Seems to be a lot of anger in this woman

Amen! Common sense and truth from a writer of fiction. She knows fiction when she sees it.

The tolerant generation ... as long as you agree with them. How dare someone have an opinion that isn't radical ...

As jk_rowling said yesterday:

She, of all people, should be open to new ways of thinking about how we define the world. I'm just sayin.

Absolutely the least of my concerns at the moment. Don’t like her, don’t buy the books, don’t see the movie.

Transexuals with penis...The most vicious and misogynistic attack on womanhood

Under fire from the sciencedeniers

She's right but she's facing a militant group that wants to use language as a weapon. You can see transgender rights as equal rights and not see a need to change the language or run away from sex. Women menstruate.

Mother fucking

Pass the popcorn...the left is eating their own again.

Wake up

She's a massive bigot, so any time she talks about the subject (which she's obsessed with) it's offensive af.

Why she's absolutely horrible pointing out a biological fact! How dare she!
