JK Rowling laying it out clearly

"I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not she’s carried a baby to term, irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible, or if she’s aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others."

Thank you - that's great

Can we have JKR as President of the World, please?

<fans self>

She is such a QUEEN.

Gosh I don’t know why but that made me cry. Thank you for posting and thank you JK x

So clear and beautifully put, JKR is amazing. Please, please let people finally understand she’s not anti-trans! She’s a women’s rights champion and we are lucky to have her.

I am happy to give up my title of Queen of the entire fucking universe. But only so JKR can have it.

She is awesome 😃

That’s a post to save and link to, every time some idiot plays dumb and asks if infertile women aren’t women.

I wonder how long she’s thought about that reply. It’s very clear.

I am so impressed by how she continues to speak, thoughtfully and eloquently, about this important issue.

I ❤️ JKR

We are lucky to have her. So glad this matters to her, and that she's as brave as she is.

Fantastic explanation JKR.
I'm not on X so cant see everything. Whose question was she replying to?

And on she goes being fabulous

She was replying to a generic feeble gotcha that she must be inundated with.

Adding my gratitude and admiration for JKR who uses her fame and power for the greater good

Oh goody! How will they argue with this. 🍿

💜

She is SIMPLY THE BEST

OMG!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have seen “She’s a Nazi” as one eloquent rebuttal…

Good grief! It really is Trying to Explain Reality to Fuckwits isn't it.

No-one has "both sets of equipment", how would that even come about?

I vaguely remember a sci-fi film where someone who was initially a girl, had an accident where the surgeons decided they were male and then they went back in time and impregnated their former self. It was bonkers,

Have you seen the footage from today's Let Women Speak in Edinburgh? The TRA lot are increasing looking like a shambolic bunch of very ill young people who have aligned with the wrong side. I think it really shows that they've been deserted now by the cleverer, more organised lot who can see that the tide has turned and everyone knows now how dangerous puberty blocking and how bad the hate crime law is. Have migrated over to the Palestine marches I guess.

How the fuck can my admiration for JKR keep going up? Every time I think I couldn't admire her more, she does something else to prove me wrong!

She is an amazing woman.

@AIstolemylunch I'm sorry I know it's not the point of the thread, but did the Edinburgh LWS go off okay? I was seriously worried they'd all get arrested because of this ridiculous Hate Crime Law.

And yes JKR is amazing. If she hadn't torpedoed that law on day 1 I hate to think what the situation would be now.
