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.

JKR has completely taken the gloves off now.

From today’s Twitter/X, I think JKR has finally had enough of males demanding that everyone deny reality and call them female.

It’s quite something to behold.

She’s letting rip, I agree she’s had enough…

FrancescaContini · 04/03/2024 18:54

Thank you for posting the screenshots, @SabrinaThwaite I wish JKR was PM / president of the entire world (dreaming…)

“Socialist Stanley” with his colourful flag: surely a parody account?!

Who is that in the picture? Is it someone famous?

WallaceinAnderland · 04/03/2024 18:57

It's quite glorious watching all this unfold right now. JKR and IW both trending.

India Willoughby.

India Willoughby.

Thanks. Thought it might be, wasn't sure. Didn't want to make a fool of myself with a wrong guess! 🙂

Well, he’d like to be.

JKR’s reply:

Oh that is joyous! JKR really truly has run out of fucks to give hasn't she!

No wonder someone is a bit tetchy today.

Brava Joanna Cherry!

Interested to see Zak of the Green Party tweet 'solidarity' with India.

'India said: 'Thank God for Nigel Farage! I’ll say it. The fact the French are escorting them over is awful. We’ve got Brexit and we’re leaving the EU.
'We should take control. I think it’s £100million we’ve spent on this problem. I’d go down the Trump route.
...
'Why not have a nice spikey barbed wire fence somewhere on the channel?''

Yes, it's interesting, isn't it. Anybody expressing gender critical views is immediately a pariah, no matter what other views they have, but IW can say anything and it's ignored because of IW's gender identity. There are innumerable examples being shared on X at the moment, screenshots of homophobic and racist remarks. The screenshot above of IW taking exception to JKR's remarks is right below the screenshot of IW's tweet about wanting to kidnap her! What would it take for the scales to fall from the eyes of IW's supporters?

motheronthedancefloor · 04/03/2024 19:26

I'd love to know if JKR is a MNetter and posts on here. Doubt she'd ever tell us but I suspect she does. A teeny confirmation in her tweets would be fab.

Well, if she is she can bloody well take her turn on the camp chair with the flask and biscuits.

She blew us a kiss once on Twitter (when it was Twitter)...

Just an example of one of the many, many tweets spewing anger and abuse at women

I imagine someone somewhere has a folder of every vindictive, misogynist tweet that India has ever made. It'll be quite a large folder. A recurring theme is how ugly women are who disagree with India. Another is the suggestion that all feminists are older than India (we're not) and imminently perishing.

WallaceinAnderland · 04/03/2024 19:42

Yes, the tweets are absolutely vile and I am sure receipts are being kept. Even high profile TRAs have asked IW to stop going after women's looks, age and ethnicity. I think it got so bad because IW really wanted to provoke. Well look how that worked out.

Froodwithatowel · 04/03/2024 19:46

I'd love to know IW's excuse for the not butch lesbians who believe homosexuality doesn't involve men regardless of how they identify and do not plan to validate them with their bodies. So homophobia about 'butch' women isn't something that will work. And are not 'old' enough to reach for comforting slurs and prejudice about age either.

Some women just say no, love. Deal with it.

My God, that's so incredibly offensive. Racist, misogynistic, homophobic and repressive. Utterly hateful and plain fucking dim-witted to boot. How does this person have any support?
