Man I admired her from the first word of HP. She's gotten me through so much (her books have) and she's now going to get so many women through all this vitriol. I don't believe in God but I'm seriously praying she's able to hold on while we all join her.

Editing to add : twitter has made this a moment now. Has anyone noticed how twitter only adds dissenting opinions to these moments if they don't want to support it? How cowardly and manipulative.

I know "Moments" are basically Sort By Controversial for twitter (also it sounds like a mom's euphemism for a child's tantrum: "Taylor had A Moment when we went to get his hair cut") .... but to make a Moment out of a completely inside baseball controversy, which was that Rowling 'Liked' a certain other tweet.....? IJS, I hope that on a meta level this "nontroversy" signals the last days of twitter's relevance. (but I gotta say they photo of JKR they used for this Moment is divine)

I agree. She looks lovely in it. Today transpeoplearerealpeople was trending. Didn't she tweeting saying she was concerned for their safety? Would she do that if she didn't consider them people? I don't get the drama. It's like the meangirls movie on redbull or something.
