JK Rowling’s fans have made this point.
Dolly Parton used her wealth to provide free books for children to inspire a love of reading.
JK Rowling sold her books (and licensed them for films, merch, theme parks etc.) to massively increase her wealth.
Not at all the same.
@andysayshi1 What does Dolly selling her music have to do with encouraging children to read? A ridiculous argument.
Rowling’s donations are commendable, sure, but again have little to do with encouraging children to read.
@DreyfusJames@Glinner And look at you both now.
Both washed up, always on Twitter drunk tweeting about your obsession with trans people and can’t pay you bills.
Sad what you’ve become. But it is of your own doing.
The SC ruling only affected the Equality Act by removing the possibility for trans people to use it as a basis for suing for sex discrimination if they are banned from a facility corresponding to their chose gender.
It does not affect which people an operator chooses to allow to use which facilities. That is not regulated by the Equality Act.
When you read cringey stuff like this, you really get why young people, who more know her for her current online persona, think this way.
(Also, comparing herself to a convicted rapist is quite the choice.)
Mumsnet are raging cos companies are making toilets mixed sex according to EHRC guidance.
We told transphobes this would happen cos these companies will do the easiest & cheapest thing cos they don't give a shit about policing toilets.
You played yourselves.
GCSE results are ranked. Maths has a pass rate of 67% for the crucial level 4+. 33% of students will be made to fail. If more pupils pass in your school it just means the pupils who fail will be in other schools.
Under the current system there is no way to get 100% of pupils to pass maths and no way to get all schools to be good.
@PhilipSwallow2 I'm not against online anonymity but you'd agree that you would be more convincing if i could verify your claims right? A lot of the strength of your position are your credentials and that's why you asserted them i assume
JK Rowling supporters: "JK Rowling has never been hateful towards trans people, she's just protecting women uwu"
JK Rowling: "Trans people are would-be axe murderers and don't need legal protections"
JK Rowling is putting Harry Potter money into a pot for suing the NHS while it’s underfunded and people wait on waiting lists for cancer diagnoses and heart surgeries.
On 8 August she posted: “Then the lawsuits will keep coming”
That’s a public offer to bankroll legal action against the NHS
Next time you’re told it’ll be months before you can get help on the NHS, remember JK Rowling. And remember she was putting out public messages funding legal cases against them while you waited to get your cancer diagnosis or your heart surgery.
@Martina@NetflixAndPhil_ And how have their lives any better by this? When many women are still being raped, with a man found liable for sexual assault, whom Rowling is comfortable choosing to side with because they share the same opinion? When trans people aren't inherently a threat? She's done nothing!
@Martina@NetflixAndPhil_ Her admirers like Andrew Tate & Nigel Farage are obviously doing it for women too - maybe she and Tate could be on the cover of Cosmo together as 2 British feminist icons.
