Flowers thank you for standing up for our future. May we all find more strength to speak up and be heard.

I'm not sending you flowers, JK (Joanne?), I'm sending you pens. Mightier than the sword and all that. Lots of accidentally male imagery there, oops... I look forward to reading the amazing (and lucrative) book you chisel out of this Genderwang nonsense. StarBrewCake

I got a lovely reply including wishing me great success with the novel I am writing. I am glad I sent it.

Here's my ThanksThanks for her

Thank you Jo. Because of your bravery I msgd a few (female and feminist) friends and family today, to spread the word. I honestly don't think people outside of mumsnet know what this is all about. Received mixed reactions but none were what I was hoping for. I tried very hard to explain it. People don't get the huge ramifications for women and girls because - I guess - it sounds like madness. I'm starting to think that (like BLM) if we stay quiet we're part of the problem?

Meg I think it’s because most people aren’t on Twitter. They don’t know how extreme the demands are. They don’t know how horrific the abuse is. They don’t know about the complicity of our politicians. None of this is being reported in MSM.

CheeryTreeBlossom · 09/06/2020 21:11

Flowers Thank you so much for using your platform despite all the vitriol you receive.

As a millennial I feel so alone in my friends group who have drunk the kool aid, but I am hoping to channel some of your courage and have the necessary conversations.

cherrytreeblossom I think my daughter (14) has also drunk the kool aid, and I thought she was a feminist. The world has gone mad.

@Maria53
That's lovely, that sounds like it could have been JK directly. I literally just got 'dear blossom, thank you for your email and support, kind regards office of JK Rowling' so took mine to be someone on her PR team.

UltimateIrritant · 09/06/2020 21:27

Flowers and a massive hug - alongside my thanks.

An entire Covent Garden of flowers for JK Flowers Flowers Flowers

Can I ask those who have had replies if they come from someone at the publishers, or is it her personal team? I drafted an email this morning but I am an author and am afraid that all the reasons I can't be open about this on twitter will still apply if her emails are handled by Bloomsbury. UK publishing is a tiny world, and my twitter timeline today proves it is a ridiculously woke one Angry

I wonder if we can get a message to DR about information released today by two respected charities: Water Aid and Plan International...

They have released data that women and girls are restricted during this lockdown from going out due to no public toilets.

Daniel, being an expert in menstruation, will appreciate that women and girls plan ahead before they go out as access to clean toilets is very much needed when their is a requirement for sanitary products. Women who have experienced childbirth ( obvs including trans women) will appreciate that urge incontinence is a huge issue and public toilets are necessary.
Perhaps he could support these charities?

Mine was signed off "Office of JK Rowling", if that helps.

Know what you mean about publishing (I follow a few authors on Twitter).

Here's an extra special vulva flower - for a woman with a vulva, from a woman with a vulva.
Well done JKR!! At least some people out there talk with some common sense!
