That part in A Friend, a Murderer where Philip asks Nicklass to send a photo of him with his baby daughter… I’m sorry but that was beyond disturbing.
It gave me such a dark vibe, like why would you even want that? It felt completely inappropriate and honestly made my skin crawl.

I’m getting married soon. Everyone sees the joy, the dress, the celebration. But my heart will quietly be looking for my mum in a room she won't be in. I miss you mum..

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.

Long live the Prince of Darkness.
You may be gone, but your scream will echo forever.

I'm in total shock that Ozzy Osbourne passed away man.. I said I wouldn't drink today

[Oh well @LostAlien404]

I'm heartbroken. Jiggly Caliente always made me laugh and brought so much light to the world. Hearing about her passing was such a shock. She deserved nothing but love and joy. Rest easy, queen, you’ll never be forgotten

Tyra Sanchez is desperate for relevance and doesn't care how low she has to go to get it. Stop giving her the attention she’s begging for. Let her rot in irrelevance.

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

A woman is not a costume. A woman is not a feeling. A woman is a biological fact.

Finally, a court in the UK said it.

[Laurence Fox @LozzaFox]

You’re a man.

You can pretend to be a woman if you like.

No one cares. Live and let live.

But we are not going to be forced to participate in your delusion anymore.

I actually love her

[Nick Woltemade’s Uncle @henningwehn]

How it needed a judge to say a man is a man and a woman is a woman is just bizarre..

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The fact that so many UK trans activists are shrieking about injustice says it all. You never had the rights you claim you've now lost; you had demands. Your sense of entitlement grew unchecked because cowards and idiots bowed down to your campaign of intimidation. No longer. 2/2

[Zachary Elliott @zaelefty]

Defining “woman” through biology is not regressive. It’s scientifically accurate.

What’s regressive is thinking women can be reduced to culturally-defined roles, stereotypes, caricatures, and feelings.

[Oh well @LostAlien404]

People want to see diverse stories. We’d love to explore new cultures, new heroes, new worlds. That’s how you build true inclusivity. But studios keep recycling old movies into lifeless live actions watering them down instead of dreaming something bold and new.

[Oh well @LostAlien404]

Faithful casting isnt exclusion, its respect for the text. Snape, with his sallow skin and hooked nose, wasnt meant to be reinvented. True inclusivity lies in expansion not revision. Create new characters, new lore. Give us the Marauders not a mismatched remake #hbo #HarryPotter

[Oh well @LostAlien404]

Disney’s doing it too, recasting classics under the guise of inclusivity, while stripping them of their soul. Not every story needs a live action remake. Want diversity? Don’t repaint the old create the new. Fresh worlds, fresh faces, real representation

[moneybaggdough @ayooooomooo]

So learn to adapt????? Women cannot go back to having no rights to assuage the egos of men. We are not your punching bags or servants. Parent your boys and mentor the men in your lives because we will no longer be a rehabilitation center for these psychos.

[Sav! @thisissavvy1]

No. A period is the shedding of the uterine lining. That’s it. It is day one of your menstrual cycle. You’re a woman; you should know this. Menstruation requires at least one ovary and a uterus. If you don’t have that, then you don’t get a period; it’s just mood swings and IBS.

Symptoms don’t make a period. Symptoms vary from woman to woman, but we all bleed flesh and blood if we don’t get pregnant. If I have a headache, does that mean my migraine is the same thing as a brain tumor? Of course not. Similar symptoms don’t always mean two bodies are doing the same thing. Progesterone and estrogen naturally dropping to clean out the uterus isn't the same thing as a self-induced male hormone imbalance.

If trans people want to validate their intestinal cramps and mood swings instead of treating it like the MEDICAL PROBLEM it is, then they need to find a name for it. “Period” is already taken.
