Famous People Rally Around JKR Because Death Threats

• 2020-09-27 Writers and actors including Ian McEwan and Griff Rhys Jones rally around JK Rowling amid onslaught of social media abuse and deaths threats over 'transphobia' row
  • Nina Paley: "Because the Sunday Times is behind a #@$%! paywall/subwall, here’s a Daily Mail link that reprints the open letter defending JK Rowling that ran in the Times today. I am super proud to be a signatory to this!"

Confirmed that JKR has received death threats. Ugh.

Also, receiving death threats doesn't mean you're right; it just means that any movement is going to contain, or be used as cover by, assholes... and if you make people fear for their livelihoods by threatening their rights, you're likely to get some of them lashing out verbally.
