JK Rowling has tweeted an image of a “Stonewall-approved, bearded, white lesbian” after facing fury for sharing a photo of her friend Allison Bailey, who is suing the controversial LGBT organization.
The 56-year-old Harry Potter writer posted a photo of her ‘inspiring’ friend Mrs Bailey, who is a lesbian, to mark Lesbian Awareness Week which started in the UK today.
The image, which showed Ms Bailey marching for LGB rights in San Francisco in 1991, sparked fury within the trans community because the lawyer is currently suing LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall and its London chambers over claims that she she was “silenced” for her views on transgender issues. .
Linda Riley, founder of Lesbian Awareness Week, accused Ms Rowling of using the week as “a vehicle to stir up more hate within our community”, adding that she “supports Stonewall”.
In response, Ms Rowling tweeted a photo of Alex Drummond, whom she called a “Stonewall-approved, bearded, white lesbian”, after claiming he had “sparked hate” for posting photos of “black lesbians marching for their rights”. .

Ms Bailey alleges that she was victimized for “raising concerns about Stonewall’s actions” with her Diversity Champions scheme and “trans women are women” philosophy.
She is a founding figure of the controversial LGB Alliance, an LGB charity and action group that has repeatedly clashed with Stonewall over her views on gender.
The lawyer claims she was ‘indirectly discriminated against’ because the charity and its chambers ‘hold gender-critical beliefs as intolerant and unworthy of respect’.
And he says he has lost work and income because of the dispute.
Ms Bailey’s chambers, Garden Court Chambers, say they “strongly contest” any claim that she acted unlawfully and are contesting her appeal to the Employment Tribunal service.
Meanwhile, Stonewall says its Diversity Champions program aims to help companies “become more inclusive of LGBT people.”
Ms. Bailey was among some of the country’s foremost feminists and women’s activists hosted by Ms. Rowling for a self-confessed booze luncheon in support of the ‘Respect My Sex’ campaign earlier this month.

Other guests at The River Cafe, in Fulham, included Professor Kathleen Stock, who resigned from her job at the University of Sussex after being accused of ‘transphobia’ and Helen Joyce, who wrote Trans: When Ideology Meets reality.
Co-founder of Sex Matters, who has joined other causes under the banner ‘Respect my sex if you want my X’, Maya Forstater was also there.
They were joined by Rosie Duffield MP and veteran Get The L Out-Lesbian NOT queer campaigner and campaigner Lianne Timmermann.
Many of the attendees at the meal have been threatened with death for their opinions or canceled by fans of the awakening.
Bailey, who describes herself as a feminist, is part of a group that believes that making it easier for people to identify themselves as women is a threat to feminism.
She says that “if the new trans activism is not harnessed, women will disappear as a political class.”
His LGB Alliance is a rival to Stonewall, Europe’s largest LGBT rights organization, but has been accused of transphobia for its gender-critical beliefs.
Ms Bailey is currently suing LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall and its London chambers over claims she was “silenced” for her views on transgender issues.
Earlier this year, the trans charity Mermaids launched an appeal against the Charity Commission’s decision to allow the group to have charity status.
The commission decided that the group was beneficial to the public through its educational and awareness activities on discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Ms. Bailey denies being transphobic, stating that she “has always been a supporter of transgender rights”.
In May, Ms Bailey became involved in a Twitter dispute with Robin White, a transgender barrister at Old Square Chambers, who acted for Stonewall in a failed attempt by the charity and the chambers to overturn her claim.
Ms Bailey tweeted in support of a guide titled ‘Boys and Girls and the Equality Act’, produced by Transgender Trend, an organization that describes itself as ‘calling for evidence-based care for children with gender dysphoria’. gender’.
Mrs White responded, describing the guide as “partisan, incomplete and misleading”.
He also said that following the guidance “would cause schools to act illegally with trans kids.”
After a series of responses, Mrs. Bailey wrote: ‘Robin, you have chosen to insert yourself into my timeline. It is up to you to reflect on the ethics of this.
