Earlier this month, J. K. Rowling and journalist Suzanne Moore held a Lumos fund raising function at Pino’s Italian Restaurant in Kensington. The owner of that venue celebrated the featured speakers for their heroic stands against transgender overreach.
The week I get harassed by evangelical TRA's, my restaurants get anonymous & generic bad reviews by trolls with similar pseudonyms.
All due to helping raise money for Ukraine with the lovely JK Rowling and Suzanne Moore.
You sure about that right side of history claim fellas?— James Chiavarini (@ilporticolondon) June 1, 2022
You can read about what happened to him at GBNews.uk in an article titled The owner of Pino’s Italian held an event with JK Rowling and a journalist with gender-critical views. In brief, subsequent to that charity event, his restaurant out of nowhere (!) received a host of negative reviews online from transgender activists and, more telling, the actual building in which the restaurant does business was attacked.
In the same week as the online accusations of being homophobe for sticking up for JK Rowling and Suzanne Moore, followed the fake bad reviews, now someone has smashed in the windows at portico and ransacked the place. Could obviously be a coincidence, but what a few days! pic.twitter.com/b1PXOvEnEU

One is obliged to note that there is no proof that there is a connection between these attacks and Rowling’s appearance at the restaurant that would lead to a conviction in a court of law. “Could obviously be a coincidence!” as the man says. I am also obliged, however, to say out loud what the perpetrators of such anonymous attacks had in mind, namely, the principal objective of all terrorists, to frighten anyone considering opposing them with the possibility that they might become targets of such attacks themselves.
I have stirred up a real hornets nest here, so let me clarify some things.
1) The glass is tempered & was smashed from the outside. In commercial environments, most glass is tempered for safety so it fragments and drops into tiny pieces when hit. Just like your car windshield. https://t.co/af1Am9UkfH

If anyone has a report of those in Harry Potter fandom who slander Rowling by calling her a transphobe and bigot that have chosen nonetheless to call out transgender activists, Team Trans, who threaten the author with physical violence in their tweets, attack venues where she appears, and act as anonymous terrorists online to chill any resistance to their ’cause,’ let me know. Until then, I’m deaf to the reports — ‘unfounded accusations’ really as there is never any evidence offered beyond feelings and identity — of how “J. K. Voldemort” incited violence against transgender people with her “hateful” tweets and essays.
