Are they spending a ton of their time and wealth. Rowling has tweeted like 20 times in 5 years. It doesn’t seem like a big part of her life, just something she’s talked about.

It’s like I comment about oatmeal raisin cookies. I like them and will engage in conversation every few months or so. But it’s not a ton of my life. I don’t wake up and go to bed thinking of cookies.



Huh? I checked her account to see how many times she’s tweeted in the past day, but I got bored and stopped after 20. And every. Single. One. Is about trans stuff.


No it's not. Latest tweet is a retweet about the assisted dying bill going through Parliament. Next is about women's rights to single-sex spaces in context of the recent Supreme Court ruling.

Three tweets down is a retweet about an LGB conference. The tweet before that is about her taking legal action against libellous statements.

A few more tweets down from that is something about a man who fought a polar bear off with a saucepan.


I don’t see those. Given the intense pace at which she posts stuff, maybe I just didn’t go far enough.

Women’s rights to single-sex spaces and LGB conferences are definitely about trans issues. I bet the libelous statements thing is too.
