>In Frankly, Sturgeon describes Rowling’s decision to wear a t-shirt with the slogan “Nicola Sturgeon – destroyer of women’s rights” as a turning-point, making her feel “more at risk of possible physical harm”. In her review of the memoir on her website, Rowling wrote that her intention was to prompt journalists to ask Sturgeon questions about women’s safety, adding that she has never blamed Sturgeon for threats she’s herself received.
>**When I asked Sturgeon about this review, she said: “I don’t know where she gets the time! She is a highly successful woman. I’ve bought Harry Potter books for all the young people in my life, I think they’re great, but my goodness, where does she get the time to obsess about me? I hate to tell her that it’s just not reciprocated.”**
>She continued: “I don’t obsess about other individuals who happen to have a different view about me, they’re entitled to have a different view. There are some people in this life who, it strikes me often, spend an awful lot more time, like immeasurably so, thinking about me than I ever spend thinking about them.”
>On the t-shirt, Sturgeon said: “She comes at this from a position of women’s safety, of a debate that she thinks has got too much abuse in it and everything. And yet, for somebody in her position, instead of trying to lower the temperature and ease the rhetoric, does something that is very much about doing the opposite and very personalised,” she said. “I don’t live on a yacht, I don’t live behind big security gates. I’m not surrounded by security.”
>Will the two women ever come together to heal this split? “I think it looks really unlikely, but that’s not from my perspective,” Sturgeon replied. **“Look, I have no great animus towards JK Rowling. I never have done. We disagreed vehemently on independence. She has a very different view to me on trans rights. She’s entitled to that. I wish she would argue her position without what appears to me sometimes indulging in a bit of gratuitous cruelty to trans people.”**
Where does she get the time? She’s a rich and unemployed, probably has a good amount time to do anything wants with
She’s a multi millionaire who made her fortune and is now living the good life. Plenty of time!
Not where, why ?
To be fair, Nicola Sturgeon has had to put up with some amount of stick and she’s handled it quite well
JK Rowling might not agree with certain things but the way she’s pursued it and been so adamant on expressing herself without ceasing is terrible
She’s worth 1.2 Billion
If she decides to take time off from writing her next “Robert Galbraith:” novel I’m guessing her publisher will just wait.
Every interview ive seen of hers recently she has talked about Jk Rowling and her views on trans right like bbc, ITV interviews, Emily Matlis’s podcast, various radios shows, other company’s ones like this. Its been non stop so she acts like shes not bothered but constantly talks about it to sell her book, shes the obsessed one these days.
A real battle of titans here between [celeb far too obsessed with particular issue] and [poltiican complains about people talking about them]
Jk Rowling is pretty clearly overly obsessed with trans issue, but at the same – yeah no shit there’s going to be a lot of people who spend much more time thinking about you than you do them, **you were leader of the country**
Is the shaved Ewok still hawking her book? Its all we ever hear about.
