GC twitter in crisis mode. Margaret Atwood isn’t a Large Gamete believer. JCJ is spitting mad, even more than usual. Dr Beetle has been @‘d about a 100 times but has not yet shown up with her asparagus. Are they ready to burn their Handmaid’s Tale costumes? This could get ugly.

In lieu of the authoritative voice of a biologist who can assert that women and asparagus plants are members of the same natural kinds, they’re doing what they can: e.g. a dictionary attack.

But I love how she’s trying to push back against the idea of a word (“sex” in this instance) having multiple meanings by literally posting a screenshot of a dictionary entry in which *it has more than one definition.*

The old “retweeting someone I disagree with to set my followers on them.”

“The last decade” - again trying to make out that their arguments are something new. Or maybe she really is that clueless, who knows.

It’s too late and it’s too depressing to keep reading, but they are now begging JK Rowling to intervene. https://twitter.com/Katja_Thieme/status/1280319720613273600?s=20

One told her to call JKR personally. How do you open a conversation like that? “I’d like to know more about this mob of enraged twitter lunatics you’ve fallen in with”???
