The more I think about it, the more outraged I am about DR.

If you think of the experiences of Daniel, Rupert and Emma growing up, it wasn't Daniel or Rupert who were openly objectified once they hit their teen years. (looking at your Russell Howard). It wasn't Daniel or Rupert who had paps up skirting them once the turned 18 (sexual assault?), it wasn't Daniel or Rupert who bravely stood up as a UN ambassador and faced backlash for suggesting some men might want to stand up for women (HeforShe campaign). What would Daniel's campaign be? HeforHewhowanttobeSheswhilstshuttingdownbiologicalShes? I'm so disappointed in the Boy who Mansplained.

It’s also telling that DR can state his opinion without fear of what the repercussions may be, Emma Watson on the other hand will be torn apart whichever side she supports. Wonder what the difference is between them ....

I also saw that Philip Pullman has made a very quiet foray in to The Terfdom. He made a one line reply (somethign like "I don't understand why everyone is angry with JKR either"; which angered the gender extremists; and then this one too: twitter.com/PhilipPullman/status/1270105447924727808

The tweet I originally saw is the one mentioned in the opening line of this excellent blog by excel pope: excelpope.wordpress.com/2020/06/09/northerner-illuminates

As far as I can tell, Graham Linehan is the only 'celeb' who has come out in support of JKR and this madness.
Love him.
