The JK Rowling hate is the most distressing thing.

She doesn't even want people to stop being trans, to not be true to who they are, etc. She just wants biology to be respected as a safety measure. The hate she gets in return is worse than anything I've ever seen in terms of an individual being a victim of targeted bullying but she is so strong in the face of it. I actually keep meaning to write her a letter of support as I hear she reads them all.
I sent an email and got a reply from her assistant thanking for the support. I read she often reads her emails too.

Look up translegalclinic on Instagram. I’ve just stumbled across it by accident. You can spot the bloke a mile off and wouldn’t suspect he was a woman. Plus the video where he’s dragging the poor little dog alongside him 😂

Saw a right state on the bus today - actually got off the bus early as they were making me uncomfortable

clearly a Teen TIM with short greasy hair a 5pm shadow and no makeup or any sort of “feminising” beauty treatment.

wearing a grotty hoodie and a baseball cap with a mini skirt, knee length socks and “male” trainers.

the worst but was the whole a pink dog collar and lead (like a pets at home one with bone print on! Not like a gothy one!) with a lead attached totheir backpack.

OFC they had pronoun pins all over their backpack with She/her

just parading a fetish in public and I suspect at college too! Gross

Went to the chemist earlier and colour me shocked when I saw the young gay man who works there is taking baby steps to trannism. Hair in a scrunchie, a skirt and a touch of make up. Name changed. But the odd thing is he features huge hands and plates, broad very masculine and looks so ridiculous because he is no ladyboy. Despite this drawing attention he is shy very soft spoken and there is a vulnerability so visible I feel sad for him. My bf was with me and I said "did you clock the tra**" he said yes what a state he looks like a bloke what is his game etc he was really outraged.

I do wonder what will happen when casting is announced for the new Harry Potter. No doubt the TRAs will be hyperfocused on the new actors' socials for any sign of TERFery. Any actors they do hire will probably have to agree not to mention gender etc and just focus on doing the role. I do wonder if it will put actors off applying because they know they will get hate for being associated with JKR. I also wonder if Emma and Daniel will have a meltdown once casting is announced, they will no longer be the beloved child actors, other children will.
If the actors have any sense they'll stay off social media to avoid the inevitable bullying and trolling. Just being in the show will trigger the permanently offended whatever they say and we really don't need another round of mats saying 'trans women are women' and decrying JK.

Frankly if I was JK I'd have it written into their contracts that they couldn't ag her off in the media if they want to keep their jobs, but she's probably too noble to do that.

I think actors will be queuing up to work on that show plus all the background people. JKR will have last word on casting so I think we can safely say Eddie Izzard won't be stealing a woman's role!

He could play all the adult leads. He’s been sooooo fabulous in ‘Great Expectations’ 😂

Irish Tattlers Polls are indicating that Sin Fein will form the next government, probably in a coalition. This is one of their Dublin TDs

This should be a compulsory question in the leaders debates before the next general election. Unfortunately I don't think the other parties are going to give any better answers.

Agreed. Actually, do you remember a time when social media didnt exist and we were blissfully unaware of the opinions of actors?! Those were the days. They’d get on with the show and we could enjoy their work. I think more celebs should go offline to be honest.

Definitely. I don't want to hear their political opinions or their views on climate change etc. They all spout the same old tit and some really show themselves up with their lack of understanding for the general population because they live in a different world to ordinary people.

I guess they think we want to hear their words of wisdom 🙄 and anyone who is more centrist or not extremely left wing is afraid to speak up these days so they all sound the same.

I remember my dad telling me when I was young that discussing politics with others was something you should avoid, as the decision on who you should vote for was between you and the ballot box. Celebrities used to give occasional interviews about their new film or book, then tell an amusing anecdote at most. They didn't preach to everyone.

Many women in the world don't have enough money to buy pads and tampons, and in some areas they're in short supply even if you have the funds, but sure, have men stick them in places they certainly don't belong.
Please stop the world, I want to get off.

Social media has destroyed ecapist entertainment. Even if you barely use it, like me, the media will make sure you know the opinions of everyone who posts and the reactions of those who follow them. I hate it so much.

Well, this is the most offensive thing I've seen today and it's only not quite 3am!

What kind of person would not only think about doing this but feel it's a good idea to talk about doing it, then show it on Twitter?
I'm actually feeling thoroughly creeped out and sickened.
Not just sickened by the utter grossness of this person but as you mentioned, period poverty is a reality for millions of young girls and women. I've done feminine hygiene collections for homeless women in my city, would it occur to this man to donate a few packets of tampons to those less fortunate?
I highly doubt it.

Just so obviously a fetish 🥲 their obsession with tampons and vaginas is bleeping disturbing.

Still so angry about this, it is absolutely and unforgivably foul.

I am so glad I never had kids. I would be terrified for their future.
