This is deliciously funny. I think Margaret is about to peak, she's so close.....come on Margaret, you can do it!!!! Margaret, you literally said the same thing as JKR's first "Menstruator Tweet". You are literally a TERF now for non compliance to gender ideology. Welcome....

The condescending finger wagging always makes me chuckle when one of their own dares to question the consensus.

The "delete this, babe" and "do better" tweets are the best 😁

Cults don't do grey areas; you're either totally compliant or you're a heretic/suppressive person. By politely asking others to consider an opinion, Atwood might as well have tattooed "terf" on her forehead.

Laurie is still undertaking her sack-cloth-and-ashes performance for her 10th October mis-speak. ("Listening to both sides of the argument" - naughty naughty, Laurie!)

So she throws out a TRA/MRA tweet every few days to keep the mob at bay.

They'll savage her in the end, regardless.

The TRA/MRA are insatiable.

"Now watch her pretend she doesn’t notice what’s happening with Atwood."

Just like she didn't notice the schoolgirl who was raped by a schoolboy-in-a-skirt in Loudon County VA. But then which TRA did? They have highly-vocal opinions on every gender-based news event but miraculously all managed to not notice that one..?

Since Margaret “but barramundi!” Atwood has been wilfully ignorant for the last few years to the dystopian reality we are currently living in (considering what she’s famous for) I hold out little hope she’ll see through the next 12 hours before making a ‘sincere’ apology and a promise to educate herself further.

All the comments saying “ugh. Not you too!” Insinuating droves of influential women have been brave enough to speak up are making me lol. Twats.

I love when these dumb TRA women get totally monstered by the community they threw all their delusional chips in with. Now what were we saying, Margaret and Laurie?

I saw this. Unbelievable that she was so critical at first. Peak- trans? Or not quite yet?

This is GREAT! They're dragging Atwood . . . that is going to peak a LOT of people! And if they peak Atwood herself, that would be a huge step forward! I've always said we need an Atwood to write a Handmaid's Tale for our time, where TiMs have erased women . . .

And "the Alliance of Openly Misogynistic Bearded Leftwing Men"--you deserve an award for that turn of phrase!

I hope the told-you-so mob sit back and let the blueys do their job to peak Ms Atwood.

"Amanda Jette Knox, there, taking a break from ‘discovering’ that another one of her kids is trans."

Ah sounds like she is trying to get down with the kids "nonbinary and a women"!!! Oh just stop it you're a mature women.

"I’m nonbinary. I also menstruate and gave birth to 3 kids. Saying “people with periods” includes women AND me."

I don’t know about you, but I IMMEDIATELY accepted “disingenuous old birdshit” into my universe, to use as my twitland bio “pronouns”. And I feel fabulous about this. 😁😁😁 Hoping this will become “a thing”.

Margaret Atwood is such a disappointment. I had a brief moment of hope this morning when I saw her original tweet. What was she thinking would happen? She is an 81 year old wealthy white woman intellectual. I was hoping she had decided she didn't have any fucks left for the gender woke crowd, but then she backtracked, and pathetically so. I give up. She's not and never will be #TeamTERF.

Does she not know that simply saying someone is 'not a terf' immediately makes HER a terf? At any rate, this should be good. TRAs are about to give her the Alison Moyet treatment.

They are so awfully condescending.

Transactivists love the word 'literally'. This is literally my favourite Horrible Histories song: The Viking Song: Literally. It may provide a few minutes entertainment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qSkaAwKMD4
