Staff at Publishing house Hachette have threatened to quit unless the company cancels its association with JK Rowling and scraps plans to publish her new book because they argue the author is ‘transphobic’.
The Daily Mail reported that “Staff in the children’s department at Hachette announced they were no longer prepared to work on the book” over Rowling’s recent assertions that biological sex is real and that there are only two genders.

Rowlings would be signed by another publisher in about 20 seconds if she were released. If the staff were released, I’m guessing it would take weeks or months for them to land new jobs.
Contemplate the fact that the publisher’s “children’s books” staff are all gender dysphoria activists. Wonder what messaging lurks in their products...
Call their bluff.
"Good for you! I admire a man who adheres to his principles. We're going to miss you."
I’m not sure about that. Some publisher will take her on, but the big ones will be terrified of becoming a target.
So the folks supporting sexual perversion work in the Children’s Department?
Completely not shocked by that.
There’s a reason the Beatles created their own record label. They could.
A small publisher that takes her will become a big publisher.
Just another form of book burning.
umm...no. Big publishing thrives on schoozing...jobs and recommendations are usually by word of mouth or family/social connections...these folks might get blogging jobs, fast food line work, nah, they're overqualified, back to mommy and daddy.
Some at Hachette are going to get the hatchet...
Outsource them like they’ve outsourced IT.
Do Indians really have a strong opinion on this stuff...or do they just want to get paid?
Think of the monetary savings if they only have to pay Indian wages...!
Rowlings books will bring in what 100s of millions/ Billion dollars over a period of time?
Frag them all, and get some people who want to work in there.
If they believe something, then everybody else needs to think the same way. Or else.
Conservatives, on the other hand, just go about their business and don't do business or stop associating with people they don't agree with.
But with liberals, it's all or nothing. I say, let them quit their jobs and the publishing company can hire their replacements who are a little more tolerant about diverse thoughts.
Liberals used to be all about tolerance and diversity. Not it's more like, my way or you're dead.
The staff will find their talents easily replaceable.
The staff should be fired instead for being heterophobic.
New job openings for qualified publishing staff workers.
Seems the French Revolution has gone world-wide.
“In the speech of 8 Thermidor, Robespierre spoke of the existence of internal enemies, conspirators, and calumniators, within the Convention and the governing Committees. He refused to name them, which alarmed the deputies who feared Robespierre was preparing another purge of the Convention.
On the following day, this tension in the Convention allowed Jean-Lambert Tallien, one of the conspirators who Robespierre had in mind in his denunciation, to turn the Convention against Robespierre and decree his arrest. By the end of the next day, Robespierre...was guillotined at the same Place de la Révolution where his enemies King Louis XVI, Georges Danton, and Camille Desmoulins had been executed.”

That’s what she gets for being anti-Trump. No pity here.
JK is getting an introduction to the world she helped to make.
