JKR has no fucks left to give. Although she would express it much better

[bellinisurge]

I love "I don't give a fuck" version of JK Rowling. She's on Twitter just now (ish) obviously praising Allison Bailey and generally supporting Lesbian Visibility Week for actual lesbians.

She's such a tonic

MN won't let me post any images, so

1. Linda Riley did NOT 'create' Lesbian Visibility Week, which predated her 2020 involvement by some 30 years - it was in fact created in California in 1990 - exactly when and where that photo of Allison marching for lesbian rights was taken.

As documented in twitter thread

That's fab. I hope that she is enjoying the freedom of speaking her mind.

And it was said in 1994. And if that is ALL you have (ie. what has been posted on this thread already) for all her years in public life, what does that tell you? She has been a politician since the 70s!

Imagine that. I might be posting quotes from the letters I have received from MY libdem MP that deny that any woman is in danger in a UK prison from male prisoners being in their estate, and that they doubted very much that any males would be in a position to attack or rape a female patient in a UK hospital. Neither of those statements made by my MP remained true for even 6 months. And my MP fully supports the interpretation of the Equality Act that allowed those things to happen.

By the way, maybe you could post a study that disproves that a child should have knowledge of both their biological parents to have the best mental health outcome. And where ever possible, access to both their biological parents if they wish it.

Or are you forgetting that every single child on this planet has a biological mother and a biological father? And are you telling those children who find it difficult to not know who their biological parents are, even if they are the children of anonymous donors that their experience doesn't count?

I too, believe strenuously that every child deserves a mother and a father. Because even with the most love in the world, a child of any age will have questions relating to that parent that is not in their life. I don't believe that a child cannot have an amazing life with any adoptive parent/s of whatever configuration, if that child knows that they have the possibility to find their biological parent/s when they want to or need to. And I don't believe that a child should stay in contact with an abusive parent or however you might try to twist what I say to fulfil your intention of attempting to discredit Baroness Nicholson.

As I have said. If you have questions about what the Baroness meant, ask her. She is likely to answer you.

Ask her why she said that, and make sure you ask her if she thinks she would say the same thing now, nearly 30 years later.

Oh it’s us silly mummies with our leaky boobs being too addled by our baby brains to know what’s really going on and that silly JKR is just a bit dim and she should have stuck to writing lovely little stories for children.
If only someone could help us see the truth from outside our snuggly-wuggly little mummies corner of the internet and bring us to the right way of thinking. Praise be! Here comes Ides to show us the way!
I wish I was clever enough to work it all out for myself but you know they removed my brain when I had a baby and I just don’t know how to think anymore.

Back to the kitchen and the nursery wims- we’ve been misled in thinking we knew how to think for ourselves!

That's fab. I hope that she is enjoying the freedom of speaking her mind.

Stonewall has lost all credibility. I don't know anyone who thinks their thoughts matter. Just a laughing stock these days.

Should slap on some more lip-gloss and stick at what she knows best, I feel

Cripes, I haven't heard opinions like that since I accidentally left the TV on and it ran onto a Jim Davidson show, about thirty years ago.

Oh... FFS! MNHQ Stop putting up pages telling us that the site is down and not letting us refresh properly to check.

I will ask my numerous posts to be deleted.

Is that you, Jim?

Good grief so many posts, apologies. I will also ask MN to remove my duplicates!

God this site is up and down like a rabbit's arse this morning.

Well. What do you know! She brought an already well established concept to the UK and claimed ownership.

Gosh, how very shocked I am that Linda Riley would do such a thing.

Cripes hard to read today. Mumsnet.

Gosh, how very shocked I am that Linda Riley would do such a thing.

And I am sure it is out of the goodness of her heart that she would seek to establish a 'Lesbian Visibility Week' (utilising an established name, even if it was out of use by the time) in conjunction with her magazine. Nothing to profit from here... Nothing to see.

And it was a good business decision to tie the magazine with the new week. I am merely pointing out that any claim to have done it altruistically is mightily suspect.

So, if Lesbian Visibility Week was started by a lesbian who included all female same sex attracted people disgusted would not support it?

Ooooh get you!

My Gp said she will do 6 mo prescriptions when the supplies settle down
