JK Rowling 'profoundly grateful' for supportive letter over transphobia allegations
The letter shows "solidarity with all the women who're currently speaking up for their own rights," Rowling said. More at sky https://news.sky.com/story/jk-rowlin...snt-sf-twitter Still think shes perfectly entitled to her (not transphobic) opinions without people actually wishing her dead for it.

Nice, it's been uncomfortable seeing her dogpiled for no discernible reason.

Does she deserve death threats? No.
Will I ever read anything written by her or support someone who seems to be filled with such hate towards a community who already are targeted and unfairly treated? No. |

What a wonderful and concise list of irrelevant old TERFs to ignore from this moment on!

I'm always a bit dubious of hate figures who come out and say they've received death threats, the sceptic in me thinks it's nothing more than a publicity stunt to garner sympathy. If someone sent me death threats, I'd pull out the receipts but these people never do.
Does JK Rowling deserve death threats? Nope, but all opinions have consequences and I think she's just trying to curb the negative views of her by garnering sympathy. |

It's one thing saying you believe she has problematic opinions, but hateful? |

...obviously it’s entirely your prerogative to find it ‘interesting’ Oliver...I do sometimes see things like.’can anyone answer’/‘I’m waiting for an answer’ type things etc...and obviously we can all think and overthink about that until our heads find an answer we think we’ll settle on because we have our own ‘input’ into what we think reasons are...But this particular topic...(..as with other topics if applicable..)...it’s very much been prominent with much discussion recently to the point of ‘circles and circles and dead ends and etc..’...so if and when something isn’t responded to...it could also very much be that it’s all been said before and just not having the enthusiasm to keep on saying, etc if nothing new is felt to be created...

...I just can’t imagine what it would feel like to have a death threat...and celebrity fame would create a ‘vulnerability’ as well as a sense of safety, I would think...but just an awful thing to experience...I’m glad that she’s feeling much support and I hope that the people who are making these threats, face the law for their threats ...the irony of what they’re doing..targeting for what they believe to be ‘hating on’...while voicing the most extreme ‘hating on’ themselves...just awful and some hateful Internet comments that can be made by people, which can come in many shapes and sizes...really do need to be focused on much more with the legal system and policing them...

...hmm, I’m not going to comment further, Oliver... other than to say that ‘no’ can’t be applied but interpretation most definitely can be...

Awful hateful woman, I hope people will start avoiding work by all of the people who signed in support of her too.

According to the Bookseller, Troubled Blood has ‘by far’ the biggest single week sale for any Galbrath title, nearly doubling that of its predecessor Lethal White. Last edited by DouglasS; 29-09-2020 at 11:16 AM. |

She's basically of the opinion that women's sex based rights are being affected by some trans "gender" based rights (women's sports being an example) she also object's to the erasure of the word "woman" in women's health information and women's products (sanitary products being an example) apparently that translates to literally killing transpeople
