I'll let off a four-year-old, having listened to the clip.

But good grief, that is so obviously a male voice. Why on earth should anyone be criminalised for being able to tell?

Although Neeves got free reign to describe JK as "transphobic'; "not a nice person"; wanting to martyr herself; riling up her supporters to post on line hate etc. No attempt to modify the voice; just "wants to be happy".

If you could ask her to get a wriggle on? It’s rained here something dreadful and this here downpipe isn’t going to fix itself.

Ta.

The male propensity for cross dressing has been totally re-branded, hasn't it? And what is amazing is just how many men and boys do it, and always have done.

Borrowed? You’d not want them back after he’d “borrowed” them, would you?

<pours bucket of mind bleach>

The world must be so simple to them. Black/white, correct/wrong, transphobic/kind…no difficult nuances to navigate or humour to decipher.

Bless ‘em.

Neeves simultaneously claiming to feel very sorry for JKR, who surely can't be happy, in comparison to Neeves who is living their best joyful life in their 'own truth', whilst also musing whether to press charges against JKR under the new hate crime law for causing abject distress and hurt.

Which is it Katie? Surely there's no hate crime to report if the only emotion JKR's tweet provoked was pity? 🤔 (or would that be narcissistic rage identifying as pity?)

Yeah, this is one of those cases where 'borrowed' is certainly worse than 'stole.'

I suppose i'd better put the ladder back up then. She's been yelling to me for the past two hours that she can't get down.

I reckon by the time she's got to the airport and back to Scotland from deepest darkest Peru she'll be with you about September

Glad you didn't let her get away with a shoddy job.

All this adulation makes her think she's as untouchable as Gregggggggg Wallace, and she can do what she likes.

Remind her that my bins need washing, will you

Remind her that my bins need washing, will you

Oi, there’s a queue you know!

Just realised I was deleted.
Can I Report that as a Hate Crime do you reckon?
I HAVE BEEN ERASED!! Literally!

What a fucking shitshow, Scotland.

But then I get to say this again:

JKRowling is Queen and Legend. 🥳🥳

I take it that all these media shows talking about JKR and her 'hate crimes' will also be going on Ze List?

Nope? Just JKR who isn't allowed to leave Scotland for a Bank Holiday weekend now either.

I remember that. Indeed I remember thinking that instead of him jumping up and trying to do some not-very-convincing 'good-natured' banter with the press about how he knew they were going to use it to make him look terrible, he should have stayed down and pretended to have hit his head.

Then Glenys could have cradled his head and held it above the surf till the reporters ran to help, and Neil could have shaped it as an exciting skirmish with death topped with some kind of 'greatest love story ever told' narrative while he bonded with his saviours, the British press.

But I'm quite machiavellian.

The Murray Blackburn Mackenzie letter detailing how issues were flagged with ScotGov has I’m sure been discussed elsewhere on FWR. Lucy Hunter Blackburn has been posting about it all on TwiX, & has revealed that ScotGov decided, having promised they would issue specific guidance regarding it not being a crime to, eg, correctly sex (or “misgender”) someone, reneged on doing so.

Obviously they had an excellent reason for this volte face, given they were being advised it was needed off the back of the multiple court cases enshrining the protection of gender critical beliefs in law & highlighting that rights must be balanced etc.

Ahahahahahahahaha.

After the act was passed, the follow-up meeting to discuss the guidance was a singular event that shaped my future political career. At that meeting ministers decided that they would not add clarifying real-world scenarios involving gender-critical feminists as there was nothing to gain, and it would upset the
transgender lobby.

But of course - what are women’s rights, anyway. “Nothing to gain” - Merciful Christ on the cross & his Holy Mother weeping THE SHEER FECKING ARROGANCE OF IT 🤬

I think a hash tag in in order, may I suggest #arrest me - biological sex is real!
Laughable to be arrested for actually telling the truth, imagine giving evidence in court, " i swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth"...then promptly being sentenced to 7years in prison for doing so, oh what a mess they have created.

There's a big Rangers v Celtic game coming up this weekend. They'll have to look into Nightingale police stations at this rate.

In all seriousness, it will be interesting to see if the poliss decide to go after the football fans for the bigotry that flows forth from certain elements of supporters at Old Firm derby matches. Or if it's just 'banter' because it's lads and it's footie, innit.

Its absoluetely FINNNNNEEE to upset women, but OUTRAGEOUS to upset the men.
Its crucial that we have hate crime laws to protect gender reassignment but the idea of protecting women on the basis of sex is apparently unworkable or not important.

We get it. Loud and clear.

Its like a mega phone call "WE HATE WOMEN. NO. NOT TRANSWOMEN. JUST WOMEN WHO TALK!"
[Drops voice a level] "Oh wait, what so you mean thats transphobic and not inclusive to not hate transwomen equally with other women like black women and gay women and muslim women and old women."
[Drops voice another level] "Sorry, I'm getting confused here. Oh shit, what are women again? How can we tell which ones are trans and in need of protection and which ones are nasty ones?
[starts whispering] What do you mean, the same way you can tell which ones are male which ones ones are female. How is this going to work again without us looking like total dicks?"

Apologies if this has already been posted

"Again with the legacy guff... if your friend History thinks women don't deserve sex-based rights, healthy kids should be medicalised and free speech needs stamping out, I'm not interested in being his buddy. He sounds a massive dick."

It would appear that at least 3 unimpressed people have been in touch with IW already.

Although who the hell are Katie Aldi and Mridul Wadh? 😕

Thanks for all the links, everyone. I put my two penn'orth on many a Twatter post now.

Surely Police Scotland haven't acted against JKR because a sensible one saw the impending shit storm and set their email filter to "Contains JK Rowling = Spam."

And I must say that you never see Katie Neeves and Bruce Dickinson in the same room, do you?

I have enjoyed the last two days far more than I expected to, in large part thanks to JKR.

'He sounds a massive dick' ! 😆

😲 how very dare you! My eldest would have your guts for garters.

i have to say though although i'm not a fan of his sound and i have seen him wear very dodgy trousers (the frogskin ones😬) I think he'd draw the line at his sister's knickers.

Thank you for your contributions on TwiX. I can't see them but I'm betting they're awesome.
