June 6, 2020 — @jk_rowling claims she would march with trans people "if they were being discriminated against on the basis of being trans."

May 5, 2024 — Rowling joins in the cyberbullying of a trans woman for the crime using the term "bra-length hair".

A sad, short 🧵:

Today, @HazelAppleyard_ reposted this photo of a 40+ year old trans woman, @perl5girl.

Perl's original post came from 4 months ago, on January 18.

Dubbed by Nick Hilton this January as "Britain’s gloriously nasty novelist", @jk_rowling added her two cents.

Perhaps @jk_rowling was simply ignorant of the fact that the basic hair lengths do in fact include "bra strap length", as a simple google search will show.

An equally easy cross-reference of this photo will show that this picture has been used as a standard hair growth chart for over a decade, including by haristraightenersupplier.com

However, that did not stop others from commenting with their own original iterations, which Rowling must have found funny.

But if you thought that @HazelAppleyard_ and @jk_rowling were stooping to Pansy Parkinson's level of mean girl bullying, just wait until you see the comments under @perl5girl 's original post:

There's more:

Perl Girl deleted her post and locked her account.

Funny enough, just yesterday, @elonmusk said he agreed with @jk_rowling on her trans views, and encouraged her to post "interesting or positive content on other matters."

Needless to say, Rowling did not take his advice.

I wonder if JK Rowling has her own personal portrait, like that of Dorian Gray, stored somewhere in her attic, and with every tweet it grows a little more twisted.

I imagine it looks something like this by now:

In conclusion, to @jk_rowling:

I meant "bra-strap-length hair."
:/

Anyways, @UnrollHelper unroll.
