    Police have been criticised for saying they will record rapes by offenders with male genitalia as being committed by a woman if the attacker “identifies as a female”.

    Police Scotland said that they would log rapes as being carried out by a woman if the accused person insists, even if they have not legally changed gender.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I love how Rowling is doubling down in the face of the mob retribution.

      Education is extremely important.

          And, she's right.

            @mik said in Rowling expands Orwell:

            Courageous woman.

            Easy to be courageous when you have multiple generations' worth of Fuck You money. 😁

            But yeah I'm so glad she's doing this.

            Please love yourself.

                She really needs to drop another series of Potterverse novels, maybe featuring Harry's son or daughter.

                How fun would it be, to make the people who criticize her, have to buy her books for their children?😄
