JK Rowling to fund gender-critical women's cases against employers and public spaces

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/jk-rowling-fund-gender-critical-125304053.html

JK ROWLING has opened a fund to bankroll cases for women “fighting to retain sex-based rights”.

The Harry Potter author, who donated to For Women Scotland’s gofundme to challenge the definition of gender under the Equality Act in the Supreme Court, has set up a fund to help gender critical women to pursue action against employers and public services.

The J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund (JKRWF) says it will provide funding to give women “the means and confidence to bring to justice cases that make legal precedents, force policy change, and make positive contributions to women’s lives in the future”.

It sets out a checklist for those applying, such as fighting a tribunal because of “their expressed beliefs” or being “forced to comply with unreasonable inclusion policies” in single sex spaces.

Don't give any more money to people who support hate.

This remake is being made so that a certain person who goes out of their way to post hateful things against transgender people can try to erase the wonderful movies that already exist, which were made using actors who have all mostly made statements in support of transgender rights. I used to love this franchise and I will not be giving this person or this franchise one more cent of my money.
