What a joy it is to read such eloquence from JKR!

I keep doing that too. I own all her books - every single one - but I don't have them all on audiobook yet. Wanders off to spend money on JKR's works....

She is so wonderful. I'd need her way with words to be able to praise her highly enough.

The thing I appreciate the most is that she is standing up to protect children. Too many (Labour party politicians, I'm looking at you) are not.

Absolutely. She actually believes in safeguarding kids, including trans kids. Which is so bloody important, and so ignored by many TRAs.

What did the journalist say? It's deleted now

“Calling someone who is trans a male is not verifiable’ is one snippet of his stupidity. He’s also incorrect as there are many male identifying females ie trans who are male in their opinion.

Applaud the use of 99.9% a neat, sly reference to Keir Starmer's 99.9% of women don't have a penis.

Jokingnotjoking · 07/03/2024 22:29

She says it how it is. So happy the younger ones are properly turning now. People less cautious to like on Twitter etc. Follow her and be proud. In a few years the ‘cross dressers are women’ brigade will feel silly. Some I know are already backstepping.

What a patronising twat.

I think the journalist reply has been deleted

Terfosaurus · 07/03/2024 22:32

She's a true hero. Or heroine. Whatever.

A queen. I wish i could afford to buy more copies of her books.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 07/03/2024 22:36

Brilliant.

HeyDuggity · 07/03/2024 22:36

I love her. What an inspiration.

hazandduck · 07/03/2024 23:23

Ah I love her. I especially love that there were so many Harry Potters at my kid’s school today for World Book Day. The love of J K Rowling and the world she created never wanes no matter how hard the people attempting to silence, misinterpret and discredit her try.

Morwenscapacioussleeves · 07/03/2024 23:27

I ❤️ JKR & this "no fucks left to give" version even more so!

Rather than spending money on extra copies of her books I like to send it to her charity https://www.wearelumos.org/

Home - Lumos

Lumos is an NGO founded by J.K. Rowling. Working to end the harm of institutionalisation & help children worldwide be reunited with family.

Well done Joanne

Girlontherailreplacementbusservice · 07/03/2024 23:47

She managed that via X so 'sadly' she didn't have to open her mouth to do it.

It's been deleted, who said what?

TheUsualChaos · 08/03/2024 00:10

I just bloody love her. I wish there were more famous people out there prepared to do the same. More seem to be open about supporting her now though which can only be a good thing. Brian Cox one that recently springs to mind.

That prat used to be deeply homophobic and extreme right. A total grifter if there was ever one. Videos of him with Lauren Southern are emerging. He should pipe down but he wont. He revels in the attention.

BoreOfWhabylon · 08/03/2024 01:09

He's unravelling.
Now calling JKR a "putrid c..t"

He posted a video tweet then deleted it:

Luckily, I managed a screen recording of it before it was deleted:

JK Rowling I’m going to make this super quick. We said Community Notes had become a dumpster fire because they have. There’s a huge amount of evidence that things like bots have taken over the system. And just because the note in this situation suited you, doesn’t mean that that’s not correct. And [clap] to be [clap] completely [clap] fucking [clap] honest, calling someone who is trans, a male, is not verifiable fact and not something that Community Note should support! It’s an opinion, and it’s your opinion, which by the way, you’re allowed to have! So having Community Note verify that is bullshit. And you know it as well.

I don’t really know what’s happened to you. I looked up to you even until recently and this seems like it’s a dark story of radicalisation of which I’ve even been down in the past but you have gone another level. You seem to have gone off the rails. So, take yourself back from the cliff edge, realise that calling someone a man who is clearly a woman, is not something Community Notes should support, and let’s all move on.

Crikey. He can't write for shit, can he.

NotBadConsidering · 08/03/2024 01:40

That’s a transcript of the video he did, I should clarify. He spoke those words.

“Our journalist” has become rather testy/petulant with his latest response to JKR.
Note the spelling mistake. Probably had a few vinos methinks?
He’s tweeted in reply to a GIF JKR replied with - at 12:35am -

“Of fuck off Joanne honestly. You are ruining your life and reputation and there’s no need for any of this”

I haven’t stumbled across this yet! That’s even worse than the comment I found from 12:35. Good grief he’s a manchild! Just like Neneh sang, “look at the state you’re in!”

EDIT: Found it now. In response to JKR making a joke about not taking up his offer of appearing on the show because she was afraid of facing UK’s answer to legendary Watergate reporter and Pulitzer Price winner Bob Woodward!
When others commented on his choice of words, he’s doubled down in a very churlish way. What a div!

Mollyollydolly · 08/03/2024 01:53

I can't be arsed to screenshot it all, but Peter Jukes who runs Byline just had his phone stolen in the street. It appears he was looking at the above tweets when it happened. I'm sorry he had his phone nicked but in the thread he's sympathising with the poor lad because of all the 'pile ons' from the likes of JK and Elon Musk.
I had no idea Byline Times were such a bunch of clowns, no idea.
