Allsopp, of course, previously declared that she knew nothing but waded in a year ago anyway and does not seem to have done any due diligence since.

Allsopp's follow-up:
Is this her experience or Allsopp's re-writing of what happened, despite the readily available evidence that it isn't?

I also see that as her way of saying ‘see, I have been a TERF, honest! I’m just like JKR! Now that I’ve seen the reaction to Cass’

Generally, I think its an attempt to change the focus. So instead of talking about childrens healthcare and that possibly leading to discussion about the way children are treated at school or the whole of trans healthcare, they pick on a detail and try to prove that wrong.
So, instead of talking about children, its become a free speech issue, or the idea that twitter was never the place to have the discussion in the first place.
Maybe that she did talk about this a lot in private, and didnt notice it not being discussed so freely in public?

Allison Bailey isn't a KC, though.

Looking at twitter, think Dawn French is back on board the sensible bus.
Glinner has called out multiple comedians.
He omitted Jo Caulfield who was gleeful when his event in Scotland was cancelled - I don't understand comedians being gleeful over another one's cancellation.
It is all so performative.
I think JKR's tipping point, as mine would be, was the attempted doxxing of her daughter and putting another innocent woman in the firing line. She's enraged and been moderate despite all the attacks. KA's wet comments won't win her any fans.
