A trans activist walked into Stonewall’s offices today and read a letter demanding that Kezia Dugdale and Stonewall publicly condemn

Stonewall’s response?

They reportedly called the police.

Noticeably the trans activist was being incredibly restrained compared to some of their usual behaviour. Still Stonewall felt the authorities had to step in to assert their boundaries.

it still really bugs me when people call her JK (R)OW-ling and not Roe-ling.

But that’s how her name is pronounced. I saw a tweet from JKR quite recently stating that it’s Rowling to rhyme with bowling.

I think that’s what the pp is saying, no? I always pronounce it wrong, force of habit 😂

Yes, I was! Didn't think of the right way to express it! Bowling not Growling. Will try harder next time to express myself better!

I always remember that it rhymes with rolling and as in rolling with money.

Imagine if Stonewall had put all that energy into fighting homophobia in men's sport, especially football.

CassOle · 19/06/2026 14:12

Or reducing homophobia in countries where people can still be punished or killed for being gay... imagine if they had made progress there.

Or thought more about human beings and making the world a safer place for everyone, than making money and getting themselves into the House of Lords.

Or even just focused on the importance of transpeople being safe & respected in the spaces for their own sex.
