@Siablue

I have just sent Kier Starmer a howler! I have turned into the sort of person who sends strongly worded letters. 🤣
That's me. Complaints to Labour Party, BBC, Booker, ranting about Allisons funding page, and that's since yesterday lunchtime!

I was reading the thread of nine and I got to the Dworkin quote I first punched the air and shouted

"ROWLING QUOTED DWORKIN"

and no one at home knew what I was talking about.

Oh my days - just the best thing ever.

FloralBunting · 28/06/2020 22:38

Tom Watson tweeted support. Momentum (pardon the reference) is building, wims. This feels big.

Doyoumind · 28/06/2020 22:39

The pure narcissism of the TRA responses on twitter is amazing. JKR came out to defend herself after a vile article was written about her by an MP and they have somehow turned it into her coming to twitter just to harm and abuse them. I see it every day but I'm still gobsmacked. Thank God she is such a strong and principled woman who has risen beyond their grasp.

AbsintheFriends · 28/06/2020 22:40

Tom Watson has also tweeted in support of JKR...

Sorry floral - cross post!

@Packingsoapandwater

By these actions, JK is rising beyond being a author, admittedly of best selling books; she is now a voice that speaks truth to power.

There are very few people who ever do this in their lives. There are very few people who have both the guts and such an unshakeable sense of justice.

I no longer simply admire JK Rowling; I am now in awe.

She is incredible, a role model of the likes that I never thought I would see in my lifetime.

Yes, this.
Highperbolay · 28/06/2020 22:46

Hang on, is that Tom Watson as in Labour Tom Watson? He looks totally different!

Yeah, he lost a whole bunch weight a few years ago.
FloralBunting · 28/06/2020 22:52

And some of the negative comments are goading him about the weight thing. Which is weird. But also, they're all very disappointed in him. No cock swallowing suggestions as yet. I'm sure they'll happen. Any minute now...

So Stephen King has now decided TWAW Hmm

Violetparis · 28/06/2020 22:54

Keir Starmer is on GMB tomorrow, I'm sure Piers Morgan will bring up the issue.

Siablue · 28/06/2020 22:55

No one has an argument. It is all you are harming trans people. They are not engaging with what she said. I honestly think they can’t.

Sorry, can you elaborate? Cheers
twoHopes · 28/06/2020 22:56

I know this is off topic but in case you haven't seen it - the TRAs are coming for Eddie Redmayne now for playing a trans character in the Danish Girl.

I hope JKR had a good laugh about that today. Cheers JK you bloody brilliant woman Wine

I just looked on Twitter and couldn’t see that. What’s he said?
Binglebong · 28/06/2020 22:57

What's interesting about the DM article (loved the full showing of her tweets) was not just the comments but what has been up and down voted. Far more people will click without saying anything.

It's the second comment down on his newest tweet.

It won't be enough for that lot though.

Pmsl 🤣

I used to read a lot of his books when I was a teenager and he couldn’t end a book well to save his life. So it doesn’t surprise me he’s changed the ending once again to something fucking ridiculous 🙄

Binglebong · 28/06/2020 23:18

Bugger.

However I fully accept he is entitle to his view and should not be made to eat lady dick or be raped for it.

He's wrong mind.

@Skaffen

Beards. Why is it always guys with beards? At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but the Twitter threads are wall to wall with beards. Scary.
Here's a handy guide to common or garden beardbros...
