We need 'rude' women like JK Rowling. The U.S Democrat reckoning shows us why...

JK Rowling is clearly an empty-headed woman, easily “radicalised” by I dunno…looking at YouTube. There she was super successful, loaded and loved until she went AWOL. Who was Terf Zero? That’s what I want to know. Who was the one that got to her and persuaded her to think mad things like ‘Chemically castrating children is a bad thing’ or ‘Biological males should not be in women’s spaces’?

The latest attack on her from Stephen Fry who identifies as clever, is the most recent in a long line of public condemnation from guys who absolutely refuse to engage with any of the arguments around gender issues. Fry described her as “a lost cause” though of course he made a pretty penny narrating the Potter audiobooks. It doesn’t matter whether it is Stephen Fry or Boy George or Alastair Campbell or the fox-bothering Jolyon Maugham or dumbass TV presenters, the ongoing effort to put this woman in her place is an object lesson in vicious misogyny dressed up always as simply caring about trans rights.

Rowling has been called “rude” and “brazen” for her considered arguments and Jolyon who can be trusted to put the boot into any woman who doesn’t kowtow to his increasingly desperate beliefs (let’s hand out puberty blocker like Smarties!) suggested she is “unwell”. Yes of course, reach for the oldest trick in the book: women who say “no” or disagree with you are hysterical and probably mentally ill.
