My admiration for this woman keeps growing

So glad she's not giving up the fight against the madness.

Just saw posted on GETTR some good news from France https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1500024306129989633.html (in French and English)

Good news indeed. Thanks for posting

Rowling has impeccable timing . When she speaks she achieves so much and also shines a light on those who remain silent despite their public profiles/opinions on fucking everything eg the Stephen Frys of this world . I'd love to see her focus on Mr Midwhal and Edinburgh RC .

I admire JKR so much for so much. All she's done, all she's doing and the example she sets. And not least the way she deals with all the hate from the witchfinders general & their anime adherents.

This was in my twitter feed today:

"At this point a visible Harry Potter tattoo should be met with the same degree of revulsion as a Swastika" (@matthewgoldin 4/3)

43.7K likes! Yikes . . . that's scary.

The immature idiot writes comedy for SNL.

Oh, and Shona Robison is a tool. Sturgeon is pure undiluted disaster. If you're not-TRA that is.

I hope the voters boot them out - and then from Arthur's Seat to Land's End!

She is absolutely playing a blinder. Think of her like a mix of Aslan and our General

She spent World Book Day retweeting photos sent in by parents of their kids dressing up as HP characters. Her charity Lumos is working for disabled kids in Ukraine.

And TRAs are attacking her.

Sounds a bit "masonic handshake-like". At some point the underground swell will need to break out into the open and show its superior numerical strength, because part of the great absurdity of this phenomenon is that in reality it is a fairly small minority of dupes who are calling the shots for a solid majority of sceptics, which can only happen because the sceptics either are afraid or don't feel bothered because it doesn't directly impinge on them. But it will one day if the cult is allowed to grow undisturbed. I know I'm speaking from a fairly privileged position being virtually uncancellable (don't have nor want a Twitter account and couldn't care less if I got thrown off Facebook), but in a sense I think trans "rights" (read privileges) affect us all in the long run insofar as they exalt a practice of founding social mores and legalities on lies and deceptions instead of truth in its plainest and simplest form. That must be the next phase I feel that we just come out speaking plain truth to the discombobulating autocratic powers of the new liberal repression (amazing it's become possible to conjoin those two words in a phrase) movement. As Matt Walsh did on the Dr Phil farce to those two wallys. He just kept asking "What is a woman?" until they were tied in knots by their own evasive manoevres. JKR does much the same. No need to be aggressive, abusive, offensive or defensive - just keep asking the simple questions and presenting the plain unwrapped truth in its glory. Say unequivocally "I'm a fan of JK Rowling" (although I can't comment on Harry Potter because I've never read it.)

I can't help thinking that heterosexuals as a whole will end up in the gender-cultists' cross-hairs too, eventually; it's only a matter of time. Because they're opposed to the very concept of sexual orientation. What with it being based on biological sex rather than "gender" (your own + that of those to whom you're attracted = your sexual orientation)-- that's heresy to the Church of T! Gender must ALWAYS cancel out sex. Otherwise, how can a man claim to be a woman, or vice-versa? How can straight people claim gayness, and thereby portray actual gay people's lack of sexual attraction to them as bigotry? So NOBODY'S sexual orientation can be allowed to stand... well, except for that of the trans peeps, of course. Cuz "muh dysphoria!", yanno (somehow).
