Glamour UK honoured nine “ground-breaking” trans women on its Women of the Year cover, and JK Rowling responded with her usual vitriol and bile.
The magazine’s response said it all...

They can't be "Women of the Year", because they aren't women.

What with humans being mammals and unable to change sex, and "women" being the English word for adult female humans

They aren’t women. Do you also believe the earth is flat?

Waitingfordoggo · Today 17:52

What was the magazine’s response? You don’t seem to have shared it or linked to it but want people to talk about it?

DialSquare · Today 17:52

Examples of the vitriol and bile please.

So what was the magazine's response?

GreyskySexRealistsky · Today 17:53

Oh glad it's not just me!

What a pointless OP!

PSA. This isn’t the ‘old news’ board.

Nearly a year ago...

So this is from LAST October?

Shall we assume there are no current pressing issues for trans people so you're dredging up past ones?

That's great news!

TheKeatingFive · Today 17:57

What's with all this digging up of old non-stories to try to sling mud at JKR?

Can you enlighten us OP?

Oh god, more AI generated tat. Fuck the fuck off with the fuckery for fuck’s sake.

Pinknews is an absolute joke of a publication, often referred to as Pricknews for their tendency to focus on male rights and fuck women, except the be penised ones. Kind of embarrassing that anyone would not notice how misogynistic they are.

Robin's also behind the times as Penis News is no longer in the good graces of the in crowd. They only post archive links to it on Reddit these days.

Another own goal?? Yours!

DialSquare · Today 18:13

No vitriol or bile.
No perfect response.
No own goal.
And it’s a year old.
As a PP said, pointless.

This is similar to the Stephen King thread - someone has decided to dig out all these old JKR stories based on dreadful AI slop Facebook posts. Best ignore. (I realise I'm not helping things by commenting, but I think we're going to get a slew of these.)

FKAT · Today 18:21

In the year since that article was published Pink News has made a load of redundancies, Glamour's web traffic has declined and JKR has got richer by £30 million.

GreyskySexRealistsky · Today 18:22

I do agree with you @RoyalCorgi

...but it does make these people look absolutely desperate

So... swings and roundabouts
