But will she continue bitching about it like Jordan Peterson still does about the law in Canada that he didn't get arrested for supposedly violating?
She did send Harry Potter into the ladies toilet though 🤔
She also said she created Harry because she wanted to be a boy.
If She is not against transgender men. Then she may want everyone to be a boy.

“I was supposed to be a boy,” she notes in A Year in the Life, a 2007 documentary
Oh my goodness, that’s a tragic tale that explains so much. Back story really does make a difference in perspective, but she’s still a massive anal fissure of a person for alienating others and perpetuating the suffering she was passed.
Yeah if the most dramatic interpretation of all that is true, and I’m not saying it is, it’s not an excuse. A lot of the worst things done at anti gay conversion groups are done by people who objectively experience significant same gender attraction. That doesn’t absolve the straight people who taught them to hate themselves but their self hate manifests as torturing those who don’t hate themselves. It’s still evil to torture them no matter why you do it.
Oh, it's the trans version of being gay is a choice i guess...
Would explain a lot, because to most transppl the thought of someone wanting to be what they were assigned at birth makes no sense whatsoever. But regardless it's not hard to accept that others might feel like you do but in reverse. Shows one hell of a lack of empathy to then conclude that must mean anyone claiming they do want to must have ulterior motives.
Maybe that at least means there's hope for her to realize what kind of bs she's spouting, but she's probably a lost cause.
Misinterpreted the law and went on a campaign about how he'd protest it and go on some sort of hunger strike like a martyr. Everyone that platformed him during that time owes everyone an apology.
100%
So many bigots suffer from perpetual victimhood.
A law is a strong as its enforcement. Without enforcement, it's just political posturing.
What makes laws strong is precedent and this law doesn't have any. Her case is too flimsy and we don't want her to set precedent since she has infinite lawyers to defend her. Its better to get more solid cases first and then go after her when there is solid precedent.
Bingo. Just wanted to thank you for saying this

Hilarious that this wretched lump of hate is being a crybully about how she’s supposedly putting herself in legal danger, even though she sends legal threats to people in the UK who call her a TERF. And I do mean people posting shit on Twitter, not newspapers publishing stories about her. “Free speech” (the right to incite hatred against minorities) for me but not for thee.
She sends legal threats to people who write books about child wizards going to wizard school.
She wants to invent news laws to push on others and make herself a martyr against one that already exists.
Does she think there weren't wizard school books until she had the idea of one???
Apparently.
She knows there were some, if I'm not mistaken, she admits she was directly inspired by one. I guess she just wants more money and power over people.
Why would she object to being a TERF? Isn't she pretty open about her beliefs?
TERFs love to play this game where TERF is actually a misogynistic slur, even when it completely accurately describes their bigotry. It reframes them as victims of misogyny instead of bigots.
Do they pretend that they don't hate trans women? Is this like the "I'm not racist, but..." people?
No. They pretend that acknowledging trans women erases womanhood itself and is the ultimate mysogyny.
Depends on the audience, very often they will pay lip service to the idea that trans people shouldn’t be criminalized out of existence, and then with a more fashy audience just start goose stepping and talking about all the ways trans people should be criminalized out of existence. Even JKR has done that song and dance, saying that “if trans people were oppressed” she would march for them. 🙄
Do they pretend that they don’t hate trans women?
Rowling has done that, yeah.
She's literally said that she'd march with trans people if our rights were under attack, whilst attacking our rights.
She’d rather be remembered as the biggest FART in history.
Fascism-Affinitized-Radical-Transphobe?
The laws don’t apply to rich people
The tweet makes it plainly obvious where she stands regarding trans people. Disgusting.
Im ashamed to admit that I thought the previous allegations against her were wrong and only based on maliciously misinterpreted tweets.
Yeah, two years ago I was kinda not sure what the issue was not actually following the thing too closely. Then I watched Shaun's video essay on YouTube, discussed with some trans friends about the issue and started checking her twitter.
She literally only tweets about trans people all day every day and often insinuates they are rapists/pedo etc.
She's crazy.
Notice how they said
Not assessed to be criminal
And not
Assesed to be not criminal
Scottish Cops are still Cops I guess
This TERF needs to just accept that she's not relevant anymore. She is just a washed up, miserable person and not even her bottomless wallet can bring her happiness.
You say this yet people keep throwing money at her. Studios and HP fans alike.
She is still unfortunately relevant to a huge swath of people
That’s why I sail the seven sees, especially if it’s about content she might get royalties from.
But also, there hasn’t been anything good since the first fantastic beasts movie…
Also also, I made harry potter themed fuck JK pins, so a few lgbtq friends of mine could still wear their hp merch without endorsing her.
Now have a poor person say the exact same shit and report that
She should really check on the other laws to see if they’ll be enforced, too.
So the new law is not enforce? or is it only for the plebs?
TL;Dr like everything else TERFs whine about the law doesn't mean what they think it means
Sorry but is free speech dead or something? If this constitutes a crime then I have no hope for the human race anymore!
If you are popular person you must keep in mind that your words could ruin someone's life. She cherry picks people here that "changed" gender to avoid man prison but in reality those are outliers. In the process, she is putting negative light on a whole group of people. This is similar to what politicians do to manipulate groups of people for votes
Arrest her anyway, call it the Rowling challenge.
This is literally not news. It's literally not something happening.
On a side note, what is with all those fake, AI generated, car ads down at the bottom?
"I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
This whole law is absurd and draconian.
