She added: “The bleak truth is that if and when the scandal does erupt, nobody currently cheering this movement on will be able to credibly claim ‘we couldn’t have known’.”

I think this is one of her strongest statements. (proof she's pushing forward)

I hope so. I want heads to roll, medical licenses to be revoked. I want violent dudes called out for what they are, and I want the right-side-of-history handmaidens defending them right now to acknowledge it.

One of the things that bother me is that if the public ever realize the problems with this movement, I doubt they’ll ever admit that their behavior was wrong. They’ll just say, “I couldn’t have known!! I was just trying to be a good person and support oppressed people!” They’ll never acknowledge that they participated in silencing women who tried to speak up, they won’t acknowledge that they jumped on a bandwagon about a topic they actually knew nothing about. They won’t acknowledged that they engaged in slurs and slander towards women. They won’t acknowledge that they participated in harmful groupthink and bullying.

I had one guy said I was hateful for picking on the most vulnerable group in the world for suggesting we should maybe wait for a scientific basis for medically transitioning kids who almost certainly wouldn't be trans as adults.

Ah.. Reddit.

Do you think they'll try to ban her from Twitter? I don't know if it's just my imagination but it feels like Twitter's censorship has been ramping up. We all know they've been trying to cancel and deplaform her ever since JK Rowling started speaking up.

Not unless they're ready to ban Donald Trump. JK has the resources to raise hell.

I can imagine them banning JK before ever touching him. Trump is a man and the current US president.
