It's easily checked that JKR hasn't deleted her tweets so why have 125k people like this?

An engineer friend of mine sent me this recently. He said it perfectly represented how he felt at work with the more...appearance based disciplines. I think it's relevant here.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

I like to imagine JK is too busy learning French via Dualingo to tweet - so that in the unlikely event she is incarcerated in France she will be able to talk to fellow female inmates about trans prison policy and come out ready to relay their words to the whole world.

God forbid anybody should go on holiday in August and not spend it on Twitter.

These people will swear blind that she's an obsessive then the moment she logs off for five minutes they're into her Twitter metadata. They are complete lunatics.

Maybe.

Maybe.

There's a very early episode of the X-Files that's worth watching through a modern lens, Season 1, Episode 14, "Gender Bender"

It's about a member of an Amish community who is able to change sex at will, an idea that in 1994 was so absurd that Mulder and Scully were called in.

"JK Rowling has not only been silent for a week, but she has also deleted her Tweets, looks like she is scared of Imane Khelif taking her to court She could just apologise, Imane Khelif already said she would accept an apology "I'm sorry you are a woman" Not so difficult is it?"

Let me be the first to wish them luck with that.

😁

ChaChaChooey · 21/08/2024 16:01

Absolutely moronic article repeats unsubstantiated claims that JK has deleted IK tweets whilst also imbedding obviously still live tweets in the body of the article.

(the random ‘deleted posts’ showing on social blade are probably just retweets that have had the OG tweet deleted or retweets from since deleted accounts, they could have been posted at any time in the history of JK’s account)

Why would she be sorry that he's a woman?

NitroNine · 21/08/2024 16:46

I get second-hand embarrassment from their absolute idiocy.

My mental acuity is horrendously diminished by my epilepsy medication (& I am constantly conscious of this to the point it can be quite distressing; especially when other issues exacerbate the reduction in my capacity for cognition) but frankly I think I’m more mentally agile than the mob bent on harassing JKR even when post-ictal & unable to speak [English] 🤷‍♀️

TRAs just endlessly abuse JKR on TwiX - it is absolutely foul; & should she respond, they shriek that she is bullying whoever she responded to. Nope, the bullying is the great gang of TRAs devoting their time to obsessing at & over her; sending abuse; making [thinly-veiled] threats; & generally highlighting they are the very dregs of the dregs of society.

Igmum · 21/08/2024 16:47

Jeez. Can't a woman go on holiday for a couple of weeks (notifying us all that she is off in case we were worried) without every TRA on the planet imploding?

A thought - if she took a month off would they totally self destruct? I mean I want the next Strike book as much as the next woman but I'd be happy for a short delay if it achieved that.

annejumps · 21/08/2024 17:09

Now an anonymous commenter on that article's comments is vaguely threatening other anonymous commenters.

Omlettes · 21/08/2024 17:35

Utterly ridiculous, a higher res photo clearly shows the 'black mold' is a wallpaper design ffs! And thats been clarified repeatedly.
As if a billionaire would have mold on their walls.
How is it possible to be so stupid, or so stupidly dishonest.
I can only assume its the same tactics that Trump uses, repeat something often enough and people will believe it.

Exactly, Ereshkigalangcleg, it's something I find very hard to deal with too - in fact if it wasn't for FWR I'd have been in a bad place mentally/psychologically.

No exaggeration, I'm a very rational personal and when I realised that there were people out there saying obvious nonsense AND having a social movement based around it AND getting to change the law, medicine, education, language etc on the basis of their nonsense, it really 'destabilised' me, to borrow your word. And I'm not easily destabilised.

Finding this site was reassuring - the whole world hasn't embraced the delusional nonsense.

Right there with you MarieDeGournay!

Omlettes · 21/08/2024 17:54

MarieDeGournay · 21/08/2024 14:21

It's also because we live in a post-factual world where providing chapter and verse from a verifiable source that something is inaccurate means absolutely nothing to people like TRAs, who have their own truth, their own reality, and clearly feel no need for it to coincide with the kind of reality that's based on easily checkable facts.
That's beyond unavoidable stupidity.

Thats because of Trump, he blazed that trail for tras to use.

ChaChaChooey · 21/08/2024 18:30

I’m glad you found us, Marie (and that we all found each other! FWR is a beacon of light in a misty, boggy landscape).

Ohyoudodoyou · 21/08/2024 18:48

I do think if JKR never contributed to X again that I wouldn't blame her. She's been so pilloried and demonised for such spurious reasons that it surely must get to you, even if you're wealthy and successful (people turning up at her home, someone doxing a young woman erroneously saying it was her daughter and grandchild for example)
She's a remarkable woman but I also feel we have a responsibility to also not expect her to have to be the bearer of the 'gender critical' baton. I almost feel as though some people on X (both sides) are salivating waiting for her to post.
On the flip side, I've also seen India willoughby's recent posts and they seem to indicate weariness at the whole trans thing , although I think willoughby's posts are utterly hateful in the way in which women are criticised. I think it must dent your mental health if that's your sole reason for being on social media.
Social media is a vicious arena to fight in, I really hope JKR is having a wonderful holiday and just clearing her head for her next book, she's had an exhausting journey to get to this point.
We have a fairly safe space here, and I'm anonymous on X but recently spoke out about an issue on FB and lost a friend or two.

Its like the boundary between being and adult and being a child is being blurred.

I had a conversation at work about how young children are accessing grown up material and how its almost impossible to stop them, and even if you do everything you can, they are still going to be mixing with kids whos parents don't bother to monitor what they see. And how this is robbing children of their childhoods.
And then conversely you get fully grown adults living in on fantasy island.
I clicked on a link here to a redit trans thread on some nonsense and read these infantile posts and there was I thinking; well these are just kids afterall. And then it turns out the poster was a 34 year old man fgs!

Rymeswithpunt · 21/08/2024 19:05

@Ohyoudodoyou Its the idiocy that is so very depressing.

There are very few people that I can talk about these issues IRL working in an entirely captured institution so these threads have been a sanity saver for me. I just. Do not get. Highly intelligent people. Buying into these delusions.

@Ohyoudodoyou Its the idiocy that is so very depressing.

The idiocy is MINDBOGGLING! All these men on TikTok videos goading women and saying that we are jealous! ( they all have anime/go fund me/Kofi/in their bio - always 'girls' instead of 'women', always wearing a choker and with one painted fingernail and a crop top. What have they been drinking?)
But...also the absolute flat-earthery of politicians and celebs saying TWAW and no debate - they invariably have a kid dressing as the opposite sex.
I do see the walls starting to tumble:
Pink news seeing the trans issue as 'contentious'

Stonewall losing contracts

More traditional pride flags starting to be displayed than the 'progress' one

Lots of tribunals and court cases being settled in favour of common sense

She really does live rent free in their heads 😂
Hope she's having a cracking holiday!
