JK Rowling has sadly opened her mouth again

How the metro can put out this tweet which effectively suggests a woman shouldn't be allowed to speak is beyond me. Shocked but not surprised. Comments are heartening though, as is the ratio.

Utter bollocks.

The TRA must be hyperventilating at the hundreds of millions JKR will continue to make from HP.

Very good, I'm sure FWR can make it watertight.

'I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God, apart from when I am ordered, against my wishes and beliefs and the evidence of my eyes and ears, to call this man a woman. As I have to lie about this one thing, I'm not really clear whether I also have to lie about anything else the accused wishes. If the accused identifies as innocent, should I also go along with this? It's really unclear. "

Any lawyers? It does seem some statement of words indicating you're lying at the court's request is needed, sadly.

Edited

Please let everyone start with this in the Supreme Court.

Yes. And as that article states, the ungrateful talentless actors that Were HP faces, will be replaced by others.

This is a nice article praising JKR. I'm blushing for her 😃

And he makes a fair point about the lack of honours for her. I doubt she cares much but considering some of people who do get gongs, it's a shocking omission.

'our era’s leading feminist icon'

Yep. Maybe we should all celebrate JK for IWD.

Seems like a plan! We could all dress as JKR for the day!

Wonder if JKR will insist on sex segregated changing rooms and loos when she exec produces the HP TV series. Hope so!

I know it's entirely beside the point but jeez, Radcliffe and Watson really must be the bloody worst actors of their generation. They are absolutely diabolical.

I'd need a stylist. Possibly two.

Bloody good article.

I'm going for the steampunk JKR rights hoarding dinosaur! Can I borrow your stylists when you are done with them!

Yes. Although ... they may be some time. It's going to be an uphill struggle.

IcakethereforeIam · 28/02/2024 22:58

Take a leaf out of the trans book, just identify as JKR gender and that's it.

Although I really want a dinosaur costume.

I might buy all the books again. Just so she can have more money. It'll all go to Lumos anyway, whichever route I send it.

Nod to Howls Moving Castle in the first one?

So grateful we have JK Rowling here

Long live our noble Queen.

Oh! I've never heard of that. I wonder if that's where the AI drew its inspiration from?

Howl's Moving Castle is based on the Usula Le Guin story which I highly recommend. The Ghibli animation is delightful and well worth watching, but is not completely faithful to the book (as is often the case with adaptations).

It's based on a book by Diana Wynn Jones.

Thanks for correcting that. I missed the time to edit before I realised my mistake.

Is there a head-desk emoji anywhere? I think I need it! 😂

Boiledbeetle · 02/03/2024 11:27

@RainWithSunnySpells it wouldn't do banging your head on the desk.
