In today’s episode of “Why Can’t Celebrities Just Log Off,” J.K. Rowling is back at it again with the tweets — and this time she’s puffing cigars and dropping hashtags like she’s auditioning for a reboot of The A-Team no one asked for.

The controversy stormed in right after the UK Supreme Court dropped a ruling that said trans women are not legally recognized as women — a decision that managed to be both infuriating and completely unsurprising, like soggy chips in British weather.

Enter Nicola Coughlan: actress, activist, Irish queen, and now, the internet’s favorite polite but powerful smackdown deliverer.

JK Rowling celebrated the ruling with a photo of herself looking like a Bond villain who just successfully gentrified a rainbow — cigar in hand, cocktail in tow, and the caption:

“I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights”

Okay Hannibal Lecter with a Twitter account, calm down.

Nicola, clearly having zero time for this nonsense (and likely mid-tea-sip), responded not with a tweet, but with an Instagram Story — the 2025 version of a noble scroll.

“Keep your Harry Potter lads. Wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole,” she wrote.
Translation: “You can take your Hogwarts reboot and shove it straight into the Room of Requirement where no one will ever find it again.”

But that’s not all! This Bridgerton baddie didn’t just toss shade, she pulled out her philanthropy wand and started a fundraiser for Not A Phase, a UK charity supporting trans adults. She even pledged to match donations up to £10,000. That’s 10,000 reasons to love her, and zero reasons to rewatch Fantastic Beasts.

In a video, Nicola called the ruling — and the gloating around it — “stomach-turning and disgusting,” which is also what I say every time I remember Goblet of Fire left out SPEW.

She added:

“If you’re a cis person and you’re an ally, now’s the time to speak up.”

And then she signed off with the kind of mic-drop caption that deserves its own merch line:

“F–k the Supreme Court, f–k the TERFs, let’s raise some money.”

Mic? Dropped. TERFs? Shaking. Allies? Activated.

By the next day, the fundraiser had pulled in over £70,000. That’s enough to buy roughly 400 copies of The Half-Blood Prince… or one VERY fancy rainbow unicorn statue, which I hope she does.

JK’s tweet was a mess.
Nicola came in with sass, cash, and class.
And the trans community got some well-deserved support — and a new hero in pink tulle and Irish fire.

We love to see it. 💅✨
