Kate Nash is not the brightest spark but GERM song trashing brave JK Rowling for fighting for real women is unforgivable
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE song 'GERM', by Kate Nash, has gone viral – which is how I came across it on social media. How dare she? The 37-year-old pop musician seems to be obsessed with slamming those feminists she has decided are 'bigots' and 'misogynistic'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Kate Nash's song 'GERM' has gone viral for condemning TERFS - specifically J.K. Rowling Credit: Redferns 3 Julie Bindel says the lyrics represent an unforgivable betrayal of the women like Rowling who fought for the rights Nash is now in such a hurry to give away Credit: Getty In the lyrics she states that 'using feminism to erase the rights of others and endanger them is inherently unfeminist'. She is, of course, referring to me and my fellow feminists – the ones sharp enough to have noticed that our rights to single-sex spaces are being eroded, and who have spoken out about the dangers of allowing men to identify as women. She's got some nerve! Apparently, the song is for the 'LGBTQIA+ community' – and her main target is the wonderful J. K. Rowling. READ MORE OPINION PIECES JULIE BINDEL I spent 20 years fighting to prove trans women aren't women - today, we won Nash is such an ardent feminist that she's even persuaded the porn site OnlyFans to fund her tour. She has also referenced female genital mutilation (FGM), dictating to feminists that we should campaign against it instead of wasting our time slagging off trans people. Funny she should mention that, because we already do. One Somalian friend of mine – who's done a lot more to eradicate FGM than Nash has – was piled on by trans activists for using the 'exclusionary term' vagina when she spoke out. These lyrics represent an unforgivable betrayal of the women who fought for the rights Nash is now in such a hurry to give away. Protected by money and fame, she appears to care nothing about women seeking to escape violent men only to discover that women-only support services have been taken over by narcissistic men insisting they are women. Her use and abuse of rape victims – such as Sarah Summers, who is having to sue Brighton council for not providing women-only counselling services – is hateful. Nash talks about how 'cis men' perpetrate most rapes (meaning men that do not identify as women). Julia Hartley-Brewer stands with JK Rowling The truth is 100 per cent of rapes are committed by men – some of whom do pretend to be women. She's clearly not the brightest spark in the plug, but her repeated allusions to the wonderful Rowling throughout do not serve her well. When it was revealed that, across the whole of Scotland there was not a single rape crisis centre that had stuck to the original female-only premise on which they were built, Rowling put her time, money and effort into setting up Beira's place – an amazing support centre for women and girls who have been sexually assaulted. Elsewhere Rowling has established funds to alleviate hardship for women and their children, and to help women who are being discriminated, bullied, and even sacked from their jobs for holding the perfectly reasonable belief that sex is immutable. I'd love to know what Kate Nash has done, other than spend her time promoting porn sites, pouring scorn on feminists and inciting hatred towards those campaigning to end male violence. Where she gets her superiority complex from, I do not know; it's a complete mystery. One thing is clear: she should leave feminism to those of us that know what it actually is.
