My column on how @jk_rowling is cancelling cancel culture: Cancel culture works by creating a state of “pluralistic ignorance” in the community. That happens when we all hold different views and perspectives (as is normal) but – because it is only safe to utter one view – most
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling The truth is that TERF Rowling is trying to cancel transgender people; demanding she be permitted to make offensive & malicious comments about them as she does so. She smears all trans people with the crimes of a minority, and uses her followers to pile on and cancel trans allies
@TheRAP1966 @jk_rowling No, her point is very simple: women have a right to assert their identity as natural women - born females, regardless of their relationship to gender norms - and to have spaces which are devoted just to that identity. That doesn’t mean that trans women should cease to exist,
@parnellpalme @threadreaderapp unroll
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling I have been reading about the French Revolution lately. It was very similar. Any utterance against the Revolution or against the people's assembly was met with guillotine. Robespierre made the laws very vague and conviction was simple. Interestingly, the extremists who believed
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling JK Rowling is an important factor. But there was a time when a woman was banned from Twitter for saying "only women have a cervix". JKR couldn't say what she has said without Musk putting down c$40bn.
@parnellpalme @Jebadoo2 @jk_rowling Will you be reporting on the Tickle vs. Giggle case of @salltweets next week? The media silence is deafening on this fundamental case on the definition of a woman.
@parnellpalme Well written, sharp and insightful piece on the vileness of trans ideology and cancel culture that one doesn't read often in the very woke @smh and it's sister @theage. Hope their capture by trans activists is weakening.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling When they can’t control what you think they’ll try to control what society thinks of you.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Brilliant article, well written. I hope, because it was published, this means the people with veto power at our major media organs are finally growing a spine.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling 👏 👏 👏 Fantastic piece, & well done @smh for publishing this.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling save the ink, it can be put very simply: almost everyone is cowardly

@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Great article! So pleased this is finally being voiced on mainstream media 👏🏽
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling The Emperor has no clothes.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Rather insightful, that is exactly the dynamic at play.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling 🙏🏼 hervorragend!
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Good article. I'm not sure how many will stand up to the woke vicious left mob.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Kinda shocked this got past the editor at the smh!
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling If this article is important and so good that everybody should read it, it should not have a pay wall. Not many will read it if they need to subscribe.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling I haven't heard her speak out against the Israeli genocide. That's cancel culture right ther@
@parnellpalme @DieMadTerf @jk_rowling Scotland does not have a self ID law. The GRR Bill was stopped from becoming an Act by a Section 35 action by the UK government. People think self ID is law due to Stonewall misrepresenting the law.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Hi McGuiness, do you know how easy it is to find out that the Women's Rights gathering on the Parliament House steps in Melbourne last year was not organised by Moira Deeming? But by @ThePosieParker ? Also, that there were 4+ other protest groups gathering along the stairs? 1/2
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Not another Parrot screeching woke woke woke. Just say you don't like trans people and you wish they were all dead. Seriously you lot beating around the bush I miss the old bigots least they had the guts to say what they mean.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Thanks to those who stand up to be counted. Just another bunch of people telling others what to think and feel.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Can you share the article? It’s behind a paywall.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling If only this were true. Rowling and her suppprters cancel people too.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Cancelling something that doesn’t exist, that’s brilliant
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling My view is it's all utterly nuts.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Retweet
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Breaking news: Being a shitty person isn't illegal.
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling Probably a comment on justice being bought and the need for the weak to create "the other".
@parnellpalme @jk_rowling A great column...beautifully explained.
