Well he's truly a TRA hero now. Fits right in.

You're gonna have to do better than that.

Yep.

Man calling woman a cunt - move along nothing to see here (I'm sure some apologist will be along shortly to explain how she made him do it, she made him angry you see...)

Woman deigns to be less than perfect and (possibly) makes a mistake - well, that's just not on. Women complaining about their own shitty treatment need to be scrupulously polite at all times.

Twas ever thus.

RoyalCorgi · 08/03/2024 09:08

I heard "him" rather than "them" (or "'em") but it doesn't matter that much anyway. Why was he calling Willoughby "them" rather than "her"?

Either way, once again, he has shown his true colours. I absolutely love it when JKR makes fun of pompous people - it's the one thing they absolutely cannot stand and it drives them into narcissistic rage. They are so stupid that they don't realise that their narcissistic rage proves the very point JKR was making.

WallaceinAnderland · 08/03/2024 09:08

He didn't say 'you're a cunt'

He said 'you're kind'

Probably

Absolutely I identify @Emotionalsupportviper - my belief system allows me to identify as whatever I please!

Next stop - Jamaican sprint team.

Hurrah!

I shall be at the finishing line, cheering you to an echo and waving millions of flags (am identifying as a millipede for the day just so I can do that).

Robertson has retracted his name calling and apologised unreservedly to JKR.

Funnily enough, doubling down on calling India ‘they’ and not ‘her’.

He or them are still not she.

Nevertheless, here is Caolan saying really quite awful things:

https://twitter.com/bosdovja92/status/1765751954058170574

Interesting where he says :

"You have these protected groups that can get away with what they want and it literally harms your society"

. . .

Edited to add that I suggest people listen, if they haven't already, to find out which group he regards as so harmful to society.

ArabellaScott · 08/03/2024 09:21

Ew. What a gross, horrible homophobe, on top of the misogyny. He can fuck off and begone.

Madcats · 08/03/2024 09:25

Ooops. Do with think that Byline Times's HR/Legal dept had a word this morning?

What a week it's been on X

Sorry if this has already been posted, no time to catch up on thread:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/jk-rowling-india-willoughby-misgender-b2508819.html

From the article:

"Northumbria Police has been approached for comment.*

If I were "Northumbria Police" I would be sitting with my head in my hands saying "FFS! Not again!"

Whilst I don't have any faith in what appears to be modern policing policy, I am pretty sure that a lot of Real Life Coppers On The Ground are as sick and tired of this ridiculous carry on as the rest of us are. They are just hamstrung by officialdom.

Chersfrozenface · 08/03/2024 09:26

Says "they" in the tweet when referring to IW, I note.

Pretty sure that's not among IW's demanded pronouns.

Do better.

India Willoughby is no match for JKR.

I foresee a legal asskicking in the near future.

I’d be very careful with Nazi comparisons if I were India. Crossdressing is included under the Stonewall Trans Umbrella.

https://nationalpost.com/news/cross-dressing-nazis-a-german-artist-found-so-many-photos-of-them-he-published-a-book-about-it

The book review headline: Cross-dressing Nazis: A German artist found so many photos of them he published a book. ironically, all these cross-dressing soldiers were fighting for a regime that sent actual transvestites to concentration camps

I really like the thought of this, though:

There’s also Weiberfastnacht, a subversive German festival practice dating back to the Middle Ages in which women are handed control of the community and are free to roam the streets cutting off men’s ties.

Delightfully symbolic! 😂

Women take charge — and cut ties — as Germany's carnival season enters its final week

Weiberfastnacht is a day when the women are in charge and can cut off men’s ties without fear of retribution. Despite this, men were also out in abundance, albeit without neckwear.

No subtitles on the version I saw. Plenty of GC people on twitter saying it's them. But never mind.

Oh well - "recollections may vary" as the saying goes.

I think most of the police force do a brilliant job. They’re amazing. Like all key workers. Obv some are bad, and hopefully now the police are on to it.

I’ve got good friends in that police force. They’re so fed up with this shit. When a woman calls a man a man, then the man complains, they really don’t give af. They’ve got real life to deal with 24hrs a day.

It’s done Willoughby no favours, in fact the opposite. A result for people who don’t want dicks in female spaces everywhere.

I've been away since Monday so just catching up with it all. Wow. As others have said, just when I think I can't admire JKR more, she steps up again. If it wasn't so stalkerish, I'd stand outside her house and clap!

SinnerBoy · 08/03/2024 09:37

Why did Willoughby contact Northumbria, if JKR lives in Scotland?

puffyisgood · 08/03/2024 09:39

I'm not unconditionally enamoured with JKR's part in this spat, thought she had several opportunities to be the bigger man, so to speak, but this young fool properly dragged this into the sewer, and quite possibly his career with it. Incredibly disappointing and surely harmful to the TRA cause.

SabrinaThwaite · 08/03/2024 09:41

Is Newcastle still the UK’s own Windy City?

I can well believe it. They have better things to do, more egregious crimes to deal with - people have really been subjected to "literal violence" - but it seems that this trans shite gets priority every time.

I'll bet that to gives the a-holes on the force (because as you say, there are good and bad everywhere) a sense of power and an opportunity to throw their weight around that the others get thoroughly sick of.

I do think that most of our police are a good bunch - they are let down by politics and the really bad apples who hit the headlines. When they do a job and do it well there is no good, praiseful, publicity. When they make an error, the public is down on them like a ton of bricks. They're between the Devil and the deep blue sea a lot of the time.

HootyMcBooby · 08/03/2024 09:44

So men can call women cunts with abandon, but here at MNHQ, we have to use their preferred pronouns to "avoid causing harm" or "intentionally causing distress".

Fuck off.
