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

@DohnJoe

So much bigotry against transgender folk, even here. Unfortunate.

No. Don't do that, please. It's clearly not true.

Did you join MN to tell us we're bigots DohnJoe?

Women menstruate, our biology is not bigotry!

All cows lactate, bulls, even white spotted ones aren't attempting to feed a calf and we don't call it a cow.

@MrsFionaCharming, I started reading the Robert Galbraith books last weekend and am now three quarters through the third one. Really enjoying them.

@DohnJoe please do report any transphobia and biogtry you see, Mumsnet HQ are always quick to zap it.

Bummer about Clue. I’ll message them and delete.

Please show us the bigotry?

Very noticeable that you can't explain what you mean.

When women have to compare themselves to livestock for people to understand, you suddenly realise you are literally living in some sort of Animal Farm scenario

Oooh, our first plopper on the thread.

The 'how can she do this during Pride / a pandemic / BLM protests' is so telling.

Looked at another way, maybe she though everyone would be so focused on BLM that she could post without attracting too much attention.

But no, TRAs cannot possibly ignore a woman being so outrageous, black lives don't matter if transgender people are at risk of not being validated by everyone.

Yes the real question is "why does a woman stating that biology is real distract you so much?"

I need educating on this because to my knowledge biologically only females menstruate don't they?

I don't understand why some feel the need to shove this down our necks at every opportunity, why can't people accept that not everyone accepts that men don't bleed!

Men do bleed, but they don't menstruate!
It doesn't matter if some people "don't accept this". It remains a biological fact.

I forgot to reply to this. The answer is yes.

I am not on Twitter. I have, however, just ordered the first two Robert Galbraith novels.

"Grain of truth" is an awfully polite way to say "testicles".

If a man is bleeding from his genitals then he should probably go see a doctor about that.

I think it's high time my almost 8 year old was introduced to Harry Potter!

I woke up, had a nice cup of tea, then scrolled fb. Am mildly boggled that a Jane Austen fan page I follow is currently splashing Rowling blood all up the walls and baying. Jane Fucking Austen fans. She must be rolling in her grave.
I give Haddock about six hours before he waded back in to the #narcissistsrus fray. He can’t bear not to be involved.
Thanks for the twitter links too. Am still banned after posting that Shon Faye made much more sense when Shon was penning articles about a man wearing make-up than when Shon launched a book about being a woman, so... (am still laughing at Shon’s dark past as gender critical). Never did buy it. Will order a couple more of Jo’s today, and will keep fiercely hoping she stands her ground.

So much misogyny and ageism in the negative responses. The anime characters are out in force. One day they will grow up and discover the real world. Their abusive language and threats of violence towards JKR tell you everything you need to know about the movement and the sex of the majority of them.

The anime characters won't grow up and discover the real world. They can't cope with their reality so disappear into a fictional online world where they're a Japanese teenage girl wearing knee socks rather than an overweight balding 42 year old white bloke in Idaho.

Still ongoing, found a very unpleasant thread with numerous nasty people all calling her a c*nt. My report finger has been so busy I'm surprised my phone screen isn't smoking

FGM survivors have to be 'inclusive'
