JK being denounced by people who literally covered up rape at the top of their own organisation. Some people have either no self-awareness or no shame.

I mean, it doesn't have to be an either/or...

Femaleness has no relation whatsoever to how well an individual - man or woman - performs femininity to male standards. This is the very definition of misogyny. "

Ooh, going from the replies, it seems like I didn’t post on the wrong thread after all! Sorry for the double confusion; the excitement must have had me all of a dither… (must be cos of my little lady chromosomes 🤣)

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?

I think it's like when 'I'm not really comfortable sharing a changing room with a man' is translated as 'I want you all to die'.

WallaceinAnderland · 02/04/2024 19:03

What exactly am I getting in the way of protection from Police Scotland?

You're getting the same as everyone else. The same as JKR and the same a real women. It's not a crime to offend someone. What makes you think you are so special. You offend people all the time but they don't expect personal police protection. What makes you think you are so special.

I hope this serves as notice to various English police forces that the way they have been persecuting women on the say-so of those who claim to have been the victims of hate crimes and so on is not acceptable.

JKR is disrupting something that has been long in the planning with repeated pushes..

Gay Liberation Front journal - Come Together - issue 11: Lesbians Come Together. It's from a piece by the GLF Transvestite, Transsexual and Drag Queen group, originally published in 1972 and in an issue that was supposed to be all about lesbians (see link for complete archive):

A more central question is how to relate to other women. When we talk about our hopes and fantasies, it becomes apparent that what we want above all is to be accepted as women, primarily by other women. But will we achieve this by looking for ways in which we share experience with regular women or by developing a unique transvestite consciousness?

Sometimes the second approach seems real militant and proud, at other times it seems a cop-out, accepting the prejudiced view that we're not women, that we're some freaky third sex (or fourth or fifth?). Possibly we can find some light by considering the situation of black women and gay women, who develop black pride and gay pride, but still explore their feelings as women. Think how much more inspiring and beautiful the women's revolution will be when it joyously includes all women. Think of a Holloway demo with transvestite, transsexual and drag-queen women, gay women and heterosexual women, black, yellow, brown and white women, working women, housewives and career women. Certainly, whatever course we take as transvestites, transsexuals and drag queens, we must first destroy the trap wherein regular women set up standards by which they accept or reject us .

Gluck has discussed the previous attempts to do this that were upended by women and why it was so important, for this current push, to undermine and discredit women from the outset and to privilege the narrative that favoured men exerting coercive control over others (I paraphrase).

Haha!!

i'm assuming she never really went for it, because it's a little bit of an unfair fight.

I mean no debate was there for a reason.

And now she showing everyone exactly why

She's off the roof and I've dropped her at the airport. You'll have to pick her up the other end if you want to get in before @Emotionalsupportviper !

Too late - she's been here and done me bins.

I gave her a cuppa and a sandwich - she'd had nothing all day <looks accusingly at boiled>

I left her at the bus station with a flask, a four pack of Greggs sausage rolls, and a bag of "Murray Mints, Murray Mints, the too good to hurry mints".

She should be with you by about half seven. Should still be light enough

Datun · 02/04/2024 19:09

Plus, I strongly suspect that most of these men are just thrilled to oblivion that she has even acknowledged them.

They'll have her replies framed on their bedroom wall

Datun · 02/04/2024 19:13

Y'know, Willoughby has tried to engage Rowling for months and months and months. Tried every trick in the book to get her attention.

I wonder if she finally engaged, because she knew April 1 was just around the corner and Willoughby would escalate in exactly the way she wanted.

IcakethereforeIam · 02/04/2024 19:13

IW obviously not pleased 😢

I wonder if any of the complainants who've been told 'no' will try to escalate it? Demand to see the manager so to speak.

Yes, especially the butcher. He was obsessed with her before, didn't he have her book in his shop? Although he may not have access to a printer where he currently is.

motheronthedancefloor · 02/04/2024 19:15

This is building and building towards something...I think JKR is hoping that too.

WallaceinAnderland · 02/04/2024 18:46

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.

It’s usually Willoughby that likes to interject terms like ‘blackwoman’ into discussions when Willoughby thinks it suits Willoughby’s argument (spoiler: it never does).

So, people in glass houses and all that.

Don't blame other transwomen for the offences committed by criminal transwomen. Don't put me on a list with them, I'm not to blame for their actions.

Willoughby doesn't appear to get logic. Or argument.

I suspect, Willoughby's role in all this is going to fall off a cliff pretty soon.

Also India WIlloughby:

Is 10% a good percentage? I certainly don't think it can be less than that so Indy thinks at least 1.4 million of JKRs followers are potentially murderous psychopaths? Wow. Just wow.

In my defence I spent a good portion of the day trawling three threads for photos and then trying to get them to upload onto Twitter without Twitter disappearing my just finished tweet eleventybillion times!
