JK Rowling falls silent as she could be prosecuted in Imane Khelif lawsuit
"Harry Potter" author Rowling has been absent from social media for several days, after erroneously calling female Olympic boxer Khelif a "man."
Author J.K. Rowling has fallen silent on her usually busy X (formerly Twitter) feed, after Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif filed a legal complaint in France for alleged cyber harassment over statements regarding her gender.
On August 9, lawyers for Khelif filed a lawsuit with a special unit of the public prosecutor's office in Paris, stemming from false statements that spread online about her gender after the Algerian boxer defeated Italy's Angela Carini in her first fight of the 2024 Olympic Games. Carini pulled out 46 seconds into the bout and told reporters afterwards that she had "never felt a punch like this."
You're viewing a single thread.
The Wall Street Journal still has an article online that says:
The Algerian boxer is biologically male but allowed to compete in the female category
Fuck Jeff BezosEDIT: Oh dang this isn't WaPo. Fuck him anyway though.
Wait how is this blatant lie allowed to remain published online? I thought the WSJ had at least some credibility?

A lot of people still think there's consequence or rules or regulations on what publications can say or do. We abolished those laws a long time ago.
Sue'em, hard.
No modern US media has any credibility anymore. They are owned by a handful of wealthy people who don't give a shit about truth or journalistic integrity.
WSJ is a Murdoch propaganda outlet
Bezos has nothing to do with the Wall Street Journal
my bad
Upvote because you recognized you were incorrect & you weren’t a rowling about it!

It's not like I have to take back the "Fuck Jeff Bezos" part. Just not specifically about this.
Never, ever take back a “fuck Bezos” 💪👍🙏
Unless you meant it literally; I would never encourage sexual intercourse with that... being.
Hold up though, here me out. Well, lets just say things could get interesting with a splintered 4x4 piece of lumber. Ya know, for science.
I saw a post on c/196 about a brutalist butt plug.
Never poo poo a poo poo.
You spelled Rupert Murdoch wrong.
The author, colin wright, touts himself as a fellow for SEGM "The Society For Evidence-Based Gender Medicine;" which is a non-profit organization that is known for its opposition to gender-affirming care for transgender youth and for engaging in political lobbying.
He's a POS who gets paid to write smear pieces endangering the lives of trans people, by people with even worse ideals than his own.
