I’m also so over DR and ER mansplaining this. Idiots 🙄🙄

I just love her so much. Such an extraordinarily brave woman, I can't even put into words what I'm feeling, but as another victim of domestic abuse and sexual assault I understand that jumpiness she describes. If you're reading, don't let the bastards grind you down, and thank-you for making this easier to talk about.

Posted too soon Blush

I feel that all I can say is thanks. I have no words that can be used to describe my feelings on this.

mum2jakie · 10/06/2020 18:51

She's an amazing woman. Hope she knows how much respect she has earned with writing like this. An inspiration.

Clymene · 10/06/2020 18:52

Thank you Jo for having courage and absolute clarity. You are an awesome woman and I'm so glad you made contact with Magdalen. I can imagine you two getting on

Alabamawhirly1 · 10/06/2020 18:52

Brilliant. Put so well. The gc message is going to reach so many people now.

Michelleoftheresistance · 10/06/2020 18:52

Amazing woman. Flowers That is a calm, well explained and personal explanation of the female pov.

It makes Radcliffe's "sorry about her, its important to be kind to people born male" look the vague fluff it truly is.

I've spoken to several people in the past few days who usually have none of this stuff on their radar, who have picked up on this fuss through the papers and asked me what it's all about. Now they will know, and any typical person will understand how 'be kind' is used as a weapon of female suppression.

Joanne, if you're reading this, thank you. Thank you for using your voice and standing up for the females who stand to lose their equality, identity, civil rights and spaces for the betterment and happier customer experience of males.

Fascinating (and tiring) to see how - yet again - so many responses are saying "DON'T READ THIS!". Yet more evidence that the TRA project is one of evading sunlight and air, rather than even attempting reasoned debate.

GrimDamnFanjo · 10/06/2020 18:54

What a brilliant piece of writing. I think she just needs to keep tweeting that link! It's really not possible to misconstrue and twist her words after reading that!

Doyoumind · 10/06/2020 18:54

I'm so glad she has taken control of the situation and calmly presented her view. I hope it will give some of the uninformed pause for thought. I'll be keeping my eye on the TRA response but it's fairly easy to predict.

OvaHere · 10/06/2020 18:54

I've emailed her. I know she won't get to read all the zillions of emails that no doubt get sent to that PR address so I made sure I put a very supportive title so at least her staff can gauge how many stand with her.

It was quite cathartic to write even nobody reads it. I did get a thank you response though so perhaps someone in her office did.

Worrysaboutalot · 10/06/2020 18:55

Thank you so much, for standing up for womens rights. The world is a better place for having you in it. Flowers

MrGHardy · 10/06/2020 18:56

As someone mentioned early on, the usual suspects are either completely denying it, or making up lies.

LouHotel · 10/06/2020 18:56

I think her pr team got the tip off about ER comments, it's too funny they got posted at the same time so he looks a bigger dick.

Apollo440 · 10/06/2020 18:56

Oh my God! I love this woman. We needed someone of this stature to stand up and she did. No one can dismiss her in real life and this will be debated at long last. Glinner, you got your wish. You are not alone.

God yes. Poor old Graham, alone in the wilderness for years now. I hope he doesn't forget the weaklings either, when we come out the other side of this madness.

As a sexual assault survivor who relies on single sex spaces, thank you for your bravery, and for saying what I am unable to articulate.

TheLastSaola · 10/06/2020 19:01

Kick ass super star

iswhois · 10/06/2020 19:01

What she's written here is what peak transed my husband- he never understood the big deal before

CosmicVagina · 10/06/2020 19:02

That is one classy lady

JemimaShore · 10/06/2020 19:04

You know what, something I have (somewhat childishly) relished about this, is that no matter how much abuse has been thrown at her, JK has not been "ratio-ed" on twitter. Likes & retweets are HUGE. She remains popular, no matter what they throw at her.

kittlesticks · 10/06/2020 19:05

I love her I love her I love her!!

lucyintheskywithcz · 10/06/2020 19:05

Amazing

OhHolyJesus · 10/06/2020 19:07

Can someone on twitter send this to Jonathan Ross?
