88432 Im Still Not sure what Rowling said there was too much!!!!

I think her bitchy comments about periods was uncalled for anyone that goes through with the Op to become a woman is as much a woman as me... I have some friends who unfortunately can't have kids it doesn't make me more of a woman because i have kids....

But with those that identify..... A woman's shelter and toilet i agree should be for (anyone lacking man parts) only because any perv could walk in pretending to identify.....


Thats all i managed to find on the subject while googling, there was so much...... i asked both my brother and his boyfriend what was said (as they love potter too) , but they knew just about as much as me only that everyone fell out with her.....

But i still love her books, Agree with Mel and Elinor there....

Im Laura this is my third year on Uno luckily enough have been with Mel from the start of my uno adventure and joined forces with Lorna last year also!

Im a mama to two of the most magnificent little men my pint sized dictators 6 and 8, unfortunately my 6 year old has Autism, global developmental disorder and ADHD so untill hes a little older i can only work part time at my familiys restaraunt or boutique (seasonally) prior to that i was a bookings manager for a hotel and spa.

we all live in Greece as i fell in love and married the cute Greek barmen i met when i was 18, im 35 and we are still going strong!

im genarally a mood reader i love the british rom com, but i love paranormal and fantasy (always has to have a drop of romance) just not Regency!!!!

cant wait to begin!
