New York Post ^ | October 6, 2022 | Lee Brown

J.K. Rowling has in-shirt-ed herself into a new transgender controversy.

The outspoken “Harry Potter” author posted a photo of herself Thursday wearing a T-shirt calling a UK politician behind a controversial gender-identity reform a “destroyer of women’s rights.”

Rowling — who has faced death threats over previous comments accused of being transphobic — proudly wore the garment to “stand in solidarity” with protests before a hearing of the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill.

I am surprised she took this strong stand since she is a liberal.

Nicola Sturgeon is one of the most screwed up women out there.
Not even on the same planet as the super talented J K Rowling.

The UK has a Deep State, too.

Sturgeon is Deep State.

My goodness. She certainly has quite a large pair of.... earrings.

And I understand she's worth something around $800M. She's earned it, and come a long way from the single-parent poverty she suffered while writing her first book.

Glad to know she's on the side of sanity.

Nice rack, too.

I think there are plenty of liberals who are privately fed up with the demands of the trans crowd. JK is just one of the few to say so publicly.

The UK has really gone full woke. The Scottish used to be known for their common sense, sober thinking and distain for stupidity. Still it seems any country that is embarrassed about it’s Christian foundations is being turned over to it’s sick desires. Hopefully that sin would become full blown and turn many towards repentance.

England isn’t quite as bad. For some reason the celtic fringe, in particular the separatist nationalists, have gone full blown neo-Marxist and neo-Marxists view the UK as a political concept that encourages conservatism and ‘imperialism’ (70 years since the breakup of the Empire).

That is some comfort. My own Irish Catholic cousins seem woke on climate and gender BS. Soft hearts but even softer heads.
