"When you lie about what I believe about mental health medication and when you misrepresent the views of a trans woman for whom I feel nothing but admiration and solidarity, you cross a line."

Oh my God. This woman is bloody fuming.

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 07/07/2020 17:32

Legen-fuckin-dary.

Highperbolay · 07/07/2020 17:34

She is so all in! ❤️

She has seen it, experienced it, lived it. The misogyny, the gaslighting, the twisting, the abuse. And she's not fucking having it.

Every tweet I love her a bit more.

It feels like the support for her is swelling as well if the replies are anything to go by.

risefromyourgrave · 07/07/2020 17:34

Oh she is really amazing.

EdgeOfACoin · 07/07/2020 17:41

She reads Mumsnet. I'm convinced.

Shepherdspyreads · 07/07/2020 17:44

She's bloody brilliant 😍

lady69 · 07/07/2020 17:44

She is filling me with hope. Thank you Jo Rowling!

JemimaShore · 07/07/2020 17:46

OMG she is incredible!

It’s never too early.

She's bloody wonderful Grin

@littlbrowndog

Jk Rowling liked my tweet, and I've just had my first death threat. I feel like I've joined the big leagues.

From twitter

Almost makes me want to sign up to Twitter. Envy Yes, it is envy.

But preserving mh, so nope. Grin

Perhaps if I could just touch your garment, Littl?

JellyFishSquish · 07/07/2020 18:17

Oh, reading further I see I got that wrong. But still. You had an embarrassing moment with her and her dog. Even better.

Lebranic · 07/07/2020 18:25

So strange, I liked all of her tweets yesterday, then today I had to like them all again as the like hadn't registered...

NeurotrashWarrior · 07/07/2020 18:28

Oooh she's turning the knife and cranking up the pressure, pouring daylight on everything! ❤️JK!

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 07/07/2020 18:29

Lebranic, twitter takes them off. Ditto retweets. Keep checking back and reliking & retweeting. They will keep being disappeared, so you'll have to do it repeatedly.

BewaretheIckabog · 07/07/2020 18:29

I’m still trying to work out what rights trans people don’t have in the UK.

Bloody love JK. It must be disappointing for her that she got kids reading and these same kids either can’t be arsed to read what she is writing now or lack the comprehension skills to understand it.

Tanith · 07/07/2020 18:31

Speaking of Aiden Cornerford, did he get any backlash for his transphobic song?

Even less fuss than they made over Damian Barr's transphobic tweets.

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 07/07/2020 18:34

Ah, well, it's only transphobic if women do it. Obviously.

CaveMum · 07/07/2020 18:36

She is utterly awesome. @MNHQ might I suggest a web chat with the great lady herself? One that is only open to MNers who have been registered for at least 28 days prior to the announcement should filter out the dodgy element.

KettlePolly · 07/07/2020 18:37

Thank you JK. I do not know how someone stating their opinion respectfully and compassionately can result in this absolute onslaught of vitriol, hysteria, lazy inability to read what was said and subsequent misinterpretation, and then let's be honest - pure hatred. It's simply not fair or reasonable.

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 07/07/2020 18:40

Just wow ❤️

ListeningQuietly · 07/07/2020 18:44

Dear JK
if you are lurking
look up Chimeras
as I think that is where a lot of the erroneous science of the TRAs lies

BewaretheIckabog · 07/07/2020 18:44

It’s mad. Also aware JK is talking about women but the level of Twitter.

JK is not allowed to talk about trans people because she’s not trans.

Gay men are allowed to talk about our rights because they are part of the LGBTQI+ community.
