    Yeah, there's no way in hell she'd tweet this if she knew it was the party line.

    She'll apologize and take the browbeating, she has absolutely no idea what's going on. This is the first step in a long journey, Rome wasn't built in a day. She'll have more relevant things to say in a couple of years after she's survived all of the abuse she's about to take.

    Maybe. She could have read the NYT article at the weekend. And she might have all the TRAs attacking her but she has nearly 77,600 likes so far, which may also sway her. And some of the TRA attacks are fucking nasty, so while she might be convinced to backtrack by the 'smarter' TRAs who are trying to convince with arguments about how they are just being inclusive. The amount of comments she's getting that she's just ugly and jealous and too old to have babies so should shut up, could make her go scorched earth.

    Add to that, Macy Grey's well considered comments last night too. If I was Bette Midler, I think I'd feel heartened to be on the same side as another brave talented, woman on the same day. And Mark Hamill has liked her post, maybe this time he won't backtrack and apologise like he did when he liked JKR's post in 2020. He obviously feels something similar to most of us, but was unprepared for the backlash last time, this time he might have gone in with his eyes open. I guess we'll find out in the next 24 hours or so.
