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…..

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 didn’t realize that the tweet to which JK Rowling replied wasn’t copied. It said, “I’m more of a woman than JK Rowling will ever be.” Utter BS.

Better late than never.

Would you rather she enthusiastically supported the trans insanity?

BTW, for anyone else curious, TERF is an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

IOW, a feminist who doesn’t think what her Deep State masters tell her to think.

Since I never bought any of her books, I don't care what her position is on any subject {contrary to babylon's position on Freepers not caring but spouting off about a subject}.

Regardless of pathetic leftist narratives, none of us are compelled to participate in radical leftist delusions. They are to be discarded as so much execrable filth, which is an utterly appropriate description for the left.

HAHA, that’s pretty good!

After never having considered myself a feminist at all in any way, I do now consider myself a TERF. In fact, I’m ready to buy a t-shirt!

Rowling is very brave. And she has plainly said that she’s standing up in part on behalf of other who don’t have the resources to resist that she does.

Since I find *Twitter threads* impossible to follow, I’d be more interested in what the “two words” were.

They are trying to reduce a Woman to just a feeling.

I hate this Twitter nonsense.

Can’t anyone use quotation marks, at least? Maybe some indentation? Good God.

Your post is confusing to me.

Are you saying YOU support TERF?

Are you saying that YOU support TERF and J.K. Rowling?

Are you saying that J.K. Rowling supports TERF?

The use of quotes around only TERF makes it impossible to figure out your intent. Adding to my confusion is the fact that I had no idea what TERF meant. So I looked it up.

“The term ‘TERF’ is an acronym meaning Transgender Exclusionary Radical Feminist, and it was initially coined by a feminist blogger named Viv Smythe around 2008. Smythe used the phrase to describe a subgroup of radical feminists that didn’t view trans women’s rights equally to the rest of women’s rights in the feminist movement.”

So, breaking it down, if Rowling said she supports TERF, it simply, means she supports the idea that a subgroup of “radical feminists” profess...that transwomen aren’t women. It does not necessarily mean that she IS a TERF.

But I still have no idea is you are supporting Rowling or claiming that you support her for supporting TERF.

And just so it’s clear I’m not trying to trap you or something, I’ll say up front that, based on the above, I support Rowling for believing that trans women aren’t women, or at least believes that trans women’s rights aren’t equal to the rest of women’s rights.

Honestly, what are the two words? This article doesn’t seem to list them or isn’t very clear to me what they are. I would expect to see the two words with quotations around them.

What are the ‘two words’?

TERF is basically “A woman who believes men can’t be women”

How is it that feminists are not outraged (OUTRAGED!!!) at men misappropriating womanhood.
