I have worked in violence against women and supporting individuals with various needs including LGBTQ+ populations all of my adult life. I believe gender is a social construct (having various degrees in social and other issues). I believe individuals have the right to self expression but I also believe the various biological, social, cultural, political and psychological issues faced by woman are unique to this group, often result in reduced rights and victimisation and that therefore ‘woman’ needs to be legally defined and protected. I believe that minority groups such as LGBTQ* face their own challenges and needs which can co-exist with that of women and we can protect the rights of other minority but this should be with consideration to ensure that legal changes do not work to remove, undermining or minimise the rights and opportunities of women. I am concerned that our society has not understood these nuances which had the potential to severely undermine hundreds of years of fighting for women’s rights and have real social implications which I have always seen (such as women’s services loosing local authority funding). No matter what your position threats, violence, doxing and all the other ways in which JK Rowling and others who have spoken out for the rights of woman (and encouraged discourse on a complex issue) have been treated is both immoral and illegal.

Interesting that it is males to female trans folk who are so vocal and vitriolic trying to eliminate biological females. Female to male transgender folk are not vocal and get on with their lives , are kind and do not expect the world to change and so are accepted as ‘people / human beings’ . Seems to be a XY thing … XX genetically born folk are more stable. Hey ho , another male thing trying to subjugate natural born females. I am ok for people rights and equality but at the end of the day male born athletes are stronger and bigger … are they competing with natural born women because they can’t or won’t compete with masculine males ? So again put natural women down. Sounds misogynistic to me.

I believe that she is being criticized and condemned for sharing her opinions and beliefs as a woman. They are not meant to hurt others, she is merely stating what a large percentage of voiceless women feel and is not scared to stand up for her own opinion. I feel so sad that people can be so vicious to a woman who has legitimate reasons for her concerns and she should not be pressured into silence. Women have given up so much for far too long to be mocked in this way.

The harassment she has experienced is hellish and so irrational since Rowling has been quite consistent about her feminism. Never bend the knee to terrorists.

Jo has been abused, has received death threat for her honest, open and brave stance of her beliefs, which are justified. Everyone has a right to voice their opinions and beliefs without being harrassed, abused, or slandered. I support J K Rowling in every way. Love her dearly.

Estoy en total desacuerdo con la elección del actor seleccionado para interpretar a Sverus Snape ya que va en contra de una fiel adaptación a los libros.

Thank you for speaking out loudly and loudly again! Trans women are men. Let’s not conflate issues. Women’s rights are for women and women are not accountable for trans people. Not one bit. This is something society as a whole has to come together and work out.

Thank you for all you do for the rights of women and girls. I don’t believe we would have gotten this far (UK Support Court ruling) had it not been in large part due to your unflinching bravery, dedicated championship, and ceaseless support for our sex-based rights. We can all move mountains but you’ve given us the courage to do so. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

When men declaring themselves to be women want to impose their presence in women’s groups or in other places reserved for women (prisons, sheltered accommodation for victims of violence, etc.), we, the men of Zeromacho, side with the women who refuse such violence. When men declaring themselves to be women take women’s places in sports competitions or governing bodies with gender-quotas attached, we, the men of Zeromacho, side with the women who refuse such injustice. When men declaring themselves to be women claim that prostitution gives women power, we, the men of Zeromacho, side with the people who are fighting prostitutional slavery, and point out that this system of organised violence is established for men’s profit. When feminists are attacked, insulted and threatened under the false accusation of being transphobic and are derogatorily called “TERFs” (Transexclusionary radical feminists), we are on their side. They are called radical? So are we, because the point is to get to the root of the evil. What evil? Patriarchal violence, the violence of masculinists that finds its roots in the contempt for, and hatred of, women and feminists. We, the men of Zeromacho, give our support to feminists who are under attack from masculinists and are being slandered, harassed, sent death threats (see photo*) for having stated the biological reality of female and male. The British writer J.K. Rowling was attacked in an insane controversy about her having tweeted on 6th June 2020: “‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?” A word? ‘Women’! Only women menstruate, have ovaries, a uterus. Only women get pregnant. Some of women’s rights are based on their sex, such as the right to gather in non-mixed premises or to take part in female-only sports competitions. These are not privileges: they are rights that feminists fought long and hard for. It took two centuries of femini
