Just when you think you couldn’t love JK Rowling more...

[Deltoids1]

She posts this.

And goes to show just how high your platform must be in order to speak out about this without fear of reprisals as a woman.

Very much agree with Sophie Walker's tweet.

Life made. I cancelled my twitter account but I'm loving the hilariously predictable headlines on woke news outlets.

'Harry Potter creator basically punches gay people' etc. What a shame for them that people can actually read.

...and MarDhea, thanks for the Irish link; I'll check it out now that I've moved there. To date the only Irish place I check out is on Reddit and that's all Covid 19 atm!

I think they are enraged because those men can not ruin her career.

She could never write again and still have her billions.

That's why they are angry, they can not pull a successful woman down, she's already made it!

Her platform is untouchable, and they know it, and it shakes their fragile male ego's.

She'll not only still have her billions, she's continue to make them! Her books will go on earning for her and her heirs to her death and 75 years beyond. They can't ruin her.

To be fair to Sophie, and correct me if I have this wrong, but wasn't she originally TWAW and then came to a women's place meeting, listened, took notes and adjusted her stance?

That's exactly what we should want to see and not berate people for changing their stance..

An old feminist protest friend of mine has posteda gif on Instagram of Harry Potter rolling his eyes, I'd like to to think that's an eye roll at the outrage?

Thanks for the support BTW, it was the worst on my children. The "why is she so interested in young people's genitalia" was the worst. Again, all I did was post the dictionary definition of woman.

The 'how can she do this during Pride / a pandemic / BLM protests' is so telling. In other words, wait in line, women until there's nothing else going on in the world. It's the woke equivalent of 'after the revolution, Love'.

JKR isn’t on our side and we can’t MAKE her be on our side so why should she even be allowed to SPEAK and how can she be so HOWWIBLE to us it’s not FAIR and no one is allowed to tweet about anything that isn’t BLM anyway [except all the people I say can tweet about anything they want, including me] and VILE MISOGYNISTIC RANT and her books meant so much to me this will literally kill me but and she can’t write for toffee anyway you’re a big fat LOSER JKR and I don’t care about you at all yah boo sucks
I don’t care so much I’m going to KEEP ON TWEETING IN CAPITALS and I’m going to scream and scream and scream until I’m sick and THEN YOU’LL BE SORRY

But WHY CAN’T WE MAKE HER DO WHAT WE WANT??? Don’t we actually control the universe and reality??? I DON’T UNDERSTAAAAANNNNNDDD

its a narcissistic teenage temper tantrum visible from space!

lamahaha indeed, she's literally laughing all the way to the bank! And good on her.

My Facebook feed of Harry potter lovers and middle aged moderate voters, working class have all agreed with me. My fellow 30 year olds also all agree with me, even my male gay friends.

Trans-woman is a trans-woman. Person who menstruates is a woman. #fact is what one male friend wrote.

Women menstruate. It's not attacking anyone. We all sat in a biology class at one time of our education and covered reproduction 🙄

Eh. I imagine about now JKR is grateful she’s not a fox.

Yes!

eresh indeed, one of my friends replied to one of them who attacked me for sharing my support of JK theis said "my childhood is a lie, I feel like killing myself" my friend replied "your death certificate would say male, hope that helps clear up the confusion."

I was a bit 😯 but he is male and a squaddie and nobody has abused him back, I know if a woman had replied like that they would have attacked her.

"your death certificate would say male, hope that helps clear up the confusion."

I love her. She is so strong & clever & truthful.

Thanks for the support BTW, it was the worst on my children. The "why is she so interested in young people's genitalia" was the worst. Again, all I did was post the dictionary definition of woman.

@IheartJK are you JK?!

I may be getting giddy and confused...

You can comment on the Indy without subscribing (in the sense of paying anything). You simply have to register and then you can add comments using a pseudonym of your choice.

But you have to click on the right-hand comments column, not the 'Premium' one on the left. Hardly anyone seems to use that Premium option.

#istandwithjkrowling is what's trending now.

On Sophie Walker - I remember this webchat, I posted twice on it (forgot one of my posts though I remembered the other)

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_live_events/2617026-Webchat-with-Sophie-Walker-leader-of-the-Womens-Equality-Party-and-London-Mayor-candidate-Tuesday-19-April-at-noon?pg=2&messages=100

What was obvious then, is that she was really uncomfortable with the "what is a woman?" line of questioning and had prepared some manipulative quasi-intellectual brisk superior-toned stuff to brush it away. It didn't go down well, because mumsnetters (as women) are used to being patronised and brushed off like that, know we are being fobbed off, don't like it, and are looking to a representative to treat us with more respect.

What I wonder now is whether she was so uncomfortable because she always knew that TW ARE WOMEN is bobbins, but wasn't allowed to go there.

I'm not sure if any one uses Clue but they have jumped on the JK thread against her.

They did something previously that annoyed me but this was the nail in the coffin and I've deleted the app I've used for years.

It's an app for women to track their periods. They've basically came out with the same garbage that it's not just women that menstruate and by not using 'women' they are actually inclusive!

No way will I knowingly use an app for women that won't use the term women.

Yikes no sorry! Up thread I hares how emotional I was and grateful to JK because I was doxxed two years ago and my life and career momentarily destroyed. People on here were lovely and I so regret not coming here sooner

Clue is shit anyway. Stupid imaging. All trendy visual crap that makes no sense. Stupid erasure of women.

Fertility friend is miles better.

Thanks I will download that instead.

Oh sorry Iheart! I hadnt twigged the username.

But absolutely goes to show how fucked up it is. I'm so sorry for what happened. You wrote what she did. And you get that.

That's a shame- I like clue.

Thanks for the tip on Clue, just checked my app and it's not them. Good.
