[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.

A mother in Deerfield, Illinois, has revealed that school officials forced young girls to change into their gym clothes in front of a trans-identified male student.

Teachers reportedly monitored the girls so none left the locker room in protest.

For any person who thinks the Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively v Justin Baldoni case is about Hollywood gossip, you are doing yourself a tremendous disservice by not reading through the lawsuits.
This is infinitely worse than the Amber Heard case which was about two lovers scorned and revenge. This is a story about a truly evil couple who used their access to wealth and power and the #metoo movement to destroy a man who had never once offended them and never once defended himself. They tried to isolate him by effectively buying off all of his friends, taking over his movie and staging a cancellation of his entire career all because Ryan Reynolds was jealous, friends with Taylor Swift and he could.
Hollywood execs and the New York Times got in line with an act of sheer cruelty, because they similarly could and/or were unwilling to stand up to friends of Taylor Swift.

Power corrupts, absolutely.

The New York Times should never be trusted ever again. Meghan Twohey, should be forced to give back her bullshit #metoo Pulitzer. She knew exactly what she is doing.

There is no way any of these people involved will be able to wiggle themselves out of what they attempted to execute for the sheer sport of it.

Careers will end, but more importantly, the #metoo movement is now completely over, and will be remembered as little more than another stain in American history.

Pretty chuffed that I called it straight away.Since Aug she made such a mockery of the topic of DV which required elegant handling.
Not seeing the director during promotion set MY antennas up. I knew she was the initiator & not the victim. I knew it in my bones.

[Shubhani Oberai Talwar @FlamingoByST]

Before you show #JustinBaldoni texts of August where he conspires, I want texts of #Blakelively to her team for not doing the promotions w the director of the film.
You brought the fight to the table #BlakeLively.
If he chose the armour up, why not.

[Sophie Ross Brooks @sophrossbrooks]

Justin Baldoni’s PR could certainly be spinning things (truly I don’t doubt it) but let’s be clear here that Blake Lively said THIS!!!!! entirely!!!! on her own!!!! https://t.co/dQj81DzI2X

Donald Trump's plan to stop the chemical, physical and emotional mutilation of America's youth.

1. "Revoke Joe Biden's cruel policies on so-called gender-affirming care."

2. "Sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of s*x and gender transition at any age."

3. "Ask Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these procedures and pass a law prohibiting child s*xual mutilation in all 50 states."

4. "Declare that any hospital or healthcare provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare and will be terminated from the program immediately."

5. "Support the creation of a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children."

6. "The DOJ will investigate big pharma and the big hospital networks to determine whether they have deliberately covered up horrific long-term side effects of s*x transitions in order to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients."

7. "Investigate whether big pharma or others have illegally marketed hormones and puberty blockers, which are in no way licensed or approved for this use."

8. "Inform states and school districts that if any teacher or school official suggests to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body, they will be faced with severe consequences."

9. "Promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers, and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique."

10. "Ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female, and they are assigned at birth."

11. "Protect the rights of parents from being forced to allow their minor child to assume a gender which is new and an identity without the parent's consent."

Hello Tarun Tahiliani!
I have seen better Sarees sold in Mumbai streets for Rs.200 than these ceremonial uniforms you’ve ‘designed’.
Cheap polyester like fabric, Ikat PRINT (!!!), tricolors thrown together with no imagination
Did you outsource it to an intern or come up with it in the last 3 minutes before the deadline?
Such a disgrace to the rich weaving culture and history of India.
