You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
A man (Samantha Tempest, here abbreviated to ST) is arguing in court that he belongs in a group for menopausal women. It is pointed out to him that menopause is the cessation of ovulation and that, being a man who never started, let alone ceased, ovulating he does not belong in such a group. He disagrees. He says he's had 'menopausal symptoms' like hot flushes and brain fog. This is like me claiming to have been in the army because I once shot an air rifle and quite like khaki.
@RoyalFamily Thank you for celebrating @jk_rowling and all her unmatched achievements - so many children were magicked into readers thanks to her works.
@jk_rowling@damekatydenise_ This is so funny to see in my timeline next to the photo of you with the queen! Congratulations btw - you look wonderful and it’s so great to see reading being celebrated. A whole generation of readers was gained thanks to you (Jo, not Katy)
📕 With a shared passion for books and a deep commitment to children reading for pleasure, The Queen and author J.K. Rowling have met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations.
I was asked today if I’d like to know my unborn baby’s gender and I replied “yes please, I would like to know the *sex*.” @jk_rowling hoped you’d be proud.
25 years ago today, I saw Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in a bookstore (Waterstones, Prince's Street, Edinburgh) for the very first time. It was one of the best moments of my life. Thank you, @BloomsburyBooks, for taking a chance on a total unknown. 1/2
@miroirdufou@jk_rowling Miroirdufou - how do you personally distinguish between trans women and cis men claiming to be a trans woman (for predatory reasons or otherwise)?
@LoinDuTribu An hour ago I finished writing a chapter of my latest book and now I'm having a drink while simultaneously watching football and men on Twitter throw tantrums because I've made more money than they have. Honestly, if life has more to offer, I don't want it.
