Ok, so I know the educated classes hate us and our Dear Leader, but she's really not doing herself any favours here...

So what is the point of this thread? JKR said something open to misinterpretation, therefore men are women?

Probably 🫠

And/or her work was made into a film that had Johnny Depp in it, therefore men are women

And she didnt buy his yacht, that was horseshit

At least the OP bowed out (so far) when they realised their error. Emily, on the other hand…

It’s like watching Ray Gun breakdance.

That's exactly it!

Part vicarious embarrassment for them, part amusement at inanity, but mostly feeling stunned that someone could be so arrogant as to believe they can do what they blatantly can't.

She bought a yacht that was previously owned by him which she then sold on. She didn’t buy it from him directly. The sounds of barrel scraping…

On another thread I said these numpties sound like an American Right wing woman who belongs to a Moonie Offshoot on a BBC documentary that's on iPlayer this week who went around shouting that the lefties all want abortion to nine months and even after nine months, they want to kill your children and how she had the evidence and could send you all the links.

It'd be hilarious if these weren't real people who really believe this utter easily disprovable horsecrap.

It is so depressing to live in an era of such stupidity that all these people are interested in doing is slinging mud at a wall, in the desperate hope some of it sticks, to try to discredit a person's perfectly legitimate view.

"victims"

"Historically, the Nazi regime violently persecuted LGBTQ+ people, whom they labeled "degenerate" and "socially contagious." The Nazis shut down queer networks, ransacked facilities like the Institute for Sexual Science, and imprisoned tens of thousands of queer individuals in concentration camps, forcing them to wear pink triangles. 1, ]
The Nazi campaign against queer people was rooted in their ideology of racial purity and eugenics. They viewed homosexuality and gender nonconformity as biological corruption, threats to the traditional family structure, and dangers to the Aryan birth rate. 1, 2, "

My word, the similarities with GC ideology is uncanny!

From the Nazis believing they were the victims of degeneracy and social contagion to their obsession with biological supremacy.

Another example of the pernicious use of the contemporary terms "LGBTQ+" and "queer" to co-opt what happened to homosexuals under the Nazis and claim that the few transsexuals of the day experienced the same thing, while also making it seem there were more transsexuals than there actually were.

The yacht was never owned by Johnny Depp. It was built in 2018 under the name Infinity for an American billionaire, Eric Smidt. He sold it in 2022 to an Australian businessman called Brett Blundy, who renamed it Cloud 9. J.K. Rowling bought it from him in 2023.

This information is easily found in online ship registers.

Was this the yacht she used to encircle Stalingrad in the Summer of ‘69?

Not to mention that there are plenty of homosexuals who, rightly, see trans activism as homophobic and a threats to their legal protections because if you can't see sex you can't see homophobia.

Ironically Trans people need sex to have their own legal protection otherwise they become invisible in law. So are turkeys queuing up for Christmas or just another homophobic mens right activist.

Does anyone check the past owners of their private transport vehicles to check they have not been owned by the wrong people to be able to make points on X? Is this a thing now?

This information is easily found in online ship registers.

The Amphirite is being sold through the agents, Curtis Stokes & Associates, for €17.8 million, around £15 million.
The Harry Potter creator bought the Turquoise motor yacht in January 2016 for £22 million.
Described as a “modern motor yacht with classic styling”, the 156-foot Amphirite was previously owned by Johnny Depp, who extensively refitted the vessel in 2009.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor spent £5 million adding a ship-wide entertainment system, renovating the cabins and buying water toys, including skis and wakeboards, for the superyacht.
He later sold it to an American shipping magnate in 2015.
J. K. Rowling decided to buy the yacht, previously called Anatolia and Vajoliroja, after she and her family chartered the vessel for a holiday.

Are you referring to a different yacht as this one was built way before 2018.

Never let the truth get in the way of an activist hyperventilating.

No she was working at the 5 and dime that year.

TBF I thought JKR was solely responsible for nuclear war and the coming alien invasion as well as the fall of the Roman Empire, Slavery, Colonisation of Australia etc etc.

What is it with all these posters? They almost without exception have female names as part of their user names which regular MN users don't.

Are you trying to tell me that biological isn't female?? Or robot. Im sure one of them denoted my feminity or have I been under a massive delusion that the good doctor got his words wrong?? 😮 I now need a nc to reflect my girliness - anyone wanna help?

@EmilyinEverton GC people aren't anti trans? This is news.
Correct. A lot aren't. (Ps it's pro women, not anti trans). But one of the main things that GC people believe in is that men need to fuck off out of women's single sex spaces. If you were born male, just stay out. Okay?

Omg yes. She goes out at night on her broomstick creating them. I saw evidence of this on the internet.

It must be true.
Also, she has a car sticker which says "General Friedrich Paulus Rules", referencing the Nazi Commander at Stalingrad.
Do we need any more proof?

I saw her once in Sainsbury's. She was buying salt and sugar. I took a video I can share to prove she was signalling to others in code about her political affiliations.

JK Rowling put the the Amphitrite back on the market in 2016 and it was sold in 2017 to a
U.S. businessman. It now sails under the name Arriva

The yacht she owns now is currently called Samsara, ownership history as in my PP.

Cool, so two completely different yachts.
