When a feminist in New Zealand is attacked by trans activists, what is the headline in The Daily Mail the next day?
JK Rowling blasts ‘repellent’ New Zealand ‘mob’ after British trans critic Kellie-Jay Keen is doused in tomato sauce and evacuated by police before she can speak at rally
- ‘Transphobe’ Kellie-Jay Keen hit with tomato juice and may not continue her tour
- JK Rowling has since hit out at trans rights protesters in New Zealand and the UK
As disturbing as the attack of Gender Theory Extremists was, I’m skeptical that the story would have merited a mention by Fleet Street if the world’s most famous author hadn’t flagged it with a series of tweets on her twitter platform to her 14 million followers. Many of those followers are journalists who recognize that Rowling’s name in a headline is click-bait gold.
Rowling-Murray clearly understands this as well and uses her unique second-job as online-influencer to highlight transgender violence and attacks on freedom of speech (not to say ‘reason’), to keep the world’s attention on the plight of women in Iran, and to call out government officials for their efforts to reduce women’s rights in the UK.
Join me after the jump for examples of all three themes on Rowling’s twitter feed.
Women in Iran
Solidarity to these wonderful girls❤️ https://t.co/1o5RkKK7ff

Her name is #ShirinNajafi. Her dear sister, #HadisNajafi, was brutally killed by the Islamist regime in Iran for protesting.
Now, the regime threatened to sentence Shirin to 15-25 years if she doesn’t collaborate.
They don’t even let mourning families breathe. pic.twitter.com/6C8Arp4pvn

I got goosebumps by watching this beautiful moment of Nowruz celebration in Iran. This is Saghez the city of #MahsaAmini the 22 year woman who’s brutal death became a symbol of a revolution in Iran. Now her father holding a torch while men and women singing and dancing together.… pic.twitter.com/S881GPF28j

Transgender Extremist Violence Against Women
There are multiple videos of Kellie-Jay being assaulted. Women have become used to lies, threats of violence and outright denial of reality, but if you imagine anyone feels 'defeated', think again. Your men's rights activists showed the world exactly who they are. #LetWomenSpeak https://t.co/DSkOupyfv1

No one will ever believe your crocodile tears again. You’re not oppressed. You’re not in fear for your life. You’re bullying and intimidating women who don’t buy your anti-science, anti-reason mantras and male entitlement. You’ve shown the world your true colours. We see you. https://t.co/hDD2Cm5gZQ

After the repellent scenes from New Zealand, in which a mob assaulted women speaking up for their rights, #TheLesbianProject is being intimidated and threatened in the UK, right now. https://t.co/w7rahPjxrr

Government NewSpeak and Neglect of Women’s Rights
.@glasgowcathcart
1. There is zero evidence that trans-identified males don't retain male patterns of criminality.
2. There are proportionately more trans-identified males in jail in the UK for sex offences than among male prisoners as a whole. 1/3 https://t.co/pAF621aXj1— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 24, 2023
Some questions for @glasgowcathcart:
1. Is the be-penised rapist you coyly call "the individual" a man or a woman?
2. Do you agree with @HumzaYousaf that convicted rapists should NOT be excluded from applying for a gender recognition certificate?
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 24, 2023
What a lovely pink heart. Now tell us why you voted down the amendment to stop rapists being housed in women’s jails, @HumzaYousaf.#IslaBryson #KatieDolatowski #ParisGreen https://t.co/fbrgRh9bWE

Will we see JKR taking a moment to attend to Bethany and Ryan Bomberger’s new children’s book, She is She – and if so, in what terms? In a recent interview in the context of its release, Ryan Bomberger noted “I’m the 1% that’s used 100% of the time to justify abortion. I had a courageous birth mom who I’m forever grateful to, that even though she experienced the horror and the violence of rape, she did not make me a victim of the violence of abortion.”
