identifying kids who find a lot of solace in Harry Potter, as they identify with his ‘freakishness’. By deliberately misconstruing JK’s very reasonable tweet as her being transphobic and hating these kids, the TRA’s are the ones causing the real damage to them. It’s actually really cruel.

I've liked and replied to her tweet using my personal twitter handle with my real name. My head is firmly above the parapet now! This is too important to stay quiet on.

We need Therese Coffey to introduce legislation clarifying women's sexed based protections and enshrining our legal right to talk about sex as discrete from 'gender'. Put an end to this bot-based rubbish.

Goslowlysideways · 19/12/2019 14:54

Love her. Twitter is responding with vitriol

Tootsweets23 · 19/12/2019 14:54

Go JK! Such a superstar.

It isn't just the anime avatars going bonkers. Here are three successful female TV critics all saying how awful JK is for daring to support a woman's right to say sex exists. The telling line is that there is a hierarchy of oppression and trans women are at the top, so standing up for women's rights means we are the oppressor class.

Well they have form for telling kids cruel lies of promises they can change sex so I'm not at all surprised.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 19/12/2019 14:55

And yet the likes continue to rise and the ratio is in her favor.

Needmoresleep · 19/12/2019 14:55

Some other good names joining in.

Women should not be silenced., We should not have our language taken from us.

JustASmallTownCurl · 19/12/2019 14:55

What did Amanda Abbington say that she has since deleted?

JK is such a legend. I'm having a shit day, ill and now I'm going to have a Potter marathon. Love her.

Needmoresleep · 19/12/2019 14:56

Sorry autocorrect

"Thank you for doing this." JHB

TiredofthisBS · 19/12/2019 14:56

How the hell is JK's tweet transphobic?

Helmetbymidnight · 19/12/2019 14:57

Twitter isn't happy.

They feel betrayed and v angry..It's horrible to read.

And blimey, that Aidan Comerford, is it? What a cunt.

HorseWithNoTimeForCis · 19/12/2019 14:58

At last, some good news! I'm quite excited about this.

Biology is transphobic, according to these loons.
