The fact that so many UK trans activists are shrieking about injustice says it all. You never had the rights you claim you've now lost; you had demands. Your sense of entitlement grew unchecked because cowards and idiots bowed down to your campaign of intimidation. No longer. 2/2

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Winners in the UK Supreme Court today: Women and girls, including trans-identified women (continue to benefit from maternity rights etc) Gay people Freedom of speech Freedom of association Those at risk of discrimination for a belief in the material reality of sex. 1/2

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

The court clarified that UK women have sex-based rights. You and your fellow activists' meltdowns are laying bare what has been obvious to a lot of us for years: when you say 'equality' you mean 'women have no right, under any circumstances, to draw boundaries that exclude men.' https://t.co/k1OE3leiIT

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

The Supreme Court upheld the rights of women and gay people today. Now they're getting a 'kicking' from the man who tried and failed to sue a gay rights charity out of existence. I'm guessing they'll sleep just fine.

@Marcisissy Wrong. The Supreme Court ruling didn't make new law, it clarified existing law.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Well, James, we had to choose between between male rapists being locked up with women and the eradication of women's single-sex spaces, even down to homeless shelters and rape crisis centres, and knowing we share a single opinion with Donald Trump. I'm comfortable with my choice.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Spare a thought today for the UK employers, government departments, health boards, academic institutions and sporting bodies who've been breaking equality law to appease activist groups. So many HR manuals to pulp. So many out-of-court settlements to pay. #SupremeCourt

@folieaphoebe_ @SEAConsv @AidanCTweets Misogyny is not 'based off the gender others perceive you as.' Prejudice against trans-identified men is real, but it isn't and never has been rooted in a belief that such men are actually women. Quite the reverse.

'Little ladies' fumbling with their pearls -> female prisoners locked up with male rapists, ill women requiring intimate care, girls forced to share changing rooms with males, sportswomen cheated out of their life's goal, lesbians under attack for being same sex attracted.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they’ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK. @ForWomenScot, I’m so proud to know you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

@LooseLeafLuci @antonjk30 @SEAConsv @AidanCTweets As I said above, it’s irrelevant whether a woman has children, wants children or can have children. Women’s bodies are organised to produce eggs and bear children and consequently differ from men’s in myriad important ways. Sewing a uterus into a man would not make him female.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Please show me where I’ve spread disinformation. Is it by sharing well-evidenced detriments to women and girls in sport? By quoting medical studies showing proven harms to children? By pointing out that sexual predators are capitalising on the movement you champion?

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Man continues to insist that women must redefine their own sex class to include his fellow men, and sincerely believes this makes him a progressive hero. https://t.co/5dd7eypIB1

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

I'm no more denying a trans-identified man's 'humanity' by calling him a man than I dehumanise a white person by accurately naming their skin colour. You appear to believe it's every woman's duty to set aside their own interests to affirm and validate such men, but I disagree.

Replying to @PierreJouet

@PierreJouet @SEAConsv @AidanCTweets I wonder what it was about Berns - a fiercely intelligent lesbian who couldn't be bullied into agreeing that men should transgress literally all women's boundaries - that angered Aidan so much he was still obsessively denigrating her, even after her early death?

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

@LooseLeafLuci @SEAConsv @AidanCTweets Can you point to what I’ve ever said that shows I think trans people are ‘subhuman’? I’ve just acknowledged that trans-identified men experience prejudice. It’s just not misogyny.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

@LooseLeafLuci @SEAConsv @AidanCTweets Pretty sure I can talk about being a woman better than any man can.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

@LooseLeafLuci @SEAConsv @AidanCTweets Trans women don’t suffer misogyny, although some claim to experience it because they think it’s proof they’re women. Trans-identified men do experience prejudice, but that stems from some people’s dislike of effeminate/fetishistic men. Such prejudice is not misogyny.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

@LooseLeafLuci @SEAConsv @AidanCTweets No trans-identified man experiences misogyny, which, by definition, is hatred of females. Trans-identified men may experience prejudice due to perceived effeminacy or for assumed deviance, but that isn’t misogyny.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

@LooseLeafLuci @SEAConsv @AidanCTweets It’s irrelevant whether she has a rare disorder of sexual development or chooses not to have children. Her body is still observably organised to produce eggs, not sperm. A woman is a human being whose body is geared towards producing large, not small, gametes.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

@LooseLeafLuci @SEAConsv @AidanCTweets She has a female body - a body organised to produce large gametes - something no man, trans-identified or not, can ever experience. She lives life while inhabiting a female body. That’s all there is to it.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

I’m reliably informed that this is something that simply never happens. And if it happens, it’s incredibly rare. And even if it wasn’t rare, only nasty people would make these men sad by telling them they’re not women. What’s that you say? Women are being robbed? You bigot.

I know you find this hard to grasp, but women and girls aren’t validation props, comfort animals or bit-part players in male cosplays.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Being excluded from spaces where women and girls are undressing does not mean men are forced to live in a cupboard under the stairs. You appear to believe you own me. I got myself where I am and paid my bills with my earnings, you insufferable, entitled prick. https://t.co/oTTGqLtIjf

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Men who choose to publicly ridicule the idea that there's any harm in women being forced to compete against men, or being imprisoned with males, or losing single-sex spaces, have ripped their credibility to shreds. If they'll lie about this, they'll lie about absolutely anything.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

I understand why men like Oliver, who've consistently mocked anti-science people on the right, sold out initially. They didn't want to blow up their careers. Taking fashionable anti-women's rights positions was the cost of doing business. But it's time to read the fucking room.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

I feel nothing but sympathy for some of those who kept silent while the gender wars raged around them. I’ve had literally thousands of emails on this subject and some of the most desperate have been from people who risk their livelihoods and face persecution and harassment if they speak up. That said, I have zero sympathy for academics who did nothing to prevent illiberal and authoritarian activism stifling debate, freedom of speech and academic enquiry at their place of work. Defending those values is fundamental to academic life and you didn’t just fall short, you disgraced yourselves. Your inaction and cowardice enabled a campaign of persecution against one of your own that shamed @SussexUni. There are times in life where we are confronted by clear moral choices, when there is no middle route. Either you stand up for freedom of speech and belief - yes, even up to the point of causing offence - or you bow down to a totalitarian culture that relies on intimidation and threats to sustain itself. It’s deeply depressing to think that a university requires a punitive fine to make it wake up to the fact that it’s abandoned basic liberal values, but the OfS has at last drawn a much needed line in the sand. I wouldn’t bet against more monster fines to come, though. The University of Sussex is far from the only institute of learning where a culture of fear has been allowed to flourish.

The Dame, who is definitely not a parody, whatever haters say, pursues an online vendetta against me, though she likes to pretend the size twelve neon pink pump is on the other foot.

The left across the west needs to return to sanity and reality with regard to sex-based rights and safeguarding. The choice is between pandering to gender activists or listening to voters’ well-founded concerns. Sticking with the former will just hand the right more easy wins.
