I stand for truth and biology ! I stand for respecting women! I stand with the pain endured by transitioned that it should not be erased by wokeness! I stand with JK Rowling! I stand for myself as a woman! I stand for all women, ladies, girls, females who endure so much on a daily basis! I stand for future girls!

Recognizing biology does not equal to being transphobic. Let. Women. Speak.

Many, many women grow up experiencing violence against women. Women and LGBTQ people share many things in common when it comes to having experienced abuse. Those who plan to transition need to read feminists for insight into women's issues. They do not have to agree with everything about feminism. But I suggest reading widely with an open mind, compassion and personal distance. Men who transition will never understand women by threatening, badgering, attempting to censor women or acting as if they “own” what it means to be a woman. Deep down, this behavior is aimed at running away from serious discussion of women's perspectives. One cannot simply hit "delete" and erase women's history. It’s important for us to have this discussion. Even if it is uncomfortable, we need to have this discussion.

J.K. Rowling also defended Maya Forstater (another believer in biology) in her court case. Courageous women!

Transgenderism is the disguise of the new women's oppression. We must educate children to not fall for this.

Thank you JK for saying all the things some of us can't. You're a shero.

Bullying of any kind must be called out. Women are being silenced for voicing opinions and material facts. This is unacceptable in a free and democratic society.

JK Rowling was admirably open, personal and clear. She referred to the difference between sex and gender, now used interchangeably by many which causes confusion and used intentionally so by those who have an interest in rolling back what feminist's struggles have achieved over 50 years: women's spaces, sports, funding, quotas, protected spaces. Sex is what you're born with, female or male gonads, genitalia may diverge from the norm and medical technology now knows how to change them but not your sex. Gender used to mean "sex role stereotype". Didn't we want to get rid of those stereotypes? Gender is not sex. Let's be clear in our thinking and in our language.

#I stand with JK Rowling. The levels of abuse, threat and silencing women face for standing up for their rights is vile.

Women had to fight for public toilets. For equal pay. For the vote. We should NOT have to fight for the word “WOMAN”
