"The stage production, which is set to debut at the Edinburgh Fringe, has already caused outrage over a working title which labelled the gender-critical Harry Potter author a c----."

"The production is yet to cast any of the female roles, including that of Rowling herself."

"Actors have been found for male leads, who will portray Harry Potter cast members Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe."

If you look up woman in the dictionary you get a picture of IW

Arf!

It's his second cervix that makes him more of a woman.

Charabanc is a splendid word that deserves to be used more often and I’m up for the ladies’ outing. I suggest we hold off on paying the deposit though, @Chersfrozenface , just in case unforeseen circumstances spoil our plan.

We'd have to time it right, things this good sell out quickly

Silver cervix, I assume.

SPOONS FROM THE LEFT.

I see IW has changed IW's mind about paying for that blue tick. Despite regularly hating on Elon Musk and vowing to never give him money. Such a turnaround.

Again.

Is your womanliness linked to the number of cervixes? I'm imagining a cervix arms race between JKR and Windy.

"I've got 796 now, Jo!"

Your post reminded me of this classic from when The Onion was funny.

Competitive cervixing - men win every time, it’s the male puberty that gives them the advantage.

Fantastic.

Because no one bit to your JKR slur? The irony.

I love it when the Very Kind people turn up to insult us. So edifying.

Please, please let India Willoughby play this role 🙏🙏🙏

There's an article interviewing the men responsible in the Telegraph

I'd be prepared to believe their protestations of being even handed except

If the message of the play is anything, it’s ‘why are we having such a huge fight over less than one per cent of the population?’

They just don't see women at all, do they?

They just don't see women at all, do they?

They don't. And it doesn't matter how often you explain it to them, they don't understand it's not about 1% of the population. Once you have self-ID, any man can declare himself a woman, so it becomes about the 50% of the population who are male.

He also does that thing of pretending the abuse and protests are coming from the feminist side, when we know full well that it is the trans activists who routinely try to stop women speaking through violence, threats of violence, intimidation against venues, disruption of meetings and malicious reports to the police.

But I don’t drill down into the arguments.

Haha, I bet you don't.

Man who isn’t affected by the erosion of women’s rights, doesn’t get what all the fuss is about. Instead of trying to learn, he decides to mansplain womanhood to women.

Same old, same old.

Irony ??? Very much a stretch.
Hugely weird you checked out other posts...you are a very dedicated and tenacious little 'mumsnetter'
I guess we all need a hobby ..I tend to get out and about.

…which I guess is why you are here as obviously out and about isn’t enough for you. Never mind. Settle in - you might learn something.

Yet here you are 😂.

U OK, hun?

Yep slagging off people who use mumsnet on mumsnet is a bit of a self own.
Very inconsistent/double standards.

It amuses me. The Legend of Mumsnet!

I think it's generally agreed we are a soft target. they can jump in with a shiny username and tell everyone off, tell us they're archiving us and reporting us to the police... and we're like "That's nice dear"
Not always easy to tell if they have an issue with mumsnet, or just mummy issues
