Replying to @CrypticHollow43

@CrypticHollow43 @DPJHodges @DanniBrener @JoolsJuevans You seem to have missed the explosion of penis-ed 'lesbians' hanging out on gay dating apps and demanding access to women's changing rooms.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @DPJHodges

@DPJHodges @DanniBrener @JoolsJuevans The fact that you think calling a man a woman is a 'simple' thing is such a tell. Of course it's simple, for you. You have literally no skin in the game. Your rights are unaffected. You aren't being pressured or shamed into speaking a lie.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @jrpurdon

@jrpurdon @DPJHodges @DanniBrener @JoolsJuevans When trans people are refused housing, jobs or the vote for being trans, I'll definitely march. However, what a good number of trans activists call 'rights', I call 'unreasonable, authoritarian and misogynistic demands'. That's why you haven't seen me at your Punch TERFs rallies.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @jk_rowling

@DPJHodges @DanniBrener @JoolsJuevans There is literally no other group on earth of which you'd feel comfortable making this demand. You'd never in a million years tell a black person to describe a white grifter as black because it would hurt their feelings if they heard themselves accurately described as white.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @DPJHodges

@DPJHodges @DanniBrener @JoolsJuevans You really can't hear yourself, can you? 'What's the harm in betraying your fundamental beliefs if it makes one man happy?' 'Why won't you agree to have your speech compelled if it validates a man?'

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @SteveBryndir

@SteveBryndir I know, but strangely, Dan doesn't seem interested in policing his fellow men's tone and language. The 'be kind' mantra applies only to women, who must be 'accepting' and 'inclusive' and agree that a man is one of them if he says he is, no matter the inevitable negative consequences for our rights and safety.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @DanielM_W

@DanielM_W @DPJHodges @DanniBrener @JoolsJuevans This isn't a fringe issue, it's a wholesale attack on freedom of speech and women's and girls' rights. You see it as 'fringe' because it doesn't affect any Dans whatsoever.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @DPJHodges

@DPJHodges @DanniBrener @JoolsJuevans My position hasn't changed in the slightest. What you, and many other men, fail to grasp, possibly because you're so used to women coddling men's feelings you see it as the natural order of things, is that while a trans-identified man is absolutely and rightly free to dress and refer to himself however he likes in our society, that doesn't give him rights over women's beliefs and speech. I don't believe a man literally becomes a woman when he identifies as one, and as I have freedom of speech, I have the right to call him a man. The verifiable truth of sex forms the legal basis for women's rights and for safeguarding. Nothing reveals your inability to grasp this issue, or your fundamental sexism, more than the fact that you, a man, are assuming the right to dictate to women how they should speak about men.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @MartinMonmouth

@MartinMonmouth1 @DPJHodges @DanniBrener @JoolsJuevans As Dan isn’t suffering a direct and ongoing attack on his freedom of speech and belief, his rights in law and his physical boundaries and safety, his time might be better spent lecturing about an issue that actually affects him.

Therapists and gay activists have begged Labour to realise that the affirmation-only model could cause serious, irreparable harm to minors, to no effect. I suppose we have to hope Trump says it soon. Then, maybe, they'll listen. 4/X

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @jk_rowling

We know that children who are autistic, same-sex attracted and those who've experienced sexual abuse are overrepresented at gender clinics. We also know, from multiple studies, that the vast majority of children grow out of gender dysphoria if allowed to go through puberty. 3/4

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @jk_rowling

However, in spite of the puberty blockers ban, 'separate moves for a transgender-inclusive ban on “conversion therapy” are understood to be going ahead.' This means therapists will be banned from fully exploring why a child wants to transition. 2/4 https://t.co/V4oUQbD36O

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

'Some sources suggested that the reluctance to push ahead with broader [gender change] reform was down to a desire to protect relations with the United States.' So Trump succeeded where a multitude of British women, including lifelong leftists, failed. 1/4 https://t.co/V4oUQbCvhg

Vast amounts of money have been made out of an ideology that's left devastation in its wake. 'Find the real you through lifelong dependence on hormones, kids! Buy a brand new body!' Supposed left wingers have cheered on a manifestation of capitalism in its most sociopathic form.

@TenHagsRedArmy7 @UnchainedShango @christopherhale And if they put 'chaotic internet personality' on my tombstone I'll be fine with it, because I'll be dead and either living it up with other TERFs in the afterlife, or totally absent and completely indifferent.

