'Someone is going to get killed'.

Too much drama for a rainy Tuesday.

To be fair someTHING did get killed. The Hate crime Bill! And it was JKR with the typewriter in the ? Bahamas probably!

Christ, Willoughby cannot be this stupid. It's nothing to do with sex offenders, mate, it's to do with being male.

Show me a non-trans male athlete in a woman's race!

No MEN!

For instance. Anyone who is not male, but is trans, can go in a woman's prison.

So Paul is knickers theft borrowing really common or really outrageous? If it the first why shouldn't JK mention it and if it the latter why are you downplaying it. One thing is certain it can't be both simultaneously.

This took my breath away

"If they go after any woman for simply calling a man a man, I'll repeat that woman's words and they can charge us both at once."

That's what true leadership looks like

She is MAGNIFICENT.

FINE. But when my geraniums are drowned, I’ll be blaming you.

“We could have had real world examples for the police to use in training. But what happened was he broke those promises because ministers decided that it would upset the trans lobby if those examples were given in the guidance to the police.”

I think the Scottish Greens have been getting off far to lightly. The SNP deserve the appropriate that they've been receiving but so do the Greens.

If I were JKR I'd, well, first I'd take a moment so you could bask in my glory😀, then I'd see what I could do to find out the contents of any panicky messages flying between Police Scotland and Holyrood about me.

I honestly don't understand why they can't 'upset the trans lobby?' Unless the 'trans lobby' is funding them, where's the power??

Although the talking head in the item on Taylor Swift on the BBC 6 o'clock news on the telly was a cracker.

A professor from Harvard who goes by the name of Stephanie Burt and who is plainly, patently, visibly male

It's not a list of sex offenders though is it.

It's a list of men who harm women in many ways including, but not limited to, physically and sexually, or by taking their places in sports or in business, or by being misogynistic.

IW was on that list for misogyny.

IW is seething but getting very little support because all reasonable people, including Police Scotland, can see that.

IW is saying compare it to race and replace trans with black. Well how could you? If it we compare to black women, they have a right to all those female spaces and if we compare to black men, they don't.

Race is not comparable to gender no matter how hard IW tries to insist it is. Even KM has asked IW to stop doing this.

'Someone is going to get killed'.

Too much drama for a rainy Tuesday.

How do you get from

'no male can ever transition to being a female cos reality and we need to be able to talking about this cos of the reality of threat to women'

To understanding the above as

'kill trans-people'?

I'm curious.

It's funny how the only people making this leap of understanding seem to be trans people and their particularly batshit friends.

No one normal is making the connection. They are nodding heads and going hmm 'yes cos biology. Dresses, lipstick, heels, hormones plastic surgery do not change your sex to female even though we might like to be nice about it all'

While being on the same team as 'die in a fire' 'choke on my lady dick' etc etc. Threats aren't threats but facts are?

Willoughby is the absolute last person I would want on my side if I was trans.

The only reason Willoughby doesn't realise this is, I should imagine, because they've blocked everyone who isn't a rabid TRA.

The whole you're killing people, you want genocide, you're in a frenzy of hate schtick is playing straight into JKR's hands.

The police, and the government in Scotland, are getting a first-hand lesson in exactly who is going to be exploiting their ridiculous law.

Absolutely. I sort of expected Katy Neeves to try and put on a female voice, maybe a bit Dick Emery, but no KN sounds exactly as he is.
