Never read any of her books because I don't care about that whole genre but......

[wolfie001]

....what a sicko. Plain and simple. This is how she spends her down time. Prolly talks to E-Loon daily

[bullimiami]

1. Burning down her fan base before she checks out.

4. She has publicly misgendered this boxer

I hope she is sued for millions.

[wolfie001]

10. Yes!!!

[Mosby]

16. Know one knows

Her gender.

Except her of course.

If she were to sue rowlings, she would probably have to undergo a physical and a genetic test. Doubt she would be willing to do that, not because of the findings, but because the notion of personal privacy has expanded for international athletes to include refusal to allow doctors ability to evaluate them.

In the NBA, NFL, MLB and probably soccer the athletes have to undergo physicals and genetic testing, but in international competitions nothing like that exists.

J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk have both been named in a criminal complaint filed to French authorities over alleged “acts of aggravated cyber harassment” against Algerian boxer and newly crowned Olympic champion Imane Khelif.

Nabil Boudi, the Paris-based attorney of Khelif, confirmed to Variety that both figures were mentioned in the body of the complaint, posted to the anti-online hatred center of the Paris Prosecutor’s Office on Friday.

In a statement sent to Variety, the Paris Prosecutor’s Office (National Center for the Fight Against Online Hatred), confirmed it received the complaint filed by Khelif and announced that an investigation had been launched. “On Aug. 13, (The National Center for the Fight Against Online Hatred) contacted the OCLCH (Central Office for the Fight Against Crimes Against Humanity and Hate Crimes) to conduct an investigation into the counts of cyber harassment due to gender, public insult because of gender, public incitement to discrimination and public insult because of origin.”

The lawsuit was filed against X, which under French law means that it was filed against unknown persons. That “ensure[s] that the ‘prosecution has all the latitude to be able to investigate against all people,” including those who may have written hateful messages under pseudonyms, said Boudi. The complaint nevertheless mentions famously controversial figures.

“J. K. Rowling and Elon Musk are named in the lawsuit, among others,” he said...

6. Who?

[wolfie001]

11. 'Hairiest Potter' author

[XanaDUer2]

13. Tried reading it...boring

Tried watching the movies...nope despite the cast. When I worked, i was the only one among a group of middle-aged ppl not part of a "house" i couldn't believe 48-yr-olds were doing this. I mean ymmv, but 25 yrs ago, I couldn't imagine coworkers (librrary) obsessing about something like a kids'book.

[wolfie001]

15. I know

Like why? Aren't there more than enough flat earthers around?

[XanaDUer2]

19. It was strange

They had no room on their desks but had all these bobbleheads and kid stuff on their desks.

21. I remember the bit on SNL when Shatner told his audience of Trekkie groupies to go get a life

One of the funniest things I ever saw on the show.

17. Weird that she hates so much

She's willing to lie about someone's gender in order to make a point. It's one thing to hate Trans-women, it's a whole another level of hate to hate cis-women that look too Trans . . .
