The awful trend on Twitter

Hi, I don't post often, but I've seen the awful twitter trend today in regard to J K Rowling, I just feel so scared and defeated about women's rights, why are more people not up in arms and defending us? I also fear for her and women's safety, as some of these TRA's seem really unhinged.

@AnotherLass

One person's account on Twitter. Nick Cohen has said the same thing in an article in the Spectator. The entire thing was a lie.

"I just read the book. There is no transvestite murderer. There's a sentence in which one near-victim in the 1970s couldn't give a good description her attacker as he wore a woman's wig and coat. That's it. No mention of transgender throughout the book."

Is that it? Lol Grin

Nice to see Robbie Coltrane supporting JK. Maybe i need to finalise my divorce from Newt and marry Hagrid. Wink

I like a big hairy man, but that might be taking it too far!

Cross-dressing is one of the most common paraphilias among convicted sexual predators.

"Accused Claremont serial killer Bradley Robert Edwards had a fetish for women's underwear dating back to when he was 13 years old."

"A cross dressing army veteran tried to rape an elderly cancer patient after delivering medication to her."

"A 16 year-old schoolgirl was assaulted by a man dressed in women’s clothes as she walked to a school bus stop."

"A taxi driver faces a prison term after he was convicted of raping a drunken woman in the back of his car. Qasim Anwar, 30, carried out the attack dressed in make-up, a wig, women's clothing and high heels."

"Waite had a fetish for cross-dressing and the woman had helped him dress in women's clothing at least twice before the rape."

"A man wearing a black bikini, purple skirt and high heels allegedly indecently assaulted a teenage boy on a Sydney train, police say."

"Robert Clothier, 37, who also goes by the name Lady James, turned up for a liaison with ‘Mark’ and his eight and 11-year-olds, but it was a police sting."

Schmidt murdered five women and a three month old baby.

The nickname the "Pink Giant" came from both the killer's size and alleged penchant for pink lingerie.

Between 1968 and 1969, Brudos brutally killed 4 women. Brudos would dress up in high heels and masturbate after committing a murder.

"The Silence of the Lambs" killer Buffalo Bill was based on Brudos.

Williams would take photos of himself modelling the stolen underwear, and meticulously file and store the garments. After a few years, he graduated to sexual assault and eventually murder.

Kibbe was arrested as a teenager for petty theft and prowling after he was observed stealing women’s bathing suits and stockings. The book claims Kibbe enjoyed tying himself up with women’s underwear, and cutting up the garments."

"A man, who has convictions for dressing up as an old lady to touch women, is back behind bars.

Paul Reed, who has a criminal record for sex offences, had been banned from using his disguise to prey on unsuspecting women."

"Mason also told police had "gone up on the roof dressed as Brianna, what the defendant described as 'my other way of living'."

"Thomas Lee Benson, 39, dressed as a woman to enter the women's locker room at North Clackamas Aquatic Park. Benson was convicted of sexually abusing children and has a history of dressing as a woman."

I think that's enough of that topic for me tonight...jeez...Shock

Amazon have had to suspend reviews on the book after a pile on of negative reviews and the guardian in their usual cuntish way have said that no one should judge a book on a single review but she’s a horrible transphobe so its her own fault really

Well I've just gone on to Amazon and managed to submit a review.

Got the same message as usual saying it may take some to time verify my review against my purchase (usually less than 24hours) but no notice that reviews were suspended.

Bloody hell!

Good for Rose though - she's usually very measured.

I've archived that Guardian article, should anyone wish to read it without giving them clicks.

That’s good DeRigeur, I was going by what the guardian said (mad I know!)

@Kit19

And my review is now live - somewhat outing posting that here given only 7 reviews as I type but I'm far from the only "Emma" in the U.K. and frankly I'm starting to be beyond giving any fucks Grin...and proving the Guardian is posting bollocks is worth it....
SerenityNowwwww · 15/09/2020 22:03

I’m shocked - we’ll not really - unsurprised by the nonsense spouted in the media over the new book that they most likely haven’t read (the Standard and CNN for two) the latter quoting mermaids and P Lees on the subject. Talk about one-sided propaganda.

Seriously?

That’s honestly it?

Really?

For fucks sake...what a bunch of brainless fuckwits

RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 15/09/2020 22:07

Utter utter bastards

Yes Angry

Having binge read it on my Kindle I can confirm that's the extent of it....

DeRigueurMortis · 15/09/2020 22:11

Thank you Red Smile

CaraDuneRedux · 15/09/2020 22:11

Just ordered it from my local bookshop - looking forward to collecting it.

And thanks for the link to Nick Cohen, AnotherLass - good to hear a sane version of events.

RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 15/09/2020 22:17

What the actual fuck is wrong with people

Seriously

Im honestly gobsmacked...virtually speechless

RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 15/09/2020 22:23

JUST A HEADS UP

JKR WRITES A BOOK ABOUT FARTING AND IM BUYING A COPY

SHE WRITES ANYTHING AND THE WALLET IS COMING OUT

DeRigueurMortis · 15/09/2020 22:25

@Redshoeblueshoe

Excellent review there DeRigueur Wine
I did think about referring to the trans debacle and debunking it, but overall felt that it was actually demeaning to the book and JKR to even reference it.

Right I'd better log off and show my DH some acknowledgment he exists between having had hours binge reading Strike 5 and posting on here Grin.

RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 15/09/2020 22:25
