Rowling Tweets about Trump Executive Order Contra Gender Theory Ideology

January 20, 2025 by 8 Comments

President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order today only hours after his inauguration, one titled, “DEFENDING WOMEN FROM GENDER IDEOLOGY EXTREMISM AND RESTORING BIOLOGICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.” As he pledged during his campaign almost a year ago, Trump delivered on “Day One” a Gender Critical feminist ‘magic wand’ wish list. Read the whole thing at the WhiteHouse.gov link above, but here is a handy summary of “Defending Women:”

Responses from Gender Critical feminists varied in their enthusiasm for this breakthrough Executive Order that sets the cause of Transgender Radical Activists back to zero.

On the one hand, many women lauded Trump for delivering on his pledge to “defend women” and “restore biological truth:”

Other feminists chose to lament that, though Trump’s Executive Order delivered everything that the Gender Critical community could have wanted from an American politician, that this man they despise was the one to do it.

Rowling tweeted about the “Defending Women” Executive Order in response to a Susan Dalgety tweet on the subject.

Dalgety, the editor of The Women Who Wouldn’t Weesht, despises Trump. Her twixter feed during Trump’s inaugural address featured a series of tweets that snarkily dismissed his pledges to pursue American energy independence (“Fuck the planet“), to “bring back law and order to American cities” (“Says the first convicted felon to be POTUS“), and to “extend our territories” even to Mars (“Thank you says Musk“). She even chose to mock Trump’s ‘air kiss’ to his wife with the suggestion that she wore a broad brimmed hat to prevent him from landing lips on her face (“Form meets function” reposted from ‘The Daily Show’). Most revealing, perhaps, of her Trump Derangement Syndrome was her tweeting “Crazy Stuff” as her verdict on his judgement that he was “saved by God to make America great again.”

Dalgerty’s take on the “Defending Women” Executive Order? Predictable — ‘It’s okay, but, y’know, Trump:’ [Read more…]

Rowling Bankrolls Gender Critical Resistance in UK and Australia

January 18, 2025 by 1 Comment

Today Rowling retweeted an X posting by Julie Bindell that included her recent podcast comments about Pink News, an interview she chose to caption with the brief and terse, “I sued Pink News.”

It was not news per se but Rowling’s retweeting it included her back and forth replies to Bindell that of course went out to Rowling’s 14 million plus followers on that platform. It had a startling finish:

The “shocked” bit is evidently sarcasm, meaning “this was very well known and you know very well how involved I was in that suit.” Bindel’s “I don’t like to mention it” is similarly sarcastic; she is not one to suffer injuries or fools quietly (her courage in reporting the Muslim rape gangs for many years speaks to her temperament in this regard). Rowling segues from that false humility or reserve to the subject of her having been rumored to be bankrolling this lawsuit against Pink News, which Bliden confirms.

And then Rowling drops what seems to be the point of the re-tweeting and the entire exchange. “I feel today’s a really good day to let the delightful Cohen and James know I was indeed backing you.” Rowling as a rule does not flaunt her private generosity in public. What has happened to make 18 January a “really good today” to reveal that she had been paying Blindel’s significant legal costs in her battle against Pink News, costs that would otherwise have bankrupted the independent journalist?

Two explanations are credible, I think.

The first is that this is Pink News specific. The two owners of this LGBTQ+ publication are facing a landslide of allegations from former employees of sexual misconduct and, at best, a “hostile work environment.” If you listen to the Blindel podcast comments about Pink News, the edited version makes sure to highlight Blindel’s comments that Pink News published almost 700 articles about J. K. Rowling to defame her as a “transphobe,” “bigot,” and “TERF.” Today would be the day to reveal to “Cohen and James” that their attempt to wait out Blindel and bankrupt her in a kind of “lawfare” had failed because the journalist had the barracuda barristers of a billionaire at her side; their fall from grace, Rowling seemed to think, was the right moment to reveal a la the Count of Monte Christo who their real persecutor is.

Hence the popularity of this meme today:

The message seems to be Rowling telling those who come for her that actions have consequences, i.e.,  F. A. F. O.

That makes sense except that the Pink News story is more than a week old by BBC time and Rowling said “today’s a really good day” to reveal she had Blindel’s back in this court case. This is beside the points that Rowling is not given to either flashing her generosity for social media credit or doing end zone dances. Why “today,” then?

J. K. Rowling and President Trump are Both Thinking of Greenland

January 9, 2025 by Leave a Comment

J. K. Rowling has changed her Twitter header, but this time it’s unlikely to be Strike-Ellacott related. Of course the -5 deg C (25F) overnight temperatures in Edinburgh, may just be reminding her of her Summer holiday, aboard her yacht, but Greenland has been in the news recently for other reasons.

Hours after his son Donald Trump Jr touched down in the capital, Nuuk, on Tuesday, the US president-elect, Donald Trump, held a press conference, where he refused to rule out using military force to make Greenland part of the US, and threatened to impose “very high” tariffs on Denmark, of which Greenland is an autonomous territory, if it gets in his way.

