Master of the written word, J. K. Rowling, shuts down attack from trans activist in 2 words
Twitchy.com ^ | 1/22/2023 | FuzzyChimp

Posted on 01/23/2023 4:20:59 AM PST by NetAddicted

J. K. Rowling is a constant target of radical transgender activists because she refuses to bend the knee to their religious dogma. They believe that ‘trans women are women’ and that said notion should not be open to judgment, while relentlessly judging people like Rowling who believe biology determines sex.

In this case, a transgender person named India Willoughby decided to claim that they were ‘more of a woman than JK Rowling will ever be’, validating one of Rowling’s chief complaints that claims that sex isn’t real erases the lived reality of women across the globe.

Ouch. Dismissed in two words.

Willoughby launched this personal attack at Rowling in reply to another user under a Rowling tweet.

True to form with attention-seeking leftist radicals on Twitter, Willoughby suddenly identified as the victim once Rowling took notice of the insult.

It’s insane that my existence annoys two people on Twitter who between them have a combined Twitter following of 30 million people! That’s nuts, isn’t it? pic.twitter.com/klJO7Swc7P

Twitter users weighed in as well.

Love from India (the country) ❤️ Thanks for making my adolescence so magical 🧙‍♀️✨

— Saarthak (@spiritualghost) January 22, 2023

Love for J. K. Rowling from the real India. LOL.

Thank you, Jo. I really mean it. I remember being utterly captivated by HP from page one of the first book. I was 27, lol, but it was like the first time I read Tolkien. That's the magic you've created and nothing will ever change that.

This is the arrogance of the radical trans activists. They believe their disagreement with Rowling over transgender issues is reason enough to destroy her career with people across the world who love her books.

Say what you want, @IndiaWilloughby, JK just got the W in two words. Don’t mess with writers.

— Bill Dawes (@billdawes) January 23, 2023

Bingo.

No woman would ever say they’re more woman than another woman, that doesn’t even make sense…..

Well …

LOL.

How are you the same person that wrote a book series teaching a generation of us to fight for those that the world sees as less than? I have never been more disappointed to see the true side of someone I once admired than I have with you. You are the bully you taught us to fight. https://t.co/s6N6X5zSsS

— Dani DeVito (@RealDaniDevito) January 23, 2023

There were many comments like this, calling Rowling a bully, because her comeback to someone attempting to bully her was so effective.

I know this is upsetting to some trans people, but India was literally attacking Rowling’s womanhood and identity. @IndiaWilloughby Is just an evil person. https://t.co/4ZgquiwL1p

— MonkaW (@Ulpian94633775) January 22, 2023

Yep, that’s what we saw too.

This is the consistent misogyny I see from those appropriating womanhood. https://t.co/84TUXIxK3S

The Patriarchy – still undefeated. LOL.

I quoted terf because I don’t believe she is a terf. She once supported a woman researcher, who was fired for stating that men can’t change into women. JKR then began to be called terf. She doesn’t believe that pretend women should be granted access to women’s private spaces or sports. She opened a rape crisis center just for women, and with real women doctors, nurses and staff. Trans lunatics call her terf, since that is their swear word, along with other libiots.

Re: unfollowable Twitter threads - I completely agree.They are nearly unreadable and resemble scribblings on a bathroom stall. Three quarters of it is meaningless junk. Even worse are the ones that repeat the tweet complete with headers and signatures two or three times. Then add the text of the article that repeats the same thing. It is bad enough that they are using tweets from random people as new sources.

I supported Rowling's tweet on Twitter this morning as well. Never thought I'd be on the same side as her on something but I found it incredibly creepy and distateful that a male transsexual would post on Twitter that he is "more woman" than an actual woman like J.K. Rowling just because he surgically altered some body parts. With just two words, she put him right back in his place.

For most of my life, I really didn't care if men liked to play dress up and pretend to be women. Or vice versa, but women trying to be men looks even dumber in my opinion. But to each their own.

But these people now claiming that they can have mentrual periods and get pregnant is a bridge too far for me. I cannot take anybody seriously that spouts that nonsense.

They can never be real women and it's time society started putting these transsexuals back in their places.

Trans activists call lesbians transphobic, who don’t want to date a transgender “lesbian” with a penis.

Thank you!

Seems Rowling, who came up with the Harry Potter stories, all highly imaginable, when it comes to reality has her head on straight. She is not fanciful with reality.

The comeback is an overused trope on the childish level of “I know you are, but what am I?”. It can be used in about any situation where one disagrees and a cheap “ mic drop” moment...whether the disagreement is valid or not. And yet, the thing she was responding to was so stupid I guess a cheap response was somehow appropriate. However the response was not worthy of the articles hype.

It’s my own fault for clicking on these FR threads in the first place.
I simply must ignore them as I used to ignore CREVO threads.

“What is twitter?”

It is a place where twits congregate.

Who writes the incomprehensible garbage? Just tell us the “two words.”

They’re quite visible. I don’t know why you can’t see them; I can see them in the tiny screen of my phone. She wrote, “Citation needed.” Which was fairly witty.

Second line: Citation needed.
I gather that on Twitter, citations are often required to prove the truth of a claim.

I certainly have a higher opinion of Rowling than the young actor and actresses who attacked her after her works made them millionaire. Wish Alan Rickman was still kicking to tell em off.

Always reminded of this skit in THE LIFE OF BRIAN in which Stan wants to become a woman named Loretta and have babies.
Facebook will not let me post this link.
