Young people say to me ‘I agree with most of what @jk_rowling says’. When I ask what bits they don’t agree with, they can’t say. #StandwithJKRowling

- Me neither.What you and your ilk fail to appreciate is how tediously familiar I find your tactics. I had a violent ex-husband who used to tell me life would be great if only I’d comply, but you’re making the same mistake he did. Women like me can’t be bullied out of resistance.
- “Lazy transphobia”? @charlotte2153 as a former competitive swimmer you must know how hard the girls have trained for many years. And spare a thought for the girl who was excluded from the team as a result of Thomas’s inclusion. Frankly this is an insult to them.
- Unlike Mr Tenant or those in the audience @KemiBadenoch is standing for @UKParliament. It is her JOB to speak up and not shut up. ⬇️
- I challenge people to read @Docstockk book Material Girls and find anything transphobic in it. This bullying campaign against her raises the temperature at a time when women and girls feel more fearful and threatened than ever before.As a @SussexUni alumna, I’m pleased to see this support for Professor Stock. No one should face harassment in the workplace. Robust academic debate is a hallmark of a civilised society. Hounding people out of a job because you disagree with them, is not.
- Lovely to see the Elizabeth Tower unwrapped for the first time in years.
- Thank you @BaronessDeech for this helpful contribution to the discussion. And thanks to all those who tweeted support in response to the article I had in yesterday’s @dailytelegraph. Very encouraged.
- @jk_rowling thank you for leading by example and by doing so giving others of us in positions of responsibility to have the courage to do the same. #IStandWithJKR
- Replying to @PaulBrandITVUnlike @UKLabour @Conservatives are tolerant of discussion and debate and happy to hear a variety of voices supporting LGBT rights and those of #women too. Supporting women’s rights is NOT transphobic. There is no ‘row’ within the Party. This is a confected ‘row’.
- Thanks person on Mumsnet for this comment. “When I was a student back in the 90s I lived in Bernard Jenkin’s constituency. I answered the door once when he was canvassing & gave him a flea in his ear. If I answered the door to him now I’d give him tea and cake” @bernardjenkin
- The bullying of @RosieDuffield1 is mad. A woman who has experienced domestic abuse herself and called it out. A woman who stands up for women’s rights. What happened to tolerance? #StandwithRosieDuffielsWhen people derive their identity - indeed, their existence - from their feelings, then there is no more debate, no more relationship, and no such thing as society. For that reason #IStandWithRosieDuffield