The Kremlin is closely following U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s claim to Greenland, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday. Whether this is with an aim to contain the US’ ambition, or as inspiration for their own is not yet clear.

Rowling Tweets about Asian Rape Gangs

January 2, 2025 by Leave a Comment

In September of last year, I wrote a post in which I listed the three topical subjects and controversies that Rowling never discusses; ‘Is J. K. Rowling a Coward? Three Topics About Which She Will Not Speak.’ Number one on my short list was being called an Islamophobe in which point I named explicitly her never mentioning ‘Asian,’ which is to say ‘Muslim,’ “grooming gangs.”

(1) She is Afraid of Being Labelled an Islamophobe

Rowling tweets regularly about Islamicist crimes against women in Iran, Iraq, Indonesia, and Afghanistan. These are usually re-tweets of reports from those countries by brave women reporting the abuses.

She never comments on or retweets reports about  Islamicist crimes against women and children in the United Kingdom, cf., ‘Asian’ grooming gangs in Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford, and “honor killings.”

Why not? The most obvious and therefore likely answer is because she fears being grouped with “Far Right Extremists” or being accused of fostering “Hate Crimes” against innocent Muslim believers and agnostic ‘Asians’ in the UK.

Her only statement about the riots throughout the UK this summer by nativist gangs against immigrant crimes and the blind-eye of government to these crimes was a retweet about the injustice of attacks on housing for immigrants.

This is an issue about which Rowling chooses prudently or out of cowardice not to express her opinion. Islamicist crimes, per her twixter feed, only occur outside the UK. No crimes against Christians, by the state or by Islamicists, in the UK or elsewhere, are ever mentioned; they simply do not exist in Rowling-world.

On New Year’s Day, Rowling at last tweeted about what she calls “rape gangs” no doubt in response to public outrage of the last few weeks:

She posts this as a breaking story (“The details emerging…”) and does not mention that the rapists are almost exclusively Muslim males and the victims white English girls. (See this twitter thread for the sordid history of “institutional cowardice” and the recent reports that made it “breaking news.”) She re-tweets several pieces posted by others about a heroic feminist journalist in which she implicitly acknowledges that this story “broke” twenty years ago (see here, here, here, and here). Rowling also reposted a piece in which the author claimed the rape gangs were “a problem neither of immigration or a particular religious or racial group,” a bit of side-stepping for which she was immediately called out: [Read more…]

Rowling Equates Gender Affirming Care Conformity with Nazi ‘Banality of Evil’

December 29, 2024 by

Rowling is on solid ground here in this thread, by the way. The euphemism ‘Gender Affirming Care,’ chemical castration and surgical mutilation in plain speech has been demonstrated to result in minors twelve times more likely to commit suicide than those not having these treatments and surgeries, an especially appaling statistic because the argument used to coerce parents into these atrocities posing as medical care is that the boy or girl in question if not “transitioned” irreparably will commit suicide. “Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?” See the Cass Report for more on this.

The new retort rhetorical strategy evident here is Rowling’s taking the attack to her Trans Radical Activist opponents using their own smear tactics, albeit more subtly and on point. They have repeatedly branded her as a TERF Nazi, going so far as to call her a holocaust denier.

Rowling turns the tables here by noting how a Bio-Ethics report is eerily reminiscent of the language employed by Eichmann and other National Socialist war criminals (and conformist civilians who were never brought to trial) to justify their going-along-with or aiding-and-abetting crimes against humanity. She cites Hannah Arendt’s The Banality of Evil to great effect here in calling out a recently published Bio-Ethics article which moved the ethical goalposts off the playing field and into the stadium parking lot. The new metric for success in gender mutilating therapies and surgeries, believe it or not, is if the patient got what they said they wanted in their initial interview rather than what they experienced consequent to such “Gender Affirming Care.”

Rowling does not say to the TRAs and doctors involved, “You want Nazi criminals? You’re the Nazi criminals, you butchers!” But it isn’t hard to draw the lines connecting those dots. If that weren’t clear enough, she doubled-down on the analogy avalanche later in the day by linking the medical professionals and families pushing and permitting the abuse of what they call “trans kids” or “trans children” with lobotomists, who destroyed the higher brain function of tens of thousands of patients around the world, predominantly women, in the name of mental health:

Five years ago, Rowling posted the tweet heard round the world in defense of a woman who’d lost her job for insisting on biological facts. She spent the better part of two years on the defensive and under a cancellation tsunami. Since that time, reality has caught up with the conformists and medical profiteers — and now Rowling is on the offensive. Her 14 million twixter followers, if her comment threads are any indication, have ‘transitioned’ from a horde-like herd of angry TRAs who were once devoted Rowling Readers to a community very much on board with her biology-based medicine and feminism understanding of “transgenderism.” [Read more…]
