He’s said “transphobic” things himself in the past. Just attention seeking and riding on JKR’s coattails like so many of these tedious people do.

Yep. A lot of ”trans allies” have comments like these in their posting history.

I like JKR's reply because she didn't reach for her readily-available [because she's so witty] and usually devastating humorous response: this is deep and serious and addresses so many of the facile jibes flung at her as if she was a bored billionaire bigot.
This is serious, and it hits hard because the truth hurts.

Very strong response from JKR. Ooof!

SirChenjins · 15/06/2025 12:19

She wiped the floor with him there. Pathetic little man.

DeanElderberry · 15/06/2025 12:27

And just think, she's still writing, still creating.

SirChenjins · 15/06/2025 13:53

Still bringing in the £millions - and still using it to protect the rights of women.

No wonder certain men hate her - their fragile egos and sense of entitlement can’t stand the fact she’s more successful than they’ll ever be.

God imagine receiving a reply like that, it would haunt you until the end of your days.

It would if you had two brain cells to rub together. In this case, though ...

Boy George would know all about beating people up.

BlueandWhitePorcelain · 15/06/2025 16:57

I don’t care about what Boy George thinks. I like his music; but when I watched him on “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here”, he came across to me as self centred.

IMO, JKR is a brave woman and stands up for women, even if it’s unfashionable; but prescient!

EasternStandard · 15/06/2025 17:00

Men love to shift blame onto women. For all this.

Amazing that they never look to their own violence and culpability as a sex class.

Butchyrestingface · 15/06/2025 17:06

Boy George is probably just pissed that it wasn't HIM who got to beat the women up.

Igmum · 15/06/2025 20:07

Yes! JKR ✊ what a woman. Brilliant response.

I had no idea that anyone other than the perpetrators of violence were responsible for committing violence!

I wonder who was responsible for Boy George chaining someone to a radiator and beating them with a metal chain?

So that we can issue tweets against them, of course.

probably JK Rowling

Datun · 15/06/2025 20:41

You couldn't have a literary device that illustrated shhh, the adults are talking, better than that response.

How he got work on a BBC family prime time show after those convictions baffles me.
Especially one about singing when (to my ear at least) his singing is incredibly limited.

It isn't really baffling its the BBC

Once held up for their integrity those days are long gone

Poynsettia · 16/06/2025 12:27

It’s a shame this has been posted here - who cares what that loser says. Let it disappear…..

GrimDamnFanjo · 16/06/2025 12:52

Isn’t his former pal Marilyn a bit terfy?

Grammarnut · 16/06/2025 13:04

Not good at the syllogism racket, Boy George. And if no men in frocks went into the Ladies no-one would be interested in butch Lesbians there. Also, didn't he lock up his escort? Hardly one to be throwing stones.

Giggorata · 16/06/2025 13:20

Boy George is full of shit.

Who listens to him, anyway?

GrimDamnFanjo · 16/06/2025 12:52

Ya he was extremely sex-realist and vocal about it. His account "mistermarilyn" is suspended on X - I expect there is a connection between those two things!

🤣

He always puts in the extra detail! It’s with reading all of the little snippets.

“Are you chained to your current radiator service provider?” 🤣
