Rowling: you know, i never ssaid khelif wass transs
Rowling: i merely ssaid khelif wass a man ssecretly possing as a woman to win a ssporting competition in the vein of a raunchy 1980s PG-13 comedy ssex romp like "Just One of the Guys" (1985) or "Just One of the Girls" (1993)

Rowling: in fact, i never accussed anyone of being transs
Rowling: i merely believe that every living human being iss ssecretly the oppossite gender of the one that they purport to be
Rowling: except for me
Rowling: I am legend!

Rowling: thosse of you who claim to be men are obvioussly women
Rowling: thosse of you who claim to be women are obvioussly men
