Bloody good woman

The Tories will be waiting on Sir Kier’s response with bated breath. They (and surely Labour) know that if he fails to kick the little turd out he is positioning the Labour Party as against the Governments plans not to reform the GRA. It will then be a distinct choice of For Women (Tory) or Against Women (Labour).

Frightening thought.

i saw them on my local groups saying the same thing. horrible 'so-called left wing' men.

She's brilliant, so calm, so precise.

We've just started reading the first Harry Potter with our 8-year-old daughter. JKR is also very good at making a story fun for children.

She is just the classiest of acts isn't she? She makes the rest of them just look like the pathetic little saddos that they are.

You can do it doctor.

Just start following people

I think twitter has a tutorial online

I can do it so can you 💪💪💪

The ickabog is a great story

So prophetic

Can’t belive she wrote 20 years ago

I just love that she is now showing that she is not going to back down. That TRAs can hurl the most vile abuse at her, that the people whose careers she made can stand against her, that celebrities/journalists/MPs can call her a transphobe or a bigot or whatever they think will work to shut her up... And she is not going to back down.

This is a loud and clear message - she is standing up for women and there ain't nothing they can do about it!

Stephen King has retweeted her - another uncancellable author.

Exactly that @Highperbolay. And the stronger she gets, the more the impotent anger grows. I swear one of them will spontaneously combust soon.

I want “so-called leftists” on a teeshirt.

@ahumanfemale

She's brilliant.

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

There was more eye rolling when that person was asked to point out exactly what was transphobic and did the usual dodging - can't say it all in 280 characters (well, do it across two or more tweets then), not wasting their time and this was a cracker: it would be like asking a Holocaust survivor to read extracts of Mein Kampf

I can literally imagine Owen Jones reading her tweets with that furrowed brow face he makes, completely baffled as to why she hasn't yet asked for forgiveness and promised to 'do better' and is actually continuing to stand up for women, and puzzling over how he is going to condemn her totally measured point of view without making himself look like a complete bellend.

Its a headscratcher Owen isn't it!

the editor of the tribune is still backing the mp 'against the hate'

'To both groups, female trauma is white noise, an irrelevance or else exaggerated or invented'

So perfect

The DMs take

So so pleased to hear Stephen King retweeted her.

JKR - if you’re reading this.

I just want to thank you dragging me out of a pit of despair. Yesterday all my family tried to cheer me up but I was just so depressed and down about it all (16 years old son and a daughter just short of her 13th birthday) I’ve veered between anger, incredulity, disappointment and exhaustion. I despair at the people who just don’t seem to be reading or listening to your words properly. I was genuinely worried for you since we last heard from you. Wondering about how it must feel to know that you have put your head above the parapet exposing yourself to all kinds of accusations and falsehoods. The total distortion of your thoughts, ideas, experiences.

I was hoping you were safely behind a Sheltering Charm of all our good wishes, impervious to the howling onslaught of the circling Dementors. It was so GOOD to read your words on Twitter today. Just sorry that you’ve had to come out once again to defend yourself against such clueless misogyny.

‘Thanks‘ seems such a feeble word sometimes

She's just marvellous. Everything is so measured and thoughtful.
She may also have inspired me to do some feminist reading... I've not read much for years (after a high maintenance boyfriend who didn't like me reading as it meant less attention for him and so I got out of the habit). Is Dworkin a bit much for beginners?

I feel very proud to be one of the 3000.

It’ll be interesting to see what Keir Starmer does. He must realise what a powerful (and rich!) backer J.K. Rowling could be. She wasn’t a fan of Corbyn so has been unenthusiastic of the Labour Party for the last few years. But it is her obvious political home.

But that would take guts. And I’m not sure Starmer is a Gryffindor!

I thought it was an absolutely fantastic response and once again a sharp reminder of my own fear of openly agreeing with her as I nearly liked her tweet from my own very identifiable Twitter account and fearful of the repercussions.

Sadly I have had to hide behind my husband who has an anonymous account and can like without fear of real life reprisals.

What kind of sad world do we now exist in.

J K Rowling just liked my tweet. I am so excited. This is ridiculous I'm 57 ..

I’ve seen the replies she gets. It’s absolutely sickening. I’ve had to leave Twitter because I don’t have the stomach for the blatant woman hating.
