Gaun yersel' JKR!

Another post from our favourite feminist

She’s not giving up is she. ❤️

@MargaritaPie

"Well we’re not allowed to say ‘man’ when they identify as a woman, are we"

Is it really too much for JK Rowling and others to use the term transwomen? Even if she has differing views, just out of respect and to be polite?

What a disingenuous comment. If she had used the nonsense term 'transwoman' in her tweet, you'd have been all over it crying 'Transphobia!!!!! CANCEL THE WITCH!!! BURN HER!!! BURN HER!!!!"

I absolutely love this woman.

Is there anyone else of her status speaking out like she is?

Last time I checked, "transwoman" was incredibly offensive. The correct term is trans woman. (And if you claim you can't hear the difference, then you're being deliberately hateful.)

Why should she be either?

@GrumpyPanda

Shouldn't that be "bepenised"? Sounds like a passive participle otherwise, and I'm not quite sure what the corresponding verb is

I thought this same thing. 🙂

“The sex/gender identification of individuals who come into contact with the police will be based on how they present or how they self-declare, which is consistent with the values of the organisation. Police Scotland requires no evidence or certification as proof of biological sex or gender identity other than a person’s self-declaration, unless it is pertinent to any investigation with which they are linked.”

I can't get my head around this.... Surely the very definition of rape (being penetrated without consent by a penis) means biological sex is pretty fucking pertinent.... It's such nonsense. Mind numbing, be kind, misogynistic bullshit.

Nope Ireland, male with penis sexually assaulted a child. Gets a GRC.

By law the only male body parts which remain legaly male are those involved in sexual crimes, but the crime is recorded as CSA by a female.

That looks so odd when typed out.

It’s lovely seeing how much positivity her post has generated.
I mean I am sure there will be some misogynist abuse buried amongst the supportive replies but far more people agree with her.

Double post 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love the economy and directness of JKR’s tweets. The TRA pile ons, death threats and rape threats have backfired spectacularly. I’m not seeing much screeching under her tweet on this occasion. Have they regrouped elsewhere under a hashtag?

A rapist doesn't deserve respect.

Anyone have a link to her tweet?
I'm not on twitter but can access as a viewer

Just go to her profile it's the 2 tweet.

Google JK_rowling and Twitter and her Twitter profile pops up

Have they just all used their terfblocker lists so they don’t see anything they don’t like maybe…?

Did you not check your facts?

This is that tweet in full

War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
The Penised Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman.

Yes, it is too much for me to defer to rapists "to be polite".

Rape is hardly respectful or polite, is it?

Shouldn't that be "bepenised"?
I don't think so. We say winged and two-legged, not bewinged etc.
And bepenised could be understood to follow the pattern of beheaded, changing the meaning rather drastically.

Perhaps defending rapists is a step too far them? (Or apparently not for a poster on this thread)

But isn't this sort of thing 'inclusive'?

looks like the gloves are off. I am very happy to read the comments supporting her.

So true.

Look forward to Owen’s comeback on this one….

War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
The Penised Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman.

LOL of course the joke is that in each line two things that are the complete antithesis - even antonym - of each other are pretending to be the same.

If you were to put in, as @MargaritaPie
suggests: The Transwoman Who Raped You Is A Woman, the satire is even more pointed.

In fact methinks JKR actually is hoping that we’ read it that way - as a riff on TWAW - but can’t actually write that. (Because Twitter guidelines.)

All makes me think Margarita must be a double agent for the GC side, because otherwise I’m embarrassed for them to be so unwittingly dim 🤣

@lucascriesalot

Often not as easy with autism sadly

Can I ask what you mean here?

(I am autistic btw)
