Thank fuck…

’“And I love her,” Blume immediately interjects. “I am behind her 100 per cent as I watch from afar.” Blume is referring to the abuse Rowling has received for speaking up in defence of women’s sex-based rights, and given that Blume has faced repeated attacks since the 1980s, for her books’ descriptions of adolescent sexuality and puberty, she knows what it’s like to be pilloried as an author.’

Judy Blume: ‘I’m behind JK Rowling 100 per cent’

You can try to explain Judy Blume in numbers: her books for children have sold 90 million copies worldwide, most famously Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.

Well done Judy! Fantastic news.

I posted this before I saw that she had retreated somewhat from her position. Disappointing.

The point I'm making is that saying you support the LGBT+ community now means that you actually support Gender Ideology as we all know it's all about the T. Many LGB have distanced themselves from the T because they do not agree with the ideology.

It's very telling that Blume said she supported the LGBT+ community, as opposed to saying she supported the trans community. It's that forced teaming again. Supporting LGB is one thing, supporting the crazed demands of the T is quite another. Much of the time LGB and T are in conflict, with the T advocates repeatedly sneering at the "genital preferences" of lesbian and gay people.

Exactly RoyalCorgi.
Which is why I believe she's been pressured.
But if she hasn't, then she supports all the things I mentioned below. As does everyone else going along with this ideology including posters like CremeEggQueen.

Depressing that she felt the need to make that statement. Her liberal and tolerant views speak for themselves no need to clarify unless she felt the need to distance herself. And how can it be out of context!? Who got to Judy????

Hopefully she'll do some investigating and peak properly. After all, most people do!

I expect she has been contacted by someone from her publishing company. Possibly an intern.
