Rowling dismisses Watson as 'ignorant' over trans rights row

Poor headline imo: the very best line in Rowling's entire message is how Watson is "ignorant of how ignorant she is."

Loving the meltdown on Bluesky over it. There's nothing that drives men mad quite like a woman's laugh. Angela Carter wrote about this.

Cambridge students launch single-sex Society for Women

Quote:

Thea is the survivor of a serious sexual assault*. She spent a lot of time as a teenager working with the police to locate, charge and convict her assailant, who was eventually sentenced to eight years in prison. Her peer group at Christ’s knew this. When she returned to Cambridge after the Joyce/Bindel event, her neighbour in halls spotted Thea’s recent purchases [of Helen Joyce’s Trans, Kathleen Stock’s Material Girls and Trouble with Gender by Alex Byrne. The neighbour decided to tell as many people in college as possible. Thea was soon confronted by another student who demanded to know if she was a TERF, citing Thea’s ownership of the three books as evidence. Thea called her neighbour and asked what she had been saying. The response was uncompromising. “She was clear that she thought I deserved total ostracism for holding gender-critical beliefs” said Thea, “I countered that I had no hurtful views on trans people and had never expressed any hostility towards them or caused them any harm. She began to cackle and in a mocking tone wished me ‘the best night ever’. It was evident from what she said and the way that she spoke that she was enjoying deliberately spreading allegations calculated to cause me maximum social damage and distress.”
