 JK Rowling does victory lap following UK Supreme Court ruling that trans women aren't legally women
Story by Rachel del Guidice • 18h

Author JK Rowling is celebrating the UK Supreme Court's ruling that transgender women aren't legally women in celebratory posts on X.

"I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights," Rowling posted Wednesday on X, along with a photo of herself holding a drink and smoking a cigar by the water.
 
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court of England ruled unanimously that a woman is defined as a person who was born biologically a female, and that transgender women are no longer included in the legal definition of a woman.
 
"We toasted you, @ForWomenScot," Rowling, who is the author of the "Harry Potter" series, said in another post with two champagne glasses and referenced her husband celebrating like it's Victory in Europe Day. "Neil says it’s TERF VE Day 🤣#SupremeCourt #WomensRights."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Thousands of protesters in London, England are out at a protest for trans rights in the U.K., because trans rights are the same as Palestinian rights as climate change as immigration as blahblahblah.

“One struggle, one fight, Palestine, trans rights!”

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The moslems are just biding their time until they completely take over England, just wait until they have Allahu Akbar on the throne.

Hawk flies over and drops one on us with:
"The moslems are just biding their time until they completely take over England, just wait until they have Allahu Akbar on the throne."

I think he's seated there already.
Or at least... one of his apologists.

If he lives long enough, I wouldn't be surprised to see him "convert" Britain to islam, in a perverse re-enactment of how Constantine converted Rome to Christianity...

Doubt we agree on much else, but I do respect her for celebrating with a drink and a cigar.
