It has come to my notice (I'm a continent away) that Nicola Sturgeon has again claimed I'm obsessed with her. This is, of course, true. I hereby repost my adoring review of her magnum opus, in which I attempted to convey the full magnificence of La Sturge.

You think you've heard batshit fucking crazy before? Just you wait, gang. Just you wait.

I’ve just seen a post from yet another man who thinks my position has shifted since I wrote my 2020 essay about gender identity ideology and the consequent clash of rights https://t.co/pasxBD1Hzl

For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by every word I wrote then. For instance: ‘woman isn’t a costume.’ If it surprises you that I say men don’t become women by wearing make up and dresses, you didn’t understand the essay. I’ve been crystal clear all along that I believe people are free to live and present themselves as the opposite sex if that’s what feels comfortable and authentic TO THEM. This appears to have been interpreted (most often, tellingly, by men) as ‘and it naturally follows that I, as a woman, will validate a man’s belief that he is now, to all intents and purposes, the same sex as me, and I will use only the speech he deems appropriate and will be very careful to protect his sensitive ego, no matter the cost to myself in pretending to believe a falsehood, or the loss of my own rights due to this pretence.’

Dress as you like within normal bounds of situational decency, wear lipstick, sequins and a beard if you want, call yourself whatever you like, have sex with any consenting adult you please: I wish you health, happiness and safety. What you don’t get is the power to compel my speech and belief.

When I call a man a man, I am speaking verifiable truth. It is essential to be able to accurately name sex when discussing fair sport, facilities and services for women and girls and the right of gay people not to be demonised for their same-sex attraction. In years to come, a lot of useful idiots are going to awake to the fact that they’ve been complicit in enormous harm done to women, girls, gay people who stood against the insanity, and some extremely vulnerable young people. I don’t doubt we’ll hear a lot of, ‘I thought I was just being kind.’ Such individuals, especially those in positions of power, should be asked why they never had anything to say about the loud, public, widespread unkindness directed against those who refused to adopt their fashionable, elitist beliefs, eg, the detransitioners being bullied and vilified by former ‘allies’, the whistleblowers who tried to stop an unregulated experiment on troubled children, the women who lost their careers and livelihoods by standing up for all women’s rights.

Some people appear to believe it a worse crime for a woman to call a man a man than for trans activists to call loudly and publicly for the assault and assassination of all women who refuse to bend the knee. I have never wished violence or any other kind of harm on a trans-identified person, but, like many other people who’ve defended women’s and girls’ rights over the past few years, I have received thousands of threats of death, rape and torture. The wilful blindness of those who bleat ‘both sides’ will rightly be judged harshly in times to come.

TL;DR Trans women aren’t women, and if that hurts your feelings, be grateful you live in a society where you are just as free to espouse gender ideology as I am to speak the truth. As Orwell said: ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.’

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

A pantomine horse isn’t a horse.
An open secret isn’t a secret.
A hot dog isn’t a dog.
A shrinking violet isn’t a violet.
Crow’s feet aren’t feet.
Fair game’s not a game.
Trans women aren’t women.

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

“No debate” is a cop out. All legal rights are up for debate – all the more so where there are conflicting rights claims.

Here there’s a conflict between what the law says “trans rights” are and what activists think they should be. Ideally an MP would be able to navigate this.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Trouble is, 'trans' isn't an adjective. 'Trans woman' is a compound noun meaning 'man who wants to be considered a woman.' If the individual being described isn't trans, he's simply a man, whereas a bespectacled woman remains a woman even if she's not wearing glasses.

@WingsScotland Do we have a legal judgment on pronouns specifically yet?

Every lanyard-class clown pushing gender ideology should watch the demise of @AmnestyUK very closely. You’re next! My @MailOnlineScot column: https://t.co/nEDEzi48Bv

For 25 years Pete Wishart has lived the life of Larry as an MP in a Parliament he affects to despise. Not once has he delivered a speech with an iota of the integrity of Davis’s denunciation of Sturgeon. When it comes to snivelling cowards Wishart is in a league of his own. 👇

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

I believe this comes under "karma". I don't think anyone should be getting arrested for merely "offensive" social media posts, but as Mr Herbert and his sweaty little polycule never stop trying to get the rest of us put in jail for offending them, my sympathy is limited.

Another letter to add to @AmnestyUK's overflowing mail box, this one from women-only rape support service, Beira's Place. 1/3

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Gay men's organisations named on the list are welcome to contact me through my website. While the JK Rowling's Fund was set up to support women, JK Rowling herself is more than happy to donate to your legal fighting fund.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. https://t.co/iyohnrgVZN

I was once a major fund-raiser for Amnesty

But in those days it was about preventing torture

Not about sexual identity

I disown them
