this trends map picture of a transphobic hashtag is still the funniest thing I've ever seen. sporadic dots here and there meanwhile terf island lit up like it's gone nuclear
this isn't a joke btw, it's the actual reason. I know of multiple people who have looked into suing him and every single one has been advised against it on the basis there will be nothing left after the divorce goes through.
so in the last 24 hours JK Rowling has shared tweets
- calling the rep for trans ppl, AIDS victims and PoC in the pride flag "shit"
- calling trans rights "porn sick mens rights"
- defending neo Nazis at anti-trans rallies
- claiming trans people aren't oppressed
I really hope future biographies note that when the LGBT+ community was mourning the brutal murder of a young trans girl, JK Rowling was busy threatening queer people into silence. she has to be remembered for the heartless monster she is.
JK Rowling has set up a trans exclusionary service who provide "support and advocacy" for sexual assault victims
board members include Rhona Hotchkiss, a prison governor whose prison was condemned by inspectors for the frequent abuse of women prisoners by her staff
a scottish women's charity had an event tonight and it was disrupted by an anti-trans activist
take a look at all of the other women in the room and their reactions. they all look embarrassed or annoyed or both. not one appears supportive
GC support simply doesn't exist offline
been told by someone at parliament that the transphobic activist who flashed her breasts and genitals at children after the reform passed was JK Rowling's friend Elaine Miller aka GussieGrips
UPDATE: Here's the full video of the verbal attack on a Scottish women's charity that JK Rowling has offered to reward
The version JK shared cuts just before the room applauds a woman making a trans inclusive statement while the transphobe is led out ranting about sex offenders

the pictures hilarious on its own but the cherry on top is that it was originally a terf who shared it to so they had lots of support outside of britain
we weren't lying when we tried to tell you, we weren't making it up, we weren't being hyperbolic. this is who she is, it's who she's been for a long time.
a few questions have popped up
no, he doesn't have any significant royalties coming in
no one in their right mind is going to spend thousands for a retraction & apology, that no one who believed him would accept
if you have any other questions please refer to this diagram:
Since Friday we've seen the Scottish prison service announce plans to place every new trans woman prisoner in mens jail's, the brutal murder of a 16 year of trans girl, a billionaire threaten a trans ally into silence, & now Glasgow's only gender clinic is closed to new patients
i cannot adequately express the burning hatred i have for the British media. just absolute scum. every time i think i can't get more disgusted they find new repulsive lows
this particular charity is focused on ending men's violence against women
many of the women in this room have dedicated their lives to ending violence against women
and they're accused of being complicit in rape because they won't abandon that goal & focus on hating trans women
another transphobic amendment defeated to howls from transphobic campaigners in the gallery. "This is not a democracy" one screamed as the result of the vote was read out
okay I'm tapping out of this at least for a bit. why do people hate us? why do they hate us so so much? we're just normal people trying to live our lives. we do not deserve this
the verdict in brianna ghey's murder case was sandwiched between the UK government announcing school guidance more extreme than the most extreme US states & the Scottish Government announcing it would abandon the GRR bill after 7 years. it is so difficult being trans in the UK rn
Here's the rest of the video starting from the point Nicola Sturgeon apologises if her presence led to the disruption
"What we shouldn't do is further stigmatise a group of women who are already too stigmatised"
[The room applauds again]
and if you were wondering, JK Rowling has already offered a reward for this attack on the women supporting the Zero Tolerance charity
she described it as "scenes" because it's all a big fucking game to her
another board member is Susan Smith, who founded Scotland's most prominent anti-trans hate group alongside JK's other pal Magdalen Berns
here she is laughing at Trans Day of Remembrance in a Scottish Parliament committee:
how typical of the anti-trans movement to cut out women applauding/cheering not 1, not 2 but 3 statements of support for trans rights. they don't want women to be heard, they want the transphobic subset to be heard and only them
I don't have 14M followers so RTs are appreciated
I was originally quite worried about posting. Fully trust my source but JK is a litigious bully and she's going to be looking for a trans person to victimise
But it now appears almost certain that JK Rowling's friend committed a sex crime, in parliament, in front of children
how do you debate with this? how do you try to build bridges? you can't. you just can't and I'm sick fed up of being told I'm the problem for not showing enough compassion to this obvious hate movement
jk rowling hasn't had time to condemn the Club Q shooter but she has had time to like this absolutely baffling piece of terf art portraying the LGBT community as violent and in league with Humpty Dumpty for some reason?
The Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill passed. The Scottish Government say it will make life easier for trans people but opponents of the bill say penis penis man penis male penis man penis male bodied penis penis sex offender penis male man penis rape penis get it up ye
HEARTWARMING 🙌🙌
This columnist spent years inciting hatred against the LGBT+ community but back in the early stages of covid lockdown she was dying, it was the LGBT+ community and their allies who stepped up and LITERALLY SAVED HER LIFE 😭🙌
The room, which is full of women working to end VAW and victims of VAW, applauds again when the same speaker says they wanted to make this an environment safe for *all* women
twitter reinstating every far right propagandist is bad obviously but on the plus side glinner's spent the past two days trying to log in every 15 minutes and crying when it says he's still banned
in a new development that can best be described as mental
@jk_rowling
has liked a tweet endorsing this protester *after* she lifted her skirts to reveal just see-through tights & a merkin in the Scottish parliament's public gallery
2704 days after the UK parliament launched the Transgender Equality Inquiry
and
2421 days since every single member of the Scottish parliament was elected promising reform
THE GENDER RECOGNITION REFORM (SCOTLAND) BILL HAS FINALLY PASSED 😭😭😭
get fucked
@jk_rowling
"Where services are available to women only, women are not
required to provide ‘proof’ of their sex. All rape crisis services in Scotland are inclusive of
trans women and have been for 15 years. In those 15 years, there has not been a single
incident of anyone abusing this."
hard to think of something that illustrates the difference in stakes between trans people and gender critical better than the fact we're all terrified of further terrorist attacks against our community and a few weeks ago they were upset at a fucking cartoon alien
trans people had to watch from the sidelines as cis politician after cis politician argued we were a threat to women, a threat to children, a threat to ourselves, a dangerous threat to everyone we came into contact with & we're not even getting reform. absolute joke of a country
@weirdIyspecific
I get you have to be mad at someone on twitter - what other reason is there to have a twitter account besides getting mad - but could you really not find something better to get mad at?
