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

[Deltoids1]

She posts this.

... and the left there seems to be on the verge of mania. I don't know if I blame them, given the state of their Presidency, and police actions, mind you.

Johnny Smugface is a tonic.

@flootered i’m in ROI too so there’s at least 2 of us. We’re not alone either ...maybe we need a special handshake?

Flootered it is really perplexing and depressing when people who should know better go full TRA.

I have a friend in ROI who was very woke but has posted ... much less about it all lately. I'm starting to wonder ...

Wales seems to be understanding what a woman is and that women menstruate, most Welsh men however fear menstruating Welsh women 😂

Oh what a relief @MadamBatty but a handshake doesn't sound inclusive enough 😉 loads of my crowd are women who rallied explicitly for women's rights just a couple of years ago ffs.

Seems I've finally found my "tribe" though, I always wondered when this would happen 😁

Flootered, MadamBatty, can you tell me the handshake?

I'm delighted that JKR has been so brave and stunning.

That makes 3 of us. At least.

This is starting to feel like the famous five, what fun! Shall we have ginger beer in a mysterious abondoned old caravan while we chair our GC meeting??

maybe it should be a smack in the head for anybody who says TWAW & yer Ma says wise up?

I’ve found some female friends have some vague idea that the TWAW mantra is something to do with gay rights. If i try question them they stick their fingers in their ears

Busy day today, so it's taken a while to catch up with this thread.

Thank You JKR. It's my youngest DD's birthday and this is a wonderful present.

Ireland, republic of, here too.

I have joined the twitter and am now following her.

@IheartJK

I'm so emotional. I got doxxed two years ago to my employer for sharing the dictionary definition of woman on twitter. My life was made hell, screenshots on Facebook and my child's school Facebook page. Spun into devastating depression, stepped away from everything and just lately getting my life back.

The fear of this happening stops so many of us from speaking up. Now I'm retired, no one can silence my voice. I'm more than willing to speak out for those of you who who are still being silenced.

Doubt anything will change now the 1% ers have told us what is right for everyone.

But we can fight back as the 99% can't we? Surely we can FGS.

Thank you, Soontobe. I am fairly sure I would never work again if I was openly gc. The day may come when I don't care ....

@Apileofballyhoo maybe we need our own ROI meet up when restrictions are lifted. You’ll recognise me I’m an adult female. i don’t gave blue hair.

@fluttered if we’re the famous 5 I bagsie George

Ireland here too. Maybe follow Stella O'Malley and, I know he's not favoured here, but John Boyne has at least now spoken out openly and supported JK. Plenty of supporters on both. Mad plenty of dissenters on others too.

JameelaJamil..... Embarrassed for her... 'Mouth closed, purse open' - and she says she's feminist?!? And totally dismissive of any objectors.

I'm calmed by how many ROIers there are here. What are your SM feeds like? I can't help wonder how I got lumped with such different people to me throughout life.

@Soontobe60 thank you so much. I'm another one who can only oh so subtley speak for fear of my life being dismantled.

To start off with

Oh JameelaJamil makes me queasy!
How she spoke about Caroline Calloway on a recent podcast was disgusting, she's not close to being a feminist.

Well of course Jameela’s had to get her two pence in there as well hasn’t she.

She is so desperate to be the Wokest Woke person in Wokeland. It’s actually rather pathetic.

Another RoI person here- I've occasionally ventured onto Boards, and left, depressed.

I dont talk about this much, outside of family. Probably out of fear of backlash in work.

I suspect that the vast majority are at the "ah, would you ever cop on" end of the spectrum (I hope so- but Regina Doherty's notions about lowering the age to 16, do concern me).

Why would anyone think that this issue is prevalent?

TBH I doubt the majority either know about it or care less.

To me it is a women denigrating thing. But what the heck, was always thus anyway.

So Emma Watson is getting pushed to comment? Is anyone bothering the male actors? If not then that tells us what we need to know.
And why should she comment? She was once in a film that was based on a book, her opinion isn’t really any more relevant than anyone else’s.

Also, if you regularly bleed out of your genitals you are either a woman or have a serious medical issue. You will know which you are.

Or just wait to see if you are expected to wipe an arse or floor. No matter what goes on we always know what class of person is expected to wipe arses and floors.
