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...

As usual it's a new poster posting risible drivel.

School's back tomorrow so hopefully they'll be gainfully employed for a few days. 🙄

PSA. This isn’t the ‘old news’ board.

Apparently it is!

A year ago!!! Fucking hell!

Why does Glamour 'magazine' have a 'cover'? It's digital only for nearly 10 years.

Who gives one shiny shit about 'Glamour Magazine' anyway?

Didn't we see that pic ages and ages ago, have they run out of Gender Appropriating men to give awards to.

Ah ok. I thought at first that I had a really strong case of Déjà vu but no, we already discussed this nearly a year ago on MN so I don’t feel the need to comment again.

Better luck next time Jo 🤣

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

Can you enlighten us OP?

It’s the ‘sinking ship’ desperation I think.

FWR keeps getting OPs that are an attempt to bait FWRers into saying something they can then screech about.

They would stop doing this if no one responded!

How many threads a day are now of this pointless needling?

Hmm

It's a year old, but even without that you're really stretching.

JKR criticised the Women's Mag industry's historic abysmal values promoting thinness and prettiness as female ideals and now criticises them for promoting being male as a female ideal. And you think that Glamour magazine have owned her by posting back a response that suggests she's just jealous?

She'll have been laughing her head off at that one.

“I grew up in an era when mainstream women’s magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. Now mainstream women’s magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are.”

I would be very interested if someone could please point out the vitriol and bile in this quote.

I do agree with you @RoyalCorgi

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

So... swings and roundabouts

#letthemspeak and make tits of themselves.

The "dolls" terminology makes me shudder.
