'Rowling posted a picture of Joanna Cherry, the SNP MP, writing: “What a woman who owns a dictionary and a backbone looks like.” Cherry opposed reforms of the Gender Recognition Act in Scotland which will allow transgender people to obtain a gender recognition certificate through a declaration'

Loving that she shows how she has zero fucks to give where transactivists are concerned.

Go Jo!

Thanks for share

Her comments came after Anneliese Dodds, the shadow minister for women and equalities, struggled to spell out what the definition of a woman was when asked on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. She said: “Well, I have to say that there are different definitions legally around what a woman actually is. I mean obviously, that’s when you’ve got the biological definition, legal definition, all kinds of things.”

Asked what Labour’s definition was, Dodds replied: “I think it does depend what the context is surely. You know, there are people who have decided that they have to make that transition . . . because they live as a woman they want to be defined as a woman.”

I'd be crying with laughter if it weren't so genuinely upsetting....

The Indy take on this same thing - ‘SCREAM!!! Awful non-male person advocates mass murder of most put upon group in the history of the world!’.

I still want an answer to the question 'what does living as a woman actually mean?' How do you do it?
Thank goodness for JK , a formidable and eloquent woman.

Aw they didn't quote the "This morning you told the British public you literally can't define what a woman is. What's the plan, lift up random objects until you find one that rattles?" tweet which really points out how ridiculous the interview was.

Awesome. JKR is herself the epitome of a woman with a dictionary and a backbone, and she knows how to use them.
