“Speaking in CAPTCHA codes.”

Another day, one other trolling

On Monday, Rowling made yet one more publish trying to pit trans folks and homosexual folks in opposition to one another, writing, “Tell me again how gender ideology isn’t homophobic.”

“Would you trust this UK doctor, who was suspended from practicing by the medical council and now heads up quasi-medical trans advocacy group GenderGP, to be sympathetic to a young girl who’s attracted to other girls?” she continued.

What adopted was first a screenshot of a July 26, 2025, tweet from Helen Webberley. Webberley had her medical license suspended over treating trans kids again in 2022—a suspension she efficiently appealed. However, she claimed she struggled to have her license revalidated due to the incident, and it was finally revoked final 12 months.

The tweet in query criticized the “gender critical” motion by writing, “Have you noticed that the only argument they have is that if you have a willy you must be a man.” Webberley went on to theorize that “an absolute fear of willies is what drives them” and steered “phallophobes need help.”

It’s price noting that her feedback have been on no account associated to same-sex attraction or criticizing lesbians for not wanting to this point somebody with a penis, as Rowling appeared to insinuate was her concern.

Things take a complicated AI flip

As if pulling up a tweet from a number of months again and twisting it to suit her personal narrative wouldn’t have been annoying sufficient, there’s truly extra to the story.

Rowling didn’t publish a static screenshot of Webberley’s tweet. Instead, she posted a video that started with the tweet and devolved into what we will solely assume is AI nonsense.

The display screen morphs into two subsequent screens that present utter gibberish textual content—a trademark of AI. And completely no person could make sense of what the purpose of any of it’s or why Rowling posted—not quote retweeted, however truly posted—this video within the first place.

Despite quite a few folks stating the “AI slop” facet of her publish and even simply asking what’s happening there, Rowling doesn’t seem to have addressed the video. At least, she hasn’t addressed it to the general public. Perhaps she’s discussing it with “the mold” proper now.
