If the Harry Potter reddit is anything to go by it's already being deliberately twisted and misquoted

Seriously, why do people do this?

Well done JK. I really want to post this on my page, but I KNOW I’ll get a backlash saying that we should be concentrating on BLM and not ‘pushing feminism again’ ☹️

I was soooo disappointed and felt so let down by Daniel Radcliffe who I have long admired for his feminist support and the way in which he conducts himself publicly.

I am nervously waiting for something from Emma Watson. Who I do hope won’t let us all down 😕

Email JK for support and also your MPs. They have to know they the silent majority, isn't that silent.

I emailed the address from earlier in the thread and got a reply from her team so they are reading the emails. Defo worth doing it if you can cos you don’t for damned sure those who hate her will be, and I think it’s important to show her and her team how many of us agree with her.

Can't see anything about on BBC online - maybe it doesn't fit their narrative?

What have the BodyShop said ? I can’t find it.

Yes I emailed this morning and received a lovely response. I work in a high preyed job, with very intelligent people, but if i shared this I would be sacked. Ours absolutely appalling how women have been silenced en masse.

I got one too

I've just emailed her. I really wanted to show my support and, at the moment, that's the only way I can. I'm not ready to share on my FB yet, but I hope I will find the courage in the next day or two. I'm definitely going to write to my MP as well, that's a great idea.

She's already nailed her colours to the mast, she posted a heavily filtered, blurry photo of herself with big hair, pouting and wearing a trans rights are human rights t shirt ages ago.

Beautifully written, I have shared it among my family. Thinking about sharing it on my social media although I will get dogs abuse if I do.

That is the best piece of writing I have read in a very long time - deserves a standing ovation.

Amazing. I put my head above the parapet for the first time on Twitter by retweeting the essay with a comment about how it reflects everything I want to articulate but can't, and the first reply was "ok terf quiet down".

Sunlight. Sunlight. Sunlight.

What's the email address to write to for her please?

Heart warming, like many of us have always said-we don’t hate trans people, it is the ideology that is so harmful to women and children. Beautifully written

She also interviewed Paris Lees and 'cried' about how people didn't want to share a bathroom with her.

Should us turfs lay overselves down and to be walked all over? Will we web regularly watered by those pissing all over us?

Normally a lurker, and have until recently been vary wary to publicly reveal my GC views for various reasons (like many others here I expect). But, I think it is time to risk losing some FB friends of the woke zombie variety. What a fantastic piece of writing. JKR, if you're here, thank you.

OMG - it's absolutely fantastic. I might actually repost it on Facebook and come out as gender-critical and take the consequences. It is so well-written and well argued, I cannot see how any reasonable person could take offence.

I'm not someone who agrees with JKR on everything, but her actions the last few days and taking the time effort to write this deserve nothing but admiration.

I have so much respect for her

She also interviewed Paris Lees and 'cried' about how people didn't want to share a bathroom with her.

I knew when I read about Robyn in the Strike books that JK gets it at a deep visceral level.
She knows how much it affects the choices you make playing yourself small, staying with the “safe” boyfriend or alternatively denying your scared and taking stupid risks.

I didn’t know how much she was writing from her own personal experience. She knows why women and girls need safe spaces.

She didn’t have to do this. She could have kept quiet and said nothing but she didn’t she spoke her truth. Calmly and eloquently. Even knowing that would bring death and rape threats on her. I already loved her. I didn’t think I could love her this much more.
