"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."

Seeing all those #TransPeopleAreRealPeople stories, especially those from the young people makes me a bit sad. In many ways I hope majority are just youngsters still finding themselves without any medical intervention. And those who have started medication, I hope it's not something that they'll regret later.

That yahoo article is a pleasant surprise.

JKR is brilliant. She’d be excellent company for a few beers down the pub.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 06/07/2020 18:40

One of the joys to come out of this has been discovering the fact that most of those on Team Rowling seem to be people who I'd want to go for a pint with.

God yes. Would love to have a few pints with her.

JKRisagryff · 06/07/2020 18:50

Haha that tweet is so spot on! Grin

@TheProdigalKittensReturn

That thread is a perfect into, really. Comment from concerned woman, avatar is a photo of kids playing in black and white, tweet is calm and sensible and concerned with the wellbeing of children. Response is "Be quiet transphobe" (no punctuation) from someone with a furry avatar of what appears to be the head of a donkey, or possible a horse with very odd ears?

That's as stark a "who are you more inclined to trust?" contrast as you could hope for.

The one directly after it is a dalek.

Apt.

After JKRs initial essay, a woke bro on Twitter proceeded to create “The List” of Celebs who had liked/agreed with her. I commented that The people on “The List” sounded like they’d make a cracking dinner party guest list!
JKRisagryff · 06/07/2020 19:30

Do you have a link cavemum would love to see this list of heretics!

PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg · 06/07/2020 20:07

Someone suggested JKR could release them as a 'disappointing pop up book' Grin

I'm loving her work. She's making it look so effortless, with every measured, clever, funny tweet. & yet it's so damn brave of her to put herself out there like this.

She has absolutely no need to expose herself like this - she doesn't need a penny of anyone else's money & I'm sure the abuse isn't fun for her. It can only be a principled stand. & the howling narc rage just shows, every time, how right she is.

She's exactly the sort of woman I want my dds to see & aspire to be. Does her research, speaks thoughtfully but without fear, & refuses to be told to STFU.

CaveMum · 06/07/2020 20:14

Here you go JKRisagryff, though since the time of writing Jonathan Ross has backtracked.

Oops, helps if I attach the picture 😂

JKR is brilliant Flowers

Timetospare · 06/07/2020 20:39

I’d love to think she’s lurking here.
If you are Joanne, thank you, for everything. For the joy you have brought my now adult children, for putting safeguarding at the centre of what you do, for being brave, and stunning, and beautiful.

littlbrowndog · 06/07/2020 20:51

Yeah so funny marking dick pics out of ten on all the dick pics she has been sent 😂😂😂😂😂💪💪💪💪

Says she might do a coffee table book of them

Then follow up book big bollocks 💪💪🤣😂

She is the bees knees that woman

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 06/07/2020 21:01

I would love that dinner party. Better without Jonathan Ross too. He'd be too busy trying to be the centre of attention.

Coffeeandbeans · 06/07/2020 21:06

I’ve made a donation to her charity and I’m currently watching Strike on TV which is the televised version of 3 of her books written under a pseudonym,

littlbrowndog · 06/07/2020 21:08

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

Wow, to both of those.
SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 06/07/2020 21:10

Ooh littlbrowndog you've been liked by JK, you're on the mega bitch list now.

(Did you swoon? I would so swoon!)

Kantastic · 06/07/2020 21:15

Are the Daily Mail going to write about this? Do they write about penis jokes? It would be great clickbait for them.

Hats off to JKR, I didn't know how she could draw attention to the predatory creep contingent without massive backlash but she has done so in the most hilarious way. I'm in awe.

Siablue · 06/07/2020 21:18

I think the predatory creep contingent did an excellent job of drawing attention to themselves.
