James Kirkup writes in Spectator about how JKR’s tweet has signicantly amplified this debate. He talks about the threat to freedom of speech and the bullying which those who speak out face. Great article

Several commentators have concluded that amounts to a judicial prohibition on women stating that people who were born male and who have male anatomy are men, if those people describe themselves as women. I’ll leave it to readers to draw their own conclusions about what that means for free expression and the debate of ideas

James has been brilliant throughout this.

I love that he put this out in the aftermath.
James has said in several pieces that many big names/politicans want to speak out but don't.

JK and JK have spine - I hope others follow suit and that includes you Stephen King.
