JK Rowling has publicly praised an extreme transphobic propaganda film created by the anti-feminist, anti-abortionist, and openly fascist Matt Walsh.

That is not in any way hyperbole.

Walsh self-identifies as a fascist. It is literally in his Twitter bio.

#JKRvsLGBTQ Matt Walsh: "I respect the courage you've shown on thisWalsh: "I literally call myself a fascist in my bio. LoMatt Walsh, "Theocratic fascist"
This is the film that Matt Walsh tried to trick trans people into being a part of by creating a fake company.

He included images of trans people without their consent.

That is what JK Rowling is praising to her 13.9 million followers and has - presumably - watched.

#JKRvsLGBTQ Tweet: https://twitter.com/EliErlick/status/1490799028401020Tweet: https://twitter.com/queermurphys/status/1527264815156Headline: Matt Walsh used trans people's Instagrams in his tKyriacou told the Daily Dot that he wants people to know how
The day before JK Rowling tried to link trans people and their rights with "Predators", she publicly endorsed the work of Matt Walsh, a man who has downplayed the rape of children and believes that they should be forced give birth to their rapist's child.

#JKRvsLGBTQ
JK Rowling is entirely correct here, but in the exact opposite way to what she presumably intends.

The proliferation of Gender Critical "feminism" has empowered misogynists like Matt Walsh to a frightening degree.

For the far right, Rowling is a dream come true.

#JKRvsLGBTQ
Update:

In a truly spectacular fit of circular logic, JK Rowling insists that her far right anti-feminist allies cannot possibly be on her side because they are far right and anti-feminist and she self-identifies as a left wing feminist...

... She is so close.

We're trying to make sure this account doesn't just become "Bad JK Rowling Takes"…

And today we are failing again. Because while LGBTQ+ people were protesting the Government's support for trans conversion therapy, JKR had a cosy meal with transphobic extremists.

#JKRvsLGBTQ
Here we have the infamous Get The L Out, a reviled hate group that openly "stand[s] against [...] queer politics and transgenderism".

It claims the existence of trans women is "rape", which manages to be both grossly transphobic and insulting to actual rape victims.

#JKRvsLGBTQ
Regular readers may remember GTLO from a BBC article which tried to claim that trans women were raping cis women...

Based entirely on a single 80 person survey which the aforementioned Not Exactly Impartial group carried out on social media.

We regret to inform you that JK Rowling is at it again.

Days after the UK government's decision that they would allow trans conversion therapy to remain legal, Rowling has endorsed David Bell, a man who has done panels for Genspect, the conversion therapy group.

#JRKvsLGBTQ
Rowling then followed up by doubling down on her support of Bell and highlighting a commenter expressing anger at her bigotry - completely ignoring the many replies with detailed criticisms of her position.

This tweet is going to take some dissection, so buckle up…

#JRKvsLGBTQ
There is a lot wrong with this tweet, but we'll start with JK Rowling describing Bell as a "whistleblower".

Bell worked at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, but has never at any time worked for GIDS.

He has no clinical expertise working with trans children.

Lauren Hough, who early followers might remember from our very first Thread, is heading for Twitter Main Character status again after her social media behaviour saw her removed from a Lambada Literary prize shortlist.

That is... not quite how she sees it.
The story began with Sandra Newman's promotion her new book, The Men, an upcoming "Gendercide" novel where the Earth is purged of its Y chromosome owners.

This announcement was met with questions, criticism, and scepticism by many members of the transgender community.
And the questions, criticism, and scepticism by members of the trans community were met by... Lauren Hough.

Lauren Hough's personal interpretation of this intervention differs ever so slightly from how most people have read her tweets.

Just when you thought there were no more depths to plumb, today JK Rowling seemingly decided to join in on a cruel "joke" mocking victims of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Full story & context below:
The tweet in question appears to be an attempt to mock the mental health of feminist writer Laurie Penny, who recently revealed that she had experienced CPTSD after undergoing an extensive harassment campaign following the publication of her trans-positive book.
Julie Bindel, infamous for her extensive transphobia and toxic social media presence, then posted a lie on her Twitter page that Penny had claimed her review "caused her Complex PTSD".

Despite Penny pointing this fiction out, the post has not been corrected.

JK Rowling is trending - again - after another attack in her ongoing "TERF War" against the trans community.

The author told her 13.9 million twitter followers that the long overdue Scottish GRA reform will "harm the most vulnerable women in society".

It is, of course, a lie...
Rowling's statement seems to echo a common "Gender Critical" conspiracy theory which claims that GRA reform will allow trans women access to women's spaces:

• GRA reform does not have anything to do with access
• That access was already established in the 2010 Equalities Act
We here at BWT would like to make it clear that we are absolutely, definitely not accusing JK Rowling of knowingly lying in an effort to demonise trans rights.

She may simply be grossly ignorant of the things she tweets about.

Here's some helpful info:

Since it's December, we're revisiting some of the worst writing takes from this year that we never quite managed to catalogue.

From January 2021, Raquel S. Benedict's fascinatingly bizarre tweet-rant against fanfiction. it's incredibly bleak how many contemporary aspiring writers
Other notable authors who have written (and in some cases even published) fanfiction include Neil Gaiman, Lois McMaster Bujold, Rainbow Rowell, Seanan McGuire, Madeline Miller, Naomi Novik, Sarah Rees Brennan, N. K. Jemisin, William Shakespeare, and Dante Alighieri. "but some published writers start with fanfic" yea
"Honor your ancestors."

Now, to be entirely fair, I have no idea how any of our queer ancestors would feel about our trash-tier Promare and Genshin Impact ships.

But then, to be even more fair, neither does Raquel S. Benedict. "But fanfic is often queer." Great; but did you kn
