JK Rowling has sadly opened her mouth again

[DayAndAge]

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.

Well, her recent tweets have totally dropped all pretence of "it's just about reasonable concerns, honest", haven't they?

Everyone remembers when Willoughby misgendered JKR last year. How horrified everyone was. The trans community was first to condemn it ... weren't they?

How is that misgendering JKR?

Surely Katie is aware this is India's standard MO?

Yes but even KM thinks IW has gone too far these last few months. Shows how bad it's got when your own have to call you out. Maaaate

I think they are starting to panic a little. That’s often what happens when males get worried and defensive, they get more and more aggressive. It’s showing.

Along with tweeting about kidnapping women, using misogynistic slurs, coming up with cruel ways to deter migrants, expressing disdain for black women and being a twat to butch lesbians who don't conform to regressive gender stereotypes, IW is fine with misgendering (and wishing dead) other transwomen for having opinions IW doesn't like...

Funny that, isn’t it?

IW misgendering other TW is fine and dandy, but anyone misgendering IW is a horrible transphobe 🙄

Panic?.About what?
Yes, it is showing.
As in it's showing that it's not just about "reasonable concerns" at all.
The tweets on Twitter today against her (India, that is) that I've seen where prominent names quote tweet each other to say "man!" smacks of nothing but a pile on and reminds me of Mean Girls especially when it emboldens everyone else to come out and pile on too.
It's honestly 🙄😢 and I'm not even trans.

Debbie does refer to herself as a man though.
So how is it misgendering her if others say she is a man and say he instead of she?
Also interesting you only seem to take umbrage with misgendering if it's with someone who's trans with the same views as you?

@NoMoreFalafelsForYou

Which recent tweet wasn't a reasonable concern? Was it about about women's sports or single sex rape counselling or male rapists in women's prisons or a male violent crime being recorded as women's crime.?
Help me out here and reply with the tweet that wasn't a reasonable concern. You are great at slandering JKR but not so great with backing it up with any evidence at all.

Was it about about women's sports or single sex rape counselling or male rapists in women's prisons or a male violent crime being recorded as women's crime.?
No.
Are you on Twitter?

No.

IW is awful, but what/ever. Scarcely relevant dim misogynists are 10 a penny on the twitters

No, why do you think that?

Have you read her latest tweets, are you on Twitter?

Answering a question with a question I know is crap but it's pretty relevant to the discussion

Yes and yes.

Ok, fair enough then let's agree to disagree.

Ok though I'm not sure what we're agreeing to disagree on, as you didn't explain why you think her recent tweets are unreasonable?

Also interesting you only seem to take umbrage with misgendering if it's with someone who's trans with the same views as you?

I'm not a fan of DH, and not taking umbrage, not at the 'misgendering' anyway. The wishing Hayton dead is vile, though.

Just pointing out that Willoughby is a hypocrite because Willoughby happily misgenders other transwomen, and also butch lesbians for not dressing the way Willoughby thinks women should.

Thought it was pretty obvious - I'll spell it out though if you need it doing.
You've read her latest tweets, you're on Twitter, and you still think it's about reasonable concerns /don't have a problem with /whatever..
Ok.
Fair enough.
As I said let's leave it there then as we clearly have different views, if you honestly have seen her latest tweets it just comes across as bullying an individual now and encouraging a pile on

@yourhairiswinterfire
*The wishing Hayton dead is vile, though"
I'll agree with you there, that's never Ok

Just pointing out that Willoughby is a hypocrite because Willoughby happily misgenders other transwomen
Even one that calls themselves a man?

No wonder the stupid metro took the post down. They have history for such stupid things. Why on earth call it "sadly". JKR is such an incredibly intelligent woman, when has she ever said anything recently that wasn't true, lost any legal battle. Anyone who takes her on is an idiot.

DH has tweeted about being 'misgendered' by IW so 🤷‍♀️

The lesbians IW compares to 'blokes' and closeted transmen because they have short hair and don't prance around in dresses and high heels don't call themselves men.
