This reads like a defense strategy but is really a declaration of war. Against whom? Most explicitly the trans movement but also against men broadly, I fear. In that respect, it takes us backwards to a sex war by excluding ‘good’ men who are not homosexual from its terms of reference. Good men are the 80% or more who do not abuse women but refuse to adopt gay mannerisms in order to curry favor among them. So this is a re-entrenchment of radical feminist positions. JKR may well be reviving old battles whilst appearing to settle newer ones. It shows no awareness of changes which have impacted men. All very disappointing as we try to work free from one authoritarian mindset and look to find new bridges and solutions.
For any of us who survived AIDS era, we know importance of allies, WHOEVER they are. Fonda said last century feminism must INCLUDE men & boys if it is to succeed, rather than reactionary I don't think you're as evolved as you think you are, if you read Rowling you'd know she's about biology, the reality of sex & protecting women & children, who are still annually assaulted in horrendous #s, U.K. alone. This is about uplifting, not divide & conquer, Rowling has successfully supported multiple individual cases which I assume inspired her to make her resources more widely available. To paraphrase Cole Porter, who want$ 2 b a billionaire?
Nonsense. 🌈 Lesbians have been trying to secure women only dyke bars since the last century, now RTA frequently misogynist #terfisaslur. Some flags were incl. leather, that's lifestyle fetish, NOT human rights.
Great question. We will find out and get back to you. I think there was some issue with others being able to donate to the fund but I could have my wires crossed.
Sure wish we had someone like her here in the States. If we could catch Musk‘s attention and help him understand that now that we have the legal framework and the regulatory backing, all we need is money for lots and lots of lawyers. And we will utterly defeat the trans cult dominating the blue states.
It's excellent that she's done this. I had a feeling she would after finding out she helped Julie Bindel.

JKR has shown what courage really is when everyone else let the women (including women themselves) down. Applause 🙏
What a woman. Unflinching, uncompromising, courageous. Thank goodness we have her.
She’s truly such an inspirational woman! She’s a hero the world over.
Lgb group..you’re missing a few letters yes?
Ah, inclusion for some but not all-I gotcha.

You've answered every question I had about JKRWF except for one - is it entirely financed by herself, or are we allowed to donate to the fund?
Great question. We will find out and get back to you. I think there was some issue with others being able to donate to the fund but I could have my wires crossed.
She posted recently her women's shelter is entirely supported by her after someone inquired about donations from dubious sources.
Thanks!

Thank you JK Rowling!
What a heroine. Oh my goodness. Thank you, JKR!

He's made himself clear on the subject of his estranged trans daughter.
