Wow! Just saw this linked on substack and came straight here! She's such a bloody brilliant woman! This has made me so happy. And it's going to be a game changer! LOVE HER.

They're discussing this on Blue-sky.

Why is it always piss?

Rose Schmits is awful. I was so glad when we got Princess as the kiln person in Pottery Throw Down in the latest series.

I came across Schmits' Twitter and thought it'd be ordinary pottery stuff, but no, and leaving Pottery Throw Down was accompanied by a big old stompy rant.

R/transgenderUK has finally noticed: https://www.reddit.com/r/transgenderUK/s/CZKWqze0VZ

They're having a normal one, of course. Sample quotes:
"She will be looked at in the same way as those who flew confederate flags and hurled abuse at black children as they walked to school."

"Fuck her. GLP and TransActual has our backs and we need to just keep contributing to our combined, communal safety. Good luck to GLP on their suit and please donate!!!"

"This makes me laugh because if you wanted to get help from the funding but they don't allow you because you look masculine but are a woman that's fucked but if you are trans and do get funding because you look feminine enough well shit they fucked up real good"

"Anyone notice the rune like Venus symbol, It feels like symbolism from some very shady groups."

Again, not a MH issue apparently 🤦‍♀️

Brain rot indeed. It is difficult to fathom what kind of cognitive processing is going on when JKR’s words about the fund are interpreted to suggest that access will be determined by how feminine or masculine a woman looks. This sort of interpretation confirms that there is no merit in engaging with many TRAs.

With regard to the spamming strategy, it’ll take seconds to screen them out. Again, it represents a level of pettiness and desperation that isn’t evident on the women’s sex based rights side

She’s already told them she anticipated the spamming and has a mechanism to immediately deal with any duplicates. They really need to understand the intelligence level of JKR, she’s not an idiot!

IBelieveinSomething · 24/05/2025 23:22

we are on the right side of history. JKR this is a wonderful thing you have done. I can’t even say what happened to me as i am very worried it would be outing. A thing that really angers me is being told ‘it doesn’t affect you’. They mean i am so old that i cannot even trigger an attack by a trans identifying man. I was attacked by someone at that time i only ever put forward a view that ‘the law needs clarified’. I was pushed into the middle of a busy road. Anyway, i watch all the law cases and know that rightness will prevail. The law has been clarified and needs to be implemented!

I just can't understand how they can check her life against theirs and somehow still conclude that she isn't at least as smart as they are.

Fuck's sake.

They may seem thick as pig-shit, but the sway they hold... over, y'know, the clever people. 🙄
JKR obv brilliant, the country is so lucky to have her.

Slothtoes · 24/05/2025 23:47

She’s so brilliant. I love her. JKR for PM please.

From the Reddit group re JKR:

"Good thing there aren't serious, actual threats to women's rights going on at the moment that this funding could be better put towards."

No words.

Never fails does it? Five minutes ago the same people were telling us pretty much any kind of feminist action in the UK was frivolous because there were more serious, actual threats to women in insert country from the Global South

And they still manager to think they're coming up with a brand new deflection tactic, every time.

I wonder if they can be done for malicious communication?

Datun · 25/05/2025 03:39

Key aspects of malicious communications:

Intent to cause distress or anxiety:
The sender must have the intent to cause the recipient distress or anxiety.

Nature of the communication:
The communication must be indecent, grossly offensive, threatening, or contain false information that the sender knows or believes to be false.

Fits the bill to me

I think the next Strike book is out in September which I will pre-order if I can. The full set sits on the bookcase in the living room.

Please excuse my ignorance but what is Strike about? Never heard of it.

I'm not really a reader HP makes up half the fiction books I've read as an adult. I start books but never finish them. If I've finished it then it's a great book!

JKR has published a series of detective novels written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. The central character is Cormoran Strike. I have really enjoyed them. From a recent article in the Times I understand that all the profits from the first one 'The Cuckoo's Calling' go to a charity.

Thank-you I'll give them a go.

It's desperate and truly pathetic.

Haha how dim these men are to think that JKR wouldn’t have spam protection. Thick as mince.

UrsulasHerbBag · 25/05/2025 08:30

I’ve seen a couple of men on twitter being pissed that it’s only for women too. Plus the “this fund will only be used to harass trans people and people she doesn’t like”. I personally think she will back the cases that will have the most impact (sandie P etc) and be instrumental in changing/clarifying the law for the betterment of women. She’s set this up over a long period of time and will have very clear objectives because she’s phenomenal.

It doesn't explicitly say it's only for women, though the name implies it. The eligibility criteria section of the form doesn't exclude men. I've put in an application based on this and will post the reply, which should confirm or deny whether men can apply or not.

ThatCyanCat · 25/05/2025 09:08

There's just a certain kind of man who thinks that as he is a man, he just must be smarter than any woman. We get them on here a lot. Even a woman like JKR, who has done this before and clearly has the knowledge, contacts and resources. They truly think that because they're men, they'll always be smarter than any woman and have thought of stuff she and her team of experts didn't.

It's one reason they're so mad that terfs are winning. We're just stupid, ditsy women, we shouldn't be any match for their male reason and intellectual power. How dare we think of stuff.

Anyway, the team will have plenty of anti spam and DoS protection. JKR won't have to worry about it, the experts who are paid handsomely to do it as their job will handle it. It'll be all in a day's work for them and no worry for her.

The legal team will already be on top of which cases are important for setting precedent. We need those rulings, not out of court settlements. I think that if you decline an out of court offer but then win and aren't awarded more than the settlement offer, you're liable for all costs, which can easily exceed the award. (Happy to be corrected.) If that's the case, the fund will mean women can push for the case to be heard when that's necessary to get the precedent ruling without having to weigh up whether a win could still ruin them.

It's always The Bee Movie. Seriously - been used to flood a lot of American websites deemed anti trans. I haven't seen it, is there some significance or just the usual reliance on a very limited set of shit ideas/talking points?

There's not a single original thought in their heads.