Replying to @MiaMartel64

@MiaMartel64 @LuckyCa80364378 @papi_sierra @Charles95684721 @GenderReceipts @TheAcademy Yes, I understand why someone who really likes the musical group the Beatles would describe themselves as a 'Beatles fan', because both the words 'Beatles' and 'fan' have clear definitions. Now give me your definition of 'man'.

Replying to @MoniFunGirl

@MoniFunGirl @againstgrmrs Moni, I've never seen you be anything other than reasonable and empathetic on issues relating to women's rights, and I can say the same of many other trans people on here. Nobody deserves backlash for a brand of activism they don't support. I wish you only health and happiness.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous. Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids. Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters. When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was. Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs. The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Congratulations to every single person on the left who’s been campaigning to destroy women’s and girls’ rights. Without you, there’d be no images like this. https://t.co/mzR7l5k1OW

I've never met a 24-carat misogynist who didn't think this line was clever.

My husband Neil (marathon and endurance runner) just told me he's bought four T shirts. In years to come, a great question to ask self-proclaimed liberal men will be, 'which side were you on - women's rights, or men's demands?'

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

A surprising number of people are keen to tell me they once liked my books, but don't think women and girls deserve fair sport. I'm genuinely not sure what you expect me to do with that information. It's not like I was looking forward to having you over for dinner. https://t.co/8nh8geZ66h

@LuckyCa80364378 @WildfireWhisper @NatashaM1988 @papi_sierra @Charles95684721 @GenderReceipts @TheAcademy Your inability to define what a man is doesn't turn sneezes, maternal instinct and the desire not to drown into ineffable concepts.

Replying to @LuckyCa80364378

@LuckyCa80364378 @papi_sierra @Charles95684721 @GenderReceipts @TheAcademy Excellent, nobody’s ever been able to explain to me how a person knows what their gender is, but I’ve been assured it’s got nothing to do with sex stereotypes or anatomy. How can we tell?

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @LuckyCa80364378

@LuckyCa80364378 @papi_sierra @Charles95684721 @GenderReceipts @TheAcademy So a man is an adult who identifies as a man, but you can’t tell me what the thing they’re identifying as is, just that they become a man by identifying as the thing you can’t define.

Replying to @salltweets

@salltweets I agree, which is why we need legislators who're principled enough to do the research. Too many have chosen to adopt and parrot activist lines, because it was easier than doing the thinking/reading.

Replying to @MCleaver

@MCleaver This scandal will be studied to death in years to come. An ideology spawned in academia met greedy, unethical medics, while a tidal wave of activists, politicians, corporations and self-serving celebs glamourised and normalised irreparable harm to minors.

Replying to @adammcarter

@adammcarter If minors hadn't been irreparably harmed it might have been satisfying to see a reckoning for the mixture of fetishists and fools who've been doing their utmost to normalise and glamourise child transition. As it is, I feel only anger and sadness.

You think you've heard the last word in callous, self-serving, reality-defying luxury beliefs, but then a female legislator responds to a question about a male sexual assault by saying how proud she is of the measures taken to make sure the sex offender's feelings aren't hurt.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @AgearaTHedgehog

@AgearaTHedgehog @ScolaidhDays This cartoon’s perfect, just not in the way the cartoonist intended. It perfectly illustrates the forced teaming trans activists love so much (‘if our demands aren’t met, it’s a matter of time before they come for gay people, women, etc’) but the trans slab is, of course, front and centre and in colour, and will end up on top while crushing the others. For gender identitarians to suggest that freedom of speech and belief are in any way tied to their cause, when they’ve relentlessly tried to stamp out both, is very funny indeed, but I don’t think that was the joke the cartoonist was trying to make, do you?

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

It's so uplifting to see men like this bravely championing the right of girls to watch their menfolk having fun.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

@BasedMillwall Not always gay at all. Plenty of straight celebrities have rushed to get on the gender band wagon and continue to parrot the same ‘reversible’ lie as Van Ness. Meanwhile, much of the pushback against the medicalisation of gender non-conforming kids is coming from gay people.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Yet another grown man advocates for medical interventions on minors that are ireversible, may be deeply regretted and carry a high chance of serious complications. IMO, celebrity gender propagandists like Van Ness are as culpable as the doctors who’ve traded ethics for profit.