MSP after MSP, hour after hour for two days solid just standing up to smear us, to call us predators, sex offenders, to say accepting us is a threat to women, to girls, to young people, to ourselves. we are just fucking people for fucks sake
I see JK Rowling is complaining about a sign that says "decapitate terfs" on it
Sure would be hypocritical if one of her close friends was an anti-trans activist who made their living selling merchandise with violent messages/imagery on a website JK had promoted to 14m ppl
a trans girl has died BUT DOES SHE DESERVE DIGNITY? That's the big question we're trying to get to the bottom of, we'll be taking YOUR CALLS as we debate this tricky issue again and again and again
if you received a lynx gift set and aren't over the moon... that's gender dysphoria sweetie. a classic case. no cis man would be any less than beside themselves with joy after receiving a lynx gift set
candidates for Scottish first minister so far
- a terf
- an evangelical
- the guy who wanted to make the first explicit mention of non-binary people in UK law a list of all the hate crimes you could do against them
Jeremy Balfour wearing a green, white, purple lanyard
Balfour is a former lobbyist for the Evangelical Alliance & was a director at the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics when they published a report questioning the ethics of rape victims who took the morning after pill
two kids will rot in jail while the politicians, columnists and billionaire children's authors who taught them to hate will carry on inflicting more harm on more trans people. this is not justice
is there anything more quintessentially Lib Dem than choosing trans awareness week to update the code of conduct to permit even the most extreme transphobia as long as there's no swearing or raised voices
I'm closing the replies to prevent gender critical activists from spewing their hatred at women who have committed the heinous crime of not hating trans people
JK Rowling spent the weekend Brianna Ghey was murdered preparing legal threats against a gay man who spoke out against her bigotry
Today, as the murderers are sentenced, she's doing this
she's an absolute monster
a transphobe has cancelled their monthly donation to a cancer charity because they have an FAQ section on website that gives advice on screening to the LGBT+ community (including trans women)
they want us to die and they don't care who suffers in pursuit of that goal
I cancelled my monthly donation to the
@cancersociety
today. I should mention that I had Stage 1B cervical cancer when I was 40. Surgery, radiation and chemo. Resources for women’s health are miserly at best, and I was livid when I read that garbage. I remained calm and civil
the Scottish anti trans movement doesn't care about women, they absolutely despise women who disagree with them
here's one comparing the women supporting the charities trans inclusive stance to Nazis.
rewatching better call saul and I noticed a plot hole. in season 1 episode 6 mike goes into a women's bathroom. this is Impossible because he doesn't have a gender recognition certificate issued by the British government
the audacity of a straight cisgender woman thinking she has any place in deciding what symbols the LGBT+ community can use. the fucking audacity of it man
reminder: for all the outrage about the sign, there has only been one incidence of physical violence breaking out between a gender critical & a trans person in Scotland & it was a GC kicking a trans man in the head before being restrained by stewards
you might think members of the fire brigade deserve respect for running into burning buildings with their hoses but what if instead of spraying water they sprayed petrol? what then?
a wee while back I did some maths on the number of trans kids getting help from NHS England
with the recent draft guidance from NHS England stating parents who go to a private practice should be reported to local child protective services i thought it was worth reposting
@solidsnade
It is concerning that as well as policy makers and changemakers who work with survivors to push for reforms, survivors themselves may very well have been present. To have someone then shouting out and being so aggressive in the manner shown, is far from respectful or acceptable.
im going to keep a track of all the "gender critical" activists who are showing support for or deflecting from the behaviour of the Scottish parliament flasher. please feel free to send examples and I'll add them to the thread
First up, JK Rowling:
in a new development that can best be described as mental
@jk_rowling
has liked a tweet endorsing this protester *after* she lifted her skirts to reveal just see-through tights & a merkin in the Scottish parliament's public gallery
trans activists love to dig out that tweet of Magdalen Berns calling trans women blackface actors and sick fetishistic freaks but they never mention the fact she hasn't made a transphobic post in years
it is incredibly funny that for all Rowling's incessant whinging about being cancelled, the only project of hers that's actually been cancelled wasn't binned as a response to her being the face of a viciously obsessive hate movement but as a result of it being utter dog shite
JK Rowling's Fantastic Beasts franchise is on permanent hiatus — it's essentially cancelled.
There is NO work being done on a further film; no script from JK Rowling, no desire from Warner Bros. to put out another money-losing film and have to deal with JKR's nonstop bigotry...
they spit on our dead and then they expect us to show compassion, to be polite, to be understanding of their concerns all while continuing to spit on our dead
Scottish independence supporters? death eaters. the labour left? death eaters. trans people? oh you better believe they're death eaters.
she has nothing but her heavy handed nazi analogy, it's actually embarrassing.
She really just straight up compared trans people to "Death Eaters", the villains of her books. Even has a little reference to us having to live in the closet
