Bloody good woman

Brilliant that Russell Moyle issued an apology, but I'm seething at what he said.

Her reply couldn't be more succinct and measured.

I'm posting this response because it's a beaut and deserves some more eyes rolling at it

I especially like how that spectacular fool goes on to equate JKR’s essay with ‘Mein Kampf’. 😂

‘ She cited Dworkin! You legend Joanne!’

THIS

Oh my fucking stars. There is a black woman on that thread talking to JK who has been 'frequently' accused of leveraging her experience and trauma FGM 'to be transphobic'.

Frequently.

Just when I think I've seen the worst and ugliest depths of this political movement and it's utter inability to care for anyone or anything but self, it happens again.

I must admit I have something in my eye reading that .

She's such a classy woman.

I hope Keir Starmer reads that....

I have nothing but support for her regarding this. It’s funny how many on the left are becoming so extreme that they don’t realise that they have become who they claim to hate the most.

And now he has popped up. I wouldn’t have expected this - a kind of support?

JK Rowling, you are a fucking legend.

Oh my fucking stars. There is a black woman on that thread talking to JK who has been 'frequently' accused of leveraging her experience and trauma FGM 'to be transphobic'.

It's just extraordinary. I tell you what, though. I'm used now to the fact that men and TRAs come out with this shit. What I find unforgivable is the number of women I see going along with it. Women who call themselves feminists believing that you shouldn't "weaponise" violence against women. There is a special place in hell for them.

Brilliant that Russell Moyle issued an apology

I saw a frantic, arse-covering attempt at mitigation, but not much in the way of actual apologetic sentiment or acknowledgment of why what he said was wrong. 🤷‍♀️

He’s a man in fear of losing his job who has asked for the evidence of his misogyny to be removed from public view. Pathetic coward.

@BigBadVoodooHat

What a waste of a tweet. At least argue your point!

Ah, but to do that you have to have an actual point, and the intellect to articulate it.

Too true

The papers will have to pick this up tomorrow, I wonder if that will force Keir’s hand because ifs not going to blow over quietly now.

Oh my fucking stars. There is a black woman on that thread talking to JK who has been 'frequently' accused of leveraging her experience and trauma FGM 'to be transphobic

I saw that - but that's the nature of the "transwomen are the most oppressed ever and speaking out about biological women in any way is transphobic" demands. All our collective experiences are cancelled.

JKR is a legend.

Love her. Articulate, reasoned, stats and facts to back her argument. Refuses to get drawn into slanging matches.

Awesome woman.

Wow!

If I had the level of F U money that JK has I would in no way be this classy. Probably better for society that shes rich rather than me.

Thank you JK.

She is amazing!

@MonsteraCheeseplant

She cited Dworkin! You legend Joanne!

Yes, total legend. ❤️

What did Russel Moyle tweet as an apology?

It must be so infuriating to the TRAs that she is such a powerful woman that she can’t be silenced and she can’t be forced into apologising, that whatever she says will be reported around the world and that if she never sold another book she would live the rest of her life in luxury.

His apology:

"I want to apologies unreservedly about the comments in the article that I wrote last week in Tribune regarding Trans rights in which I mention J.K. Rowling.

J.K. Rowling's first disclosures of domestic abuse and sexual assault in her recent article on Trans issues .were heartfelt and must have been hard to say. Whilst I may disagree with some of her analysis on trans rights, it was wrong of me to suggest that she used her own dreadful experience in anything other than good faith.

I have asked Tribune to remove the line in question."

It’ll be interesting to see how KS responds to the gauntlet that’s been thrown down

He'll just stay silent. I have written to the Labour party to say I was thinking of rejoining, but after that appalling article I will need to see a clear statement against woman hatred before I do.

His comments were disgusting, truly disgusting. And the usual thick straw men. I am always happy to debate, but how can you debate with people to argue against points you have never made? I have never seen anything like this. I really haven't.

JK Rowling is just freaking amazing - such dignity and bravery! She could easily just enjoy her wealth. As she says, she will likely never be imprisoned nor need a women's refuge but she is prepared to speak out and be viciously attacked - "exploiting" her own abuse FFS!!!! - to stand up for more vulnerable women. I love her.

As for that worm Lloyd Russell-Moyle I have no words!

The woman after woman on that Twitter thread saying, 'me too.' 'I'm afraid because of my abuse and I've been ridiculed'. 'I've tried to share my experience and been told to shut up, it's transphobic.' I'm in tears reading it.

If there's proof needed that female humans need spaces to be alone from males because males talk over them, males cannot relate to and do not care about female needs, because males won't let them talk or have space to talk unless its centering males, because only females truly hear female experience, there it is.

The courage, the bravery, the rationality, it's all on one side with JK. Bloody marvellous woman, ovaries of bloody steel.
