Daniel Lismore@daniellismore·
JK Rowling has built a public identity around protecting women. She talks about women constantly. Women’s spaces. Women’s rights. Women’s safety. Women’s sport. Women’s everything. So where is she on Reform UK’s behind the scenes campaign against abortion rights? Silence. Where is she on Reform’s position on removing the United Kingdom from the European Convention on Human Rights, the legal framework that protects women from domestic violence, forced marriage, honour crimes and state discrimination? Silence. Where is she on the broader rollback of women’s rights being driven by the exact political forces she has chosen to align herself with? Complete silence. This is a woman with over thirteen million followers, a billion dollar franchise, a personal legal fund and the ear of Supreme Court justices. She is not short of a platform. She is not afraid of controversy. She has demonstrated repeatedly that she will say difficult things loudly when she wants to. She just does not want to say these things. The pattern is not subtle. Every campaign she has funded, every legal case she has backed, every public statement she has made has had one subject. Not women broadly. Specifically and only transgender people. When the conversation moves to abortion she is absent. When it moves to the ECHR she is absent. When it moves to Reform UK’s social conservatism, which would take the rights of women backwards by decades, she is absent. The European Convention on Human Rights is not an abstract legal document. It is the framework that has delivered concrete protections for women in this country. It underpins the right not to be subjected to domestic violence without state protection. It underpins reproductive rights cases. It underpins protections against forced marriage and trafficking. It underpins the right to private life, to bodily autonomy, to equal treatment under law. Reform UK wants to remove the United Kingdom from it. It also protects transgender people. That appears to be the problem. Because the only coherent explanation for Rowling’s silence on every other women’s rights issue while spending her fortune on this one is that her campaign was never really about women. It was always about transgender people. Women were the framing. Trans exclusion was the goal. A person who genuinely cared about women’s rights in 2025 would be screaming about Reform. They would be funding legal challenges to abortion restrictions. They would be speaking loudly about the ECHR. They would understand that you cannot claim to defend women’s rights while staying silent as the political movement you have empowered works to dismantle the legal architecture that protects women from the state and from violence. Unless the rights you actually care about are not women’s rights in general. Unless they are specifically the right to exclude transgender people from public life. In which case the silence makes perfect sense. Follow the silence. It tells you everything the statements do not.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ She wonders why she lost friends. I’ve spoken to 3 of her old friends in person. And they had the worst possible for us to say about her. So she may be your hero but it seems to me that she’s not a very nice person.

@WingsScotland Is this supposed to deter people from defending JKR? If so, I think you have made a gross miscalculation…

@Valphrex @eliepink_ Just like boys and men cannot possibly know what it "feels like" to be a girl or woman, despite their protestations, then.

@eliepink_ It's frustrating when people who are not trans like to speak on the trans experience. If you do not understand what trans people go through or what led them to where they are today, they need to do some research and stay in their own lane.

the thing transphobes never seem to understand is that the academic consensus in biology, medicine, and health sciences is that trans people are valid and transitioning is best practice to alleviate gender dysphoria in trans people. no matter what they say this remains true.

@EnricoPalazzo11 @jk_rowling @campbellclaret True. But working for and with those charities means you are well aware of the practicalities of life. Please state your evidence that JKR lives in "an ivory tower" (assuming you have any, other than her now being wealthy).

@JLTPoetry @daniellismore @jk_rowling Sorry you have such a shit life that you’re clearly desperate to get attention by any ridiculous means you can. As a teacher I’ve known a lot of badly-behaved, attention-seeking people - but they were usually about 10. I wonder if you realise how pathetically childish you seem.

@susejoyj @daniellismore @jk_rowling I wouldn’t consider raping kids with Epstein to be “improving” that child’s life. JK Rowling should be in jail for what she’s done. While we’re at it, all of you pedophile protectors should be in there with her.

@JenniferB812 @oldlady2609 But Dr Upton testified that if a patient requested a woman doctor he would still treat them, thus clearly putting his own feelings above the patient's wishes.

@oldlady2609 Dr Upton is registered as a female practitioner and under AHPRA is female so you are all good there. A transgender woman does not remove informed consent. How are you going to tell? Do you ask all female practitioners to prove they are female?

I wasn't going to say anything, but, fuck it. Anti-trans activists have found Dr Beth Uptons AHPRA registration and are doing what they do best. It's disgusting. Being a transgender woman doesn't prevent her from being a good clinician.

@JLTPoetry @daniellismore Total disgusting barefaced lie. Don’t you have anything better to do with your life than invent lies about people who have done thousands of times more to improve the lives of others than you ever will? I do hope @jk_rowling sues you.

@daniellismore JK Rowling was close associates with Jeffrey Epstein. Is she a pedophile? Possibly. I’d be curious how many times she paid a visit to Little Saint James.

@EnricoPalazzo11 @jk_rowling @campbellclaret But no doubt you’re not interested in anything that might contradict your preconceived ideas, because you’re too full of irrational hatred. What is the basis of your belief that she lives in an ivory tower? Maybe you just hate anyone who’s richer than you. 2/2

@EnricoPalazzo11 @jk_rowling @campbellclaret Yes. And if you knew anything about JKR's history, her charity work etc. you would know that doesn’t apply to her. She was recently awarded British Red Cross Humanity Award for her 'outstanding philanthropic work for families involving children and one-parent families'. 1/2

@jk_rowling @campbellclaret All you do is spit venom from your Ivory Tower JK. You're too scared to be asked questions on your views - much easier to hide behind your 'witty' put downs and launch endless attacks on those who dare to disgaree with you. If anyone's a coward, its you.

@campbellclaret I would also, since I have integrity, ask myself if it was really a good idea to be so influenced by a bullying person with such low moral standards.

@campbellclaret Shame you didn’t bring your daughter up to know how wrong it is to judge people by their looks, clothes, hair etc. Shame she’s so shallow and unpleasant. I’d be totally embarrassed and ashamed of her if she were my daughter.

@BoyGeorge Was that true of people who hated Nazis? Is it true of the people who frequently state publicly how much they hate "TERFS" and think they should be killed or sexually abused? (Or was it just a silly, shallow bit of pontificating?)

@SVPhillimore Interesting that he categorises the law of the land as "legal tantrums" when he doesn’t agree with it.

What Mr Weddell appears to want is a world where any criticism of his declared unlawful behaviour is silenced as ‘harassment’. And the Good Law Project seem very committed to bring this world into being. Happily for the rest of us, they are idiots and will be brought to heel by the very systems of law they have attempted to corrupt.
