That is an extraordinary piece of writing. I hope many people read it.

The link doesn't work for me it's just showing as normal text, does anyone have another link please

Fuck that made me cry

Wonderful brave truthful woman ❤️

(& on her twitter she has posted it as “TERF wars” )

Please, please share on Facebook, please. We need to end this now

From the Independent
Among those to criticise Rowling include formerHarry PotterandFantastic Beastsstars Daniel Radcliffe and Eddie Redmayne.

So two incredibly privileged white men then.

Thank you, I needed this today.

I love her even more now - what a brave (and yes stunning) piece. It HAS to throw some light into the dark corners.

How fab to see the key issues - concern for harm done, a desire to explore and discuss the implications of legislation and medicalisation, expressed beautifully and with passion.

As a mother in particular - THANK YOU. Brava x

So beautifully and articulately written. Thank you JK

Amazing, thorough, thoughtful, logical, calm.

I'm not looking at the backlash yet, I'm just going to enjoy the moment.

THANK YOU JO!!!

How do you share on facebook

She is absolutely WONDERFUL. I really think this could inspire others to put their heads above the parapet. What a brilliant woman.

Wow. That's fantastic and so much from the heart.

I know she is very rich and successful but it's still very brave to put so much of herself out there considering how much of a private person she has been in the last couple of decades.

Thank you JK

That brought tears to my eyes.

And while I cannot share this or even mention it on social media without risking my job, I think she’s given me the courage to stop volunteering with La Leche League and (quietly, privately) use her writing to explain why.

I had been feeling so despairing the last few days reading all the vile, negative comments on social media about JK's comments. I was heartened when a few well-known faces supported her but then backed down. Just been reading Eddie Redmayne's comments saying he disagrees with her, obviously from the same school of PR as Daniel Ratcliff. And now reading this has just totally turned my mood around. What a well thought through, well-argued and reasoned piece of writing.

What a wonderful piece of writing! And yes, like others here, it made me cry.

Well said, JK.

I bloody love her right now.

Just hold your pointer on the nam3 at top of her website when you are in the article. Then you can copy and then paste on your Facebook

I have so much respect for her. She is awesome, in the truest sense of the world. Just incredible.

Thank you JK your words have made me braver, I will put my head above the parapet, thank you.

Oh Jo. 💐 Thank you! Thank you, thank you.

Every nail just got hit on the head, with compassion and calmness, reality and empathy, but also logic.

As a marital rape and domestic violence victim who endured 18months of prolonged abuse, thank you for understanding I want and need my safe space.

Thank you, Queen Jo

LUMOS!!

I love JK Rowling. Shared on FB and Twitter.

Having been told how hateful I am by friends and chastised at work for daring to voice concern for women and girls, anyone who tells me off for posting it will be told I don't care if they think I'm hateful.
